Nicholas watched Cal flirt with the children before they wandered away, even his brother in tow. [color=5b8a9a]“Hm. Barty must find them amusing; he'd rather let a man die than help him for free. My sympathies to them.”[/color] Nicholas chuckled once the group made their way to the dungeons. [color=5b8a9a]“Perhaps he'll even let some of them come back vaguely sane this time.”[/color] 

Nicholas considered the question, but there really only was one answer. [color=5b8a9a]“The library. We may need additional resources to make sense of what they found; I'd rather have everything on hand than need to take notes or disrupt our focus because we took an extended trip away from our workspace.”[/color] Nicholas decided, leading the way out of the hall before he reconsidered. [color=5b8a9a]“We also could step into the Professor's study if we think finding a way to decode his language could be of use? The message he left may help us in this. Though, we may well have time to do both. We'll start with what our covenmate brought us and we'll see how our time takes us. You left the material in your dorm? Then we shall be off.” [/color] 

The trip to the dorm and then subsequently to the study was unhurried, Nicholas happy to enjoy the stroll after the meal. He enjoyed them when he had the opportunity to indulge and when they stopped at the shifter's dorm, he waited at the door and watched Cal collect his things.
