There is something that people a thousand years ahead of Odile take advantage of and do not even think about it.
Clear, bright light, at all hours of the day. No flickering of the dim light of candles. And while she could easily conjour up good light to use, why waste the effort when she can easily come to Milliways and procure a table, something to drink-
And use the readily available light here while Odile works on repairing a book.
That is something else most people take for granted. This book is hand bound, hand written, illustrated with rare pigments and gold leaf. Easily quite valuable, and from the rusty stain on the front cover, its probably worth more than someone's life-
Or at least it was, once. Which is why Odile is being very careful as she sorts through some of the pages that have gotten loose.
