"I've never been able to read runes, can you?" Andion asked, looking up.

"No, not really. I can pick up a few here and there, though," Blaine said without looking up from her book.

"It's a start, I wonder if anyone else here can read them…" Andion wondered.

"Maybe. What about one of the librarians? Do you think they can?" Blaine asked, looking up at him.

Andion shrugged, "It's possible, I have a friend who can read them but they don't get back in town until later tonight."

Blaine clicked her tongue. "Darn. Well, if a librarian can't read them we might have to wait until later or tomorrow to ask your friend."

"I'll go ask around with the librarians, if they can't read them we can go on a little adventure tonight." Andon said, giving Blaine a wink before standing.

"Hm, all right," Blaine hummed, grinning up at him. "I'll look for more of the symbols."

Andion nodded and headed off to find the librarians. Asking them what he wanted to find out with not much luck.

Blaine had flipped through every book and was on the last one when she noticed something. There were indented areas in the margins of the pages that looked very similar to the ones on the door and in the other book. She squinted at them and leaned closer to the table.

"Nothing. No one here can read them." Andion sighed and sat down, rubbing his face, "Find anything?"

"Yeah, I think…" Blaine said as she pushed the book closer to him. She pointed to the indentations. "See those? They match the ones on the door and in the other book."

"So they do. Nice work Blaine." Andion gave her a grin.

"Thanks. Now… Should we look for more or move on?" Blaine wondered, smiling up at him.

Andion shrugged, "Like I said, my friend doesn't arrive until later tonight so… why don't we go get lunch?"

"That sounds like a good idea. I'm starving," Blaine chuckled, closing the book before standing.

"Me too." Andion stood and closed his book, "Let's just leave the books here."

Blaine nodded. "Sure. It'll take too much time to figure out where they belong. Plus, we can find them again easier this way."

"All true. I was just being lazy in all honestly." Andion admitted, heading towards the door.

"Go figure. Leave it to the woman to come up with a legitimate reason," Blaine teased with a grin, nudging him gently.

"Hey!" Andion nudged her back but grinned, "I also thought it would be easier to come back to… but lazy is the main reason."

"Ha! Sure it is," Blaine joked with a laugh.

"It is! Assassin's honor." Andion said, placing a hand in his chest.

"As if our honor has much meaning," Blaine said, rolling her eyes. "We're assassins for goodness sake. We hardly have honor."

"Again, another good point. Alright, man's honor, my honor." Andion said, crossing his arms but still smiling.
