The Biblioplex wasn't as impressive as they made it sound. What a disappointment.

[......]

Anyway. Which of you are capable? I need assistance looking into [...] something.

I can pay you, I suppose. But only after a successful venture.

Goats need not apply.

What's your definition of a "successful venture"?

Be careful. All these other people she's recruiting seem like idiots.

Then I'd distinguish myself quickly as an assistant. If I agreed to help her, which...

Don't worry. I know you're not going to be tempted by the promise of a few shiny coins.

My dearest Adrian. Do I seem worried?

No, you seem bored. Which is worse.

We should be making friends here. I'm calling dibs on Helmine. She seems funny.

You don't have to call dibs on people. We can both be friends with someone. Theoretically.

But then who will I gossip to about you? I can't be dealing with conflicted loyalties.

Don't gossip about me?

A girl needs her confidantes. Especially when she's preparing for a lifelong commitment.

I don't gossip about you.

That's what I love about you Obscura boys. You keep secrets.

Are you going to tell me what this mystery activity is?

Don't worry, darling. I'm not looking to leave you a widower.

I don't think it counts if you die before the wedding anyway.

[...] I'm curious and good at keeping secrets, as you well know. What's the harm in telling me? Maybe I can help.

~~We could always move up the~~

And maybe I just like denying you. [...] It's too early to say what it is. If it turns out to be something you can help with, I'll let you know.

A satisfying amount of knowledge gained with minimal collateral damage?

What kind of knowledge requires a team of assistants?

Quite a fascinating kind. From what I've seen.

Would you deal me in? I don't need financial compensation.

Just to sate your curiosity, then?

Maybe I want to know what kind of trouble a girl like you could get up to.

When you put it like that, I almost want to keep you guessing.

But. I have a feeling you'll have a lot to contribute, so consider yourself dealt in.

I'm sure you have plenty of mysteries left to uncover.
