"Maybe that's why he tucked it back here?" Tal hazarded. The dimming candle flame bobbed emphatically, but its glow was fading, barely able to illuminate the pages for Maea to read. The courier rubbed his neck awkwardly with his free hand, looking from the little ghost flame to the book in the Ancient's lap as she perused the contents. "Y'didn't want it goin' t'waste, huh?" he mumbled quietly to the lingering spirit, who bobbed again, proudly defiant even as the strength that had kept it tethered to its research drained away now that someone who would continue its work had found it.
Tal handed the candle to Maea as he accepted the book, using his Goggles to read the writing in the dim light that remained in their little section of the shelves. He flipped the rest of the pages slowly, but finally went back to the section on Rock Sliders with a shake of his head. "There's nothing else in there. The Rock Sliders are found in th'Fallin' area, though. My guess is that's where he went before..."
The little flame danced again, but it could offer no further guidance. With a sighing breeze that ruffled Maea's hair the little spirit...
...winked out.
