"Yes, I suppose that might be true. I have some books for when Aoife wants to learn to read, by the way. I began to make them after showing Maea...some for adults, but some for children too. If Ronin doesn't mind, I could teach her." Sam had surprised himself with how much he'd actually enjoyed teaching, how good he'd been at it, a gentle and understanding teacher with clear instruction. When he was simply a vessel for information he found his nerves subdued considerably.
Upon hearing Remi had already gone out of the barrier he raised his eyebrows and took a sip of his (now mostly cold) tea. He certainly was brave. Sam had not even considered leaving after he'd heard the warnings about the outside, despite his part in the Spire's invasion.
"I see...what are the Fae like? You know.." He laughed. "At this point, you may as well join the Loreseeker's guild yourself. I want to ask you for so much information on so many things. But I would love to hear more of the Fae, if you know anything. And of anything else you saw out there. I do hope you did not find yourself in too much danger." Not that he thought Remi couldn't handle it. His diaries described all kinds of scrapes and problems solved by the other man's bravery and cunning.
