Maea

And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain

Chaele would quickly discover that most of the furniture was free from pests, except one. In the upholstery of a particularly plush armchair a family of mice had made themselves comfortable; however, they were now in danger of being squashed should anyone sit down in the chair.

The shelves must have become brittle in the years of neglect. When Isla began to disturb the scrolls and books, a terrible groan was all the warning she got before the whole thing suddenly came thundering to the floor, in a cloud of dust and littered paper!

As for Nikolai.... It was a valiant effort, truly. There was nothing wrong with his system, nor did the books put up any resistance. It was just... not the same task he had started on. Maea looked up from the desk where she had been replacing the ink and quills, and tried her best to keep from laughing at the grim determination on his face.

"We can deal with all that sorting together, later," she offered. A loud crash from inside the study had ger wincing. "Why don't you go help Isla instead? I can finish up here."

Round 3 - not great rolls, alas. Keep it up! Almost done.

Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
