At the mention of books, Loren immediately perked up. Jiao probably had no way of knowing this, but he felt the same about new volumes as she probably did about new clothes. [say]”Is there a library in Sidhe?”[/say] This was the first he’d heard of it, but then again he knew pretty much nothing about the Fae, so that wasn’t that surprising.
Strangely, it seemed that Jiao was equally ignorant of the non-Fae. Her confusion was evident, and he rushed to explain. [say]”No, sorry. I just meant that only those among us who are favored and ask for the gift are given the ability to shift forms. Once given by the old gods, they can shift freely. However, the first shift doesn’t come naturally, or with age or practice.”[/say] That seemed to be how it worked among the Fae, if the summoner was understanding her words correctly.
His offer of help was tentatively accepted, and he smiled at her. [say]”Feel free to call upon me at any time. I live in the Launceleyn Manor. Everyone in the Hollowed Grounds should be able to point it out to you. It’s the giant mansion.”[/say] If Jiao ever flew over the area, maybe she’d seen it; it was a giant half-house half-fortress, impossible to miss.
