He had felt the little one as she approached, and a smile crossed his lips. She was expanding out, finding more around her than just the walls of the RDI. That was good.
When she crossed the threshold of the library, he nodded. She came seeking knowledge. Perhaps she was not too young after all for a mate. Only time would be able to see this one through, as he had told her mate, Arthur, the previous night.
Looking over, he smiled a small smile to the one that had fallen asleep at the books, and now was resting in the large bed in the corner, wrapped in the old blankets. It was good, as well, that Sid had finally found some rest. She would need it for the trials that were coming.
Closing the book, he turned from the table he sat at and moved down the stairs from the third floor to the first. He would soon have to make another basement to this place. Even with the magical enchantments he had placed within the building to hold many and more than the walls should be able to, he was quickly running out of room. Such was the price of this place and its magic?s within the pages that it housed.
Upon reaching the bottom step of the stair, his smile grew a bit more. The look of awe that the little one had tried to hide at the sight of so many books was still written on her face. It would be interesting to see what look she brought once she learned what was in them.
?Well... it is wonderful to see you out, little sister. Welcome to the Athenaeum.?
