Kvothe hasn't been very relaxed lately, what with the mysterious figures in the corners of his vision and the sounds he can't explain, but he's trying to keep on as normally as he can. That of course, means that he can often be found in the library. As he moves through the stacks he abruptly starts and looks around. Seeing nobody he starts

Well, here's a voice that is real, and a very twitchy Bast, since a certain cloud of quiet footsteps have taken to following him and echoing his every sound.

"Kvothe?"

[thetelltaleeyes]

"They're just playing with you." Quietly, and a little bit of irritated.

[the_bloodless]

He nods. "I'm sure you're right."

[thetelltaleeyes]

"Me too." Firmly. A pause. "Maybe you shouldn't be in here." Too many shelves and things to play with sounds.

[the_bloodless]

"You worry too much, Bast." Though he's not really arguing the point. He's not sure he wants to be in there at the moment.

[thetelltaleeyes]

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Maybe it'd be better outside."

[the_bloodless]

"Perhaps it would." Yes Bast, you actually won without a him putting up a real fight.

[thetelltaleeyes]

--that's - actually worrying. He gives Kvothe a bit of a look and then gives his shoulder a squeeze. "Come on then."

[the_bloodless]

Kvothe does his best to ignore the look and nods, allowing Bast to take him outside. At least out there he's less likely to hear her voice again.

[thetelltaleeyes]

Bast is going to be heading that way, then, and hoping nothing untoward happens to keep them from getting there unmolested. So to speak.

[the_bloodless]

Well, speaking another way, it might take his mind off it but now probably isn't the best time. He does seem to relax when they step outside without further incident, it does feel better out there.

[thetelltaleeyes]

So does Bast, honestly - he really doesn't like the ghosts even if they haven't been bothering him that much. And he's glad to see his Reshi relax as well.

[the_bloodless]

He's silent for a bit before turning to ask Bast, "Have you heard anything familiar from these things?" He can't quite bring himself to say 'anyone' under the circumstances.

[thetelltaleeyes]

Bast shakes his head. "No. Not me."

[the_bloodless]

He nods, having kind of expected that. "I'm sure whatever it is, will be gone soon enough. Things do seem to work like that around here." Being away from it and having had a moment to collect himself, he's much more convincing, though he isn't sure he believes it.

[thetelltaleeyes]

"It had better," Bast says, with a little bit of heat.
