"Wonderful! Then I'll be sure to make sure they're all ready." He'd tried his best to make the books as colourful and interested as he could, with soft velvet covers instead of the usual leather to make them softer and nicer to touch for little hands. Sam did not know much about children but he knew they liked bright colours and patterns, so he had done his best to fill it with drawings and all his most vibrant inks.
He listened with rapt attention as Remi told him about the Fae. "They cannot lie...? What happens if they try to? Is it a law or..an actual physical inability?" It sounded nice in a way, a culture where you always knew people were being truthful with you. It would certainly make social interactions easier in a way, even though it might eliminate some kind little lies people told him.
"Wow. It...sounds an odd place. A little too exciting for me, probably." Imaging Remi sneaking around as a raccoon was a sweet, funny image and he smiled at it; the idea brought about a question. "I've read when Ascended drink from someone they can...take on their abilities. Does that mean...if I wanted to...I could.." He laughed again, shook his head, the idea was so bizarre. "...Be a raccoon too? From drinking from you on the night of the barrier's fall? I don't know why I would want to but it is just an odd thought to know I have that ability."
