Vhalar 72 717; 14th Break
Location: Library of Andaris
It'd been a long day spent doing nothing but reading at his favorite place in the city, as he'd always done ever since he'd moved here with his own mother. Though she'd always wanted him to help out with the peddling business, Seth had found his interests too invested in books to want any involvement in business. Sure he could've learned how to be a worthy investor much like she was in her time, but too much existed out in the world for one to pass up learning these days. At his table were a stack of books all completely random and disorganized, three or four books found in a pile while two stacks seemed to rest on his right. To the left he only had one or two books stacked, tomes that he'd managed to clear through in just several Breaks. One was more or less just a generalized history of Rynmere in general along with some folklore, he found the stuff on Jacadon and their capacity to be ridden in another as well. Volareon's were just as majestic if not more common among the fabled skyriders of course.
Now he'd been caught up in the machinations of another curiosity, a book on the antics of Rynmere's cultures and the differences in others. There'd been some brief sermons written as well as the lifestyle differences found in neighboring cities, to the south in a place called Rharne they were well known for their rambunctious partying and excessive drinking. It was because Ilaren had been their patron deity since the founding of the city, therefore drinking seemed to be a constant thing the locals there praised. Compared to Andaris that seemed wild and eccentric, given the differences in laws and beliefs found here. A bit of a repetitive thump could be heard as someone seemed to lose their stack of books, one of the scribes had nearly slipped and dropped all their books in the process. The poor clumsy fool wound up being chastised by one of the bookkeepers of the library here, all in hushed whispers why everyone else seemed to return to their own book. Seth included.
It'd been a little mishap and nothing more, no reason to think it so disruptive on his reading time. Interesting. He figured when he read more about the fact Rharne allowed multiple marriages between individuals, something like that definitely seemed rather frowned upon in the region of Rynmere. Well. Now I know where to go to learn more about polygamy. He mused with a gentle shut of the tome as he placed the green book down in front of him, with a glance over to his unread stack he exhaled a sigh through his nostrils. He loved to read. Nothing better to do than just that! Of course he realized how long he'd gone without munching on anything, thus he quietly pulled out a package of loafed bread baked by his mother. With a piece torn from the loaf he nibbled on it casually and rested an cheek on his fist, curious about the other choices he'd managed to grab earlier. He'd already forgotten what exactly they all were, since he'd been caught up in his other books all day.
Guess I'll just have to worry about it when I finish this one. He concluded with a shrug as he tore off another piece of bread, the bit shoved into his mouth as he simply flipped back open to the page where he left off.
