[Claire is peering at the Vine outside the library, looking decidedly confused.]

Something a little strange just happened--yes, I know everything here is strange, but...those creatures in the library. Bears, yes? There's a section of it they're guarding, and they wouldn't let me through before. But today they stood aside...

Huh... either they loosened up the rules, or you hit whatever age they're holding those off for.

I wouldn't really waste any time in that part of the library.

I'm thinking the second one must be it--I'm not completely sure, but I think my birthday must have passed by now. Eighteen is sort of an arbitrary age, though, isn't it?

I thought there might be something useful there--maybe some cookbooks for once. But no luck.

Well, when people start passing laws on who can do what when, the ages kinda have to be arbitrary.

A place you can only go when you're an adult is gonna be all, well, 'adult' material in a place like this.

I guess that makes sense. My village was so far from the capital that laws weren't exactly enforced much, though.

Is that what it's called, "adult" material? Seems I've learned something new.

It's a nicer term for, er, erotic stuff. Haven't read any of it myself, so I don't know what it's all actually like.

I can't really say much, since I put down everything I started reading very quickly. [she looks a bit flustered again.] It just seems...like something that should be kept private.

Well it's not the sort of thing people actually talk about all that much, even when they do read about it. But it's weird to have a whole branch of a library dedicated to it.

Considering the Queen's intentions, maybe not...I just hoped the library would have a bit more variety.

Guess it goes to show that she's not just into the more innocent parts of romance.

[persical]

She ought to be more flexible, really! There are children here.

[gun_cata]

They are banned from that part of the library.

[persical]

That's a good point...but what we really need are more useful books. Like ones full of recipes.

video

[gun_cata]

I've been getting by on basics, but that would be pretty nice to have more variety. Maybe if we bug the queen enough next time she puts herself out there we can get something.

[persical]

I'll remember to do that. If she's really concerned with making us comfortable, she should listen.

video

[gun_cata]

Might help if we spin it to make it sound romantic.

[persical]

That's true...maybe mention candlelit dinners and picnics for two...
