He runs his fingers along the spines of the books stacked across the shelf, disappointed to find that all the names don’t ring familiar. Ashe isn’t even certain of what it is he hopes to find here, but books have always been a comfort to him, and if there’s anything he’s in need of so far from his home and his companions, it’s something comforting.
Not that he should have expected this unusual place to have any of his favorites, but he’s persistent in his searching all the same. It’s a library, and what library could simply not include such unforgettable classics? Though he knows them all front to back, to hold a copy of The Moon Knight’s Tale or Loog and the Maiden of Wind in his hands again would really make his day. They seem to be omitted entirely, however, so at this point he’d happily take any knight fables this place could offer up.
As he continues pouring over the shelves in silence, he takes notice of a young woman browsing the same selection. Anticipating her approach, he steps to the side, allowing her unimpeded access to the section of books he’d been lingering in front of.
“Not in the way, am I?” he asks quietly, respectfully keeping his voice down just low enough for only her to hear it. Gotta be mindful of others trying to read, after all.
