"Pfft," Calix snorted as he skimmed the stack of books.

"Did ol' Anselm order for these to be written about him?" he mocked, thumbing through another propagandistic publication.

"Greetings, Young Lord," the woman smiled as she dropped her load of books next to the stack Calix had been browsing. "What brings you to the royal library today?"

"I'm looking for someone," Calix began before pausing to scan the woman again. "Well, I believe I'm looking for you."
