As Emiri had told the tale of this scholar, Wesley had to admit that he was just a bit intrigued by it. No matter how spooky it might've seemed or how absurd it sounded, in this world and the things that they had bore witness to, Wesley would be a fool to deny these things to be true. One thing he knew, however, was that Grant didn't want things like this to be true. Even before Emiri had stated he wasn't that fond of ghost stories, he could tell the anxiety that his soon to be uncle-in-law feared the moment Emiri would use the fabled 'we should split up' suggestion. In many horror tales that the servants would tell the kids, that was a common phrase used.

And, as soon as Emiri said it, Grant would protest without a moment's hesitation. That would result in Wesley letting out a low chuckle. [color=fff79a]"There is nothing to fear, Grant. I'm almost positive that what Emiri said isn't the truth. That tale, whilst convincing, is one I've heard as well..at least, a version of it."[/color] He didn't actually believe that, but for Grant's sake, he'd put on a convincing face for him. [color=fff79a]"It's a big library, though, so we'd benefit from taking a different section. If we do run into trouble, just use the mental link established by the Word and our Espers. Or, just meet at the central pillar where all sections meet."[/color] Wesley said, giving Grant a nod.

[color=lightblue]"You both are utterly useless."[/color] Savayna let out a disappointed sigh. Though, as she would exchange her glance from their rather curious, hopeful ones to the sight of the spear, she did wonder about that same thing. High as it was and easy as retrieving it would also be, a good point was raised about how something that valuable being so high wouldn't have some kind of countermeasure in play. [color=lightblue]"Perhaps, we should formulate a plan before we--"[/color] Savayna was inturrupted mid-thought as Jaakuna would start climbing up the rack, using the secured weapons as steps [color=lightblue]"--what are you doing?"[/color] She asked Jaakuna.

[color=ed1c24]"I'm climbing - what does it look like I'm doing?[/color]"

She shook her head. [color=lightblue]"I can see that, you idiot. I mean, why are you doing that without us deciding on it?"[/color]

Jaakuna was about halfway up the rack. He stopped, looked down at Savayna and Nadeline. He gave them a thumbs up, climbing more. and though Savayna was worried for him, she had to admit that his climbing speed was rather impressive. 

After a few moments, Jaakuna had reached the top. He was just a few steps away from the spear and it only occurred to Savayna that he was rather high. He was at least three stories from the ground. The thought of something bad happening to him the minute he touched the spear came to her. She couldn't explain it, but there was something in her gut that just knew there would be some sort of trouble coming their way as soon as he touched the spear.

And, as his right hand made physical contact with it, for a moment, Savayna thought that maybe she was being just a bit too paranoid.

[color=ed1c24]"Hey, look! I have it!"[/color] Jaakuna exclaimed, pulling it off of its surprisingly unsecure latching. 

And as soon a sJaakuna did, an alarming noise went off that sent a pulse of mist to latch onto JAakuna's limbs, suspending him in the air. He tried to wiggle himself free of it, but the more he did, the tighter the mist had restrained him and had banged him against the steel racks; each time was harder than the last.

[color=ed1c24]"A little help ple--ow--ase!" [/color]
