i'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
It's half midnight and Belgarath has found it so easy to readjust to the Vale, but not so easy to get used to a pup underfoot. Particularly not when he's trying to work. Tego is sleeping for now, and he was...trying to, but there are some nights harder than others.
Always the way, he figures.
This finds him in the nexus again, uninterested in simple time-passing questions and disinclined to try to inspire more spirited debate...he ends up in an out of the way alcove, instead, and one of the books he borrowed from the nexus library.
He may be surreptitiously reproducing the text into a previously blank book next to him as he reads. What. There's no rule against it. (...there probably will be after, if anyone catches him at it, but these are fascinating books and he fully intends to return them in precisely the condition he took them away in.)
