I see... Then they had these publicly available where you're from?

[pura]

[She nods.]

Right. Anyone could visit. Is that not the case where you're from?

[allomantic]

[she shakes her head.]

Only noble families would have libraries, and they were kept private.

[pura]

[... She scoffs, lightly.]

How pretentious.

[allomantic]

[she shrugs. in a kind of "what can you do" tone:]

They typically aren't concerned with other people. There are exceptions, but not enough to change the way things work.

[pura]

Sounds like they deserve whatever revolution may come their way, then.

[allomantic]

It's not as though I don't think they should have those things... Or, I guess, it doesn't really matter to me what they have.

[just what other people don't have.]

[pura]

They can have things. But isn't it an issue if they're hoarding important stuff all for themselves?

[allomantic]

I would not say books are that important.

[her goth / jock energy...]

[pura]

[Her goth/jock energy...! Nogiku frowns, but shrugs.]

Pretty easy way to deny someone education and keep them under your thumb, though.

[allomantic]

[shrugging in turn.]

There are things I worry about more than education. [but that's a bummer topic, so, subject change.] Did you come here seeking something specific?

[pura]

[that's fair. nogiku frowns at the topic change, but otherwise doesn't comment on it.]

Medical textbooks. But, I was also curious to learn what we have in general.

[allomantic]

Ah... I can see how that would be useful.

[the hope is always that they won't need something like that here, but, well.]

[pura]

Ideally, it's unnecessary. However...

[none trust!!]

[allomantic]

I worry that however may be the keyword here, yes.

[pura]

It was necessary once. So it's likely to be necessary again.

[allomantic]

Yes. Especially given the way things continue to escalate.

[pura]

Yes... Especially so.
