Library [11/01]

It was deja vu all over again as Karal opened the library for the second day in a row.

Well, deja vu apart from the Firecat draped over his shoulder. Altra had flatly refused to walk in the snow, so Karal was having to juggle cat, tea, and the keys while snow slowly melted and soaked his socks.

"Yes, that's a lot of the reason Nysander asked me to come here," Seregil said. He tilted his head curiously. "Vkandis Sunlord -- is that your kingdom's ruler?"

"Oh! No, no, Vkandis Sunlord is my god. I mean, not mine alone, He is Karse's, I'm His priest," he explained. "The Son of the Sun, who's head of the church, is the ruler of Karse."

Seregil's eyes glinted with interest. "Sounds a little like Sakor."

"Sakor?" Karal asked curiously.

"One of the Sacred Four back in Skala," Seregil said. "He guards the hearth and directs the sun. He's the god of soliders and enflames the minds of your enemies."

"Your world is shared between four gods?" Karal asked, surprised. "Skala does sound a bit like Vkandis. I wonder..." He trailed off, completely lost in thought.

Seregil nodded. "The Sacred Four: Dalna, Astellus, Sakor and Illior. Illior -- or Aura in the tongue of my people -- is the one I follow. The Lightbearer sends dreams and magic, watches over seers, wizards and thieves."

It was enough to knock him out of his reverie, and he raised an eyebrow at Seregil, smiling a little. "And which are you?"

Seregil smiled. "Well, I'm no seer and my attempt at learning to be a wizard ended in failure..."

Karal laughed and shook his head. "No stealing the books," he warned. "The library's very protective of them."

"Thieving is actually more of a... hobby," Seregil said. "Or a skill set at least."

"Just as well." There was just the tiniest note of warning as he added, "I don't think it would go over well, were you to practice it here."

"I don't steal from friends," Seregil assured him.

"I'm a priest, so I must tell you you shouldn't steal at all," he said, assuming his most pious expression, but behind it he looked amused. "But you can feel free to take no notice of it."

"Usually priests make me.... uneasy," Seregil admitted. Uneasy of course was something of an understatement, especially when they were talking about rhui'auros. "But you are remarkably unmysterious for a priest."

Karal laughed. "I'm definitely not mysterious," he agreed.

Seregil grinned. "You might want to work on that. I'm not sure priests are allowed to be unmysterious."
