Yeah, that first day had been a bit of a downer, but Killian was notoriously optimistic. He'd taken the time he needed to accept this new fate, and now he was gonna make it his own. And that all started with getting to know the world, so off he went. At sunrise he set out from the clinic to explore the settlement, particularly interested in a great domed building, of which the side looked as if giant had taken a bite out of. It looked interesting enough, and Phoebe had called it the Atheneum. He had not a clue what that word meant, but he was gonna find out now.
He made his way into the dome, and found himself surrounded by some of his leastfavorite things. Books. Ugh, did Atheneum mean library or something? Whatever, he was already here so he might as well look around. The domed stretched up for a while, furnished with what was likely once very intricate and beautiful designs, but that had been dulled over the years. Arched doorways and iron gates, everything made of stone. Despite the books, this place was enticing, something bout the circular and spiraling shape alone was just interesting.
Killian started on the first floor, browsing the shelves for anything that might catch his eye. He was a capable reader, it'd been required he learn by his mentors back home. Something something about the heir's responsibilities. To be honest, it was likely that his reluctance to read came from being forced to learn, and his absolute stubbornness to do what he was told. Whatever the reason, he'd never been one to read for fun, and frankly he didn't associate the two words.
And so there he was, a book hater in the midst of a library, browsing but not really reading, strolling around aimlessly.
