*Can be seen on the steps in the manor reading a book, a slight frown on his face as he looks between the book and a dictionary*

Umm...Appeal...*flipping through the book* Uh...then we have....malum prohibitum...Which means what? *sighs* Man, who knew laws could be so confusing?

*nearly trips over him*

Kind of a strange place to be reading, isn't it?

Huh? Oh sorry... Morgan's still in the room, and I didn't want to bother him.

If you always talk out loud when you're reading, then I can understand.

*vaguely recognizes one of those books* ...what are you looking for?

*faint blush* I'm not a very good reader, I can read kids books, and that's mostly the best I can do.

I'm just looking up the laws here. *shows him* I thought it would be a good idea to familiarize myself with them. *looks back down* But it uses such big words.

*steps past him off the stairs* That's because we had to have someone official write up the treaties, to make sure they were ironclad.

We? You were there? What we you? Five?

Why couldn't they, you know? be words people would know?

I was there both fifty years ago when the original treaty was signed, and again six years ago when the castle was freed from Zexen.

Most average people don't try to read the lawbooks, unless they're studying law.

*as much as he wants to say something in retaliation...well, half the castle knows...*

I have a Rune. I stopped aging in my thirties.

I have a rune. *holds up his fierce tiger rune* I've had this since I was six. And I've grown since.
