\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Librarian Byron Keates,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d you announce, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I<\/i> can read Rialkin!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n
His mouth widens in a shape echoing the noise that he emits: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153O!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Simply give me your manuscript, and I shall \u00e2\u20ac\u201c yes! \u00e2\u20ac\u201c read it!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d you declare.<\/p>\n
Byron hands you his sheaf of parchments, and you read them! It seems that the information encoded in Rialkin upon the pages which you now possess clears Byron\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s family name of an evil that has hung over his lineage like the Space-Sword of Damocles, except not related to a tyrant\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fears, but rather to a family scandal! Which isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t actually scandalous, after all! <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153O, lovely and learned stranger!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the librarian exclaims! \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How can I ever repay the great favor you have done for me and all my family this day?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am Princess Xanastasia Zuera Francel of the House of Dorg,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d you exposit, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153and my companion here is the Silver Marauder, otherwise known as Caroline Jun Yie. I have only recently recovered from amnesia induced by her mutinous crew of mercenaries, who attacked me whilst I was traveling here to Dashington Station. Those same mercenaries will shortly descend upon this station bent on destruction, and we must stop them!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Sweet Proet!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Byron breathes. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Of course, I will help in any way that I can. I am entirely yours, Princess!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He pauses, and takes the slow breath of a shy man who is about to say something rather forward to a beautiful woman whom he admires, and then speaks again: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Entirely<\/i> yours, if you take my meaning.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
You do, indeed, take his meaning! Now what? <\/p>\n
1) Take the librarian! Over his desk, if necessary!<\/a> <\/p>\n 2) It would be rude to leave Caroline out of the fun. Perhaps the three of you could do a little \u00e2\u20ac\u201c ahem – research<\/i> together?<\/a> <\/p>\n
