[color=fff79a][h3]Franziska[/h3][/color] Venedig Library [@Aqutanama] [hr] [color=fff79a]"Questions yes, any healthy person should ask plenty of them."[/color] She replied with a low chuckle. [color=fff79a]"Now whether you find an answer, that is of course, entirely up to oneself as well! Handing out answers doesn't make one smart. It makes one indulgent and lazy."[/color] Huck would have likely learned that she liked speaking in tongues, riddles, or answering questions with questions of her own. By now, they had moved some distance from the auction block, away from all the ensuing hubub and mess that was currently happening. She was quite grateful they had made a swift exit - she disliked any sort of attention. [color=fff79a]"...clean oneself?"[/color] Franziska echoed. [color=fff79a]"Ah...yes, I suppose you could use a little touch up. And...are you sweating? A fever?"[/color] Before he could say anything, she stopped in her tracks rather abruptly once more, placing a hand on his forehead. [color=fff79a]"Hm. Warm. Sweating. Ill? Or just a nervous reaction to being in unfamiliar land? Hold still."[/color] The mage placed a hand on his chest, uttering a few quiet words as his body was enveloped in a subtle, soft white glow. His body would feel much lighter, any grime and dirt that had been on him seemingly vanished in an instant. [color=fff79a]"There, clean!"[/color] By now they were in front of the Library. [color=fff79a]"Come along then. We'll give you a quick lesson in the generalities of Venedig and the histories as I can."[/color] She led him into the library proper, past the large double doors that served as its entrance, and into the maze of books on the inside. The library was big by normal standards to be sure. In fact most people thought it was the largest, but those fools simply hadn't seen the Library of the Illuminated. Histories, lost and recorded. So many books - she would take him there one day, but this would do for now. Finding a vacant table in the proper section, Franziska inhaled. [color=fff79a]"Here we are. This should be good. Historical records, maps, and other such things should be located here. Pick a place and start, but would suggest focusing on three things - Learning the Church of Existence, the Illuminated, and recent histories. While you do that, I shall see about getting you some proper attire, as well as see about dinner."[/color]
