To find forgiveness in the weeds
Osozo's question let Sam talk about his favourite topic: book restoration. "Well, you see: I try to sort them into several piles. Those that contain outdated text or information are usually the lowest priority, I just mark the sections that are incorrect. Then texts that are simply old and frail come next, because they will usually keep for at least a while longer. After that there is the books that are moulded or otherwise rotting: those I have to work to copy quickly, before they are eaten away." It was always a shame to see a beautiful work be covered in slimy green, though he'd seen it happen more times than he could count.
"I'm sure there's plenty of books on things you don't know in the Atheneum, if you've only just arrived." He smiled kindly, glad to show Osozo the selection if they so wished.
The disinterest in the Greatwood was likely a good thing if it meant the Demi-God would stay out for the time being. "Well, you can get to them both from the Spire portal. I have to say I'm rather partial myself to Torchline...the ocean is beautiful in the moonlight."
