A man with flame-red hair sits in a window of the library, staring outside thoughtfully, a book nearly forgotten in his lap. Long fingers rest atop the page, perfectly still, not so much as ruffling the pages to break the deep silence of the room. It's a waiting sort of silence, part of his mind wonders if he ought to seek Bast out or wait for

Bast is walking through the Mansion, wondering if he should be worried yet that he hasn't found his Reshi. However, the sound of a book closing and a certain - well, just a feeling - he heads toward the door of a room and pokes his head around the door. Seeing Kvothe back to normal, he looks greatly relieved and goes the rest of the way into the room. "Hello, Reshi."

"Hello, Bast." He turns toward him with a smile. It's not the brightest smile he's given, and there's little if any spark in his eyes, but in all he doesn't really look any worse than average back at the Waystone. "I'm sorry if I've worried you," he adds, noticing the relief.

"Strange things happen here, sometimes," he says. "It's nothing to be concerned about."
