Kaya was perfectly happy to change the subject seeing Bryant was getting annoyed with it. However at the question she simply shrugged slightly and waved her hand back and forth. “It’s been better. I’m not allowed to look at some of my dad’s books; he says the alchemy in it is too powerful and could be dangerous, so I’m a little limited in the different kinds I can learn. It doesn’t help that mostly everything I read is encrypted to some degree so that some stranger can’t pick it up and do something stupid with it, so sometimes I just hit blocks and get stuck.”

She pulled a book out of the bag she had sitting beside her and placed it on the table. I spent a good portion of the holidays trying to crack this one but I can’t for the life of me figure it out. At this point I’m not even sure what the book’s supposed to be about so that’s not helping.” She pouted slightly before shrugging with a small smile. “I’ll get there someday. I don’t know what’s more frustrating, being unable to read the information in front of me or knowing there is more I’ll never even get a chance to look at.”
