Treasure! [Monday, Period One]

[good_for_six]

Today the workshop was being held in the Library, and while last week Aphra had had the vaguely annoyed air about her, this week it was Isabela.

"Today we're doing research," she said, in a deceptively light and airy tone. "Both because it's what we had planned for last week, and because some of you couldn't recognise treasure if it was right in front of you." But not you, Belle, you were doing great.

Aphra, for once, wasn't going to touch that last part. "Anyway, libraries are great, even if this one being full of actual, physical books is pretty retro," she said. "And doing research is like its own treasure hunt but for knowledge." Hope you enjoyed hearing a grown woman wax rhapsodic on shelving systems, guys.

"Anyway, your task today is to find a book on a subject you really treasure."

Graham had wanted to properly research for treasure that morning, truly, he had! But you had to understand, he'd been a king this weekend! A buff king! With a successful kingdom and storied history of successful adventures and an actual queen and heirs on the way?? You couldn't just shake that off the next morning!

So even though Graham started his quest for research in earnest, it truthfully did sort of just become a situation where he was wandering the shelves with a far-distant, mystified expression on his face, sometimes occasionally stopping to let out an awe-struck "Zounds!" or "King! King of Daventry!" to no one in particular.

He was probably going to be like this for a while.
