[50% encryption to Nilin]

We should talk. Think I may have actually found something useful for once.

[50% encryption to Skulduggery]

Maker I hate this thing. Skul, Akito and I came across something of interest. Did you go into that library?

[End encryptions]

Let's keep this simple so I don't have to play with this thing much longer. Who here visited the library on the island?

[He pauses for a moment.]

And someone tell Evandau to clear his schedule. I need to talk to him.

[akito]

[ why bother with encryption when he can just bug Hawke himself? ]

Can I go with you when you bug him?

action;

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke lifts an eyebrow and smirks.]

Just how boring is your day?

action;

[akito]

[ :T ]

My days aren't boring.

But he owes me a favour.

[raavashing]

The island? You mean when we made landfall? I don't think that was an island...

[Yes, Wan was getting wrapped up in the details.]

But I visited the library.

[Video]

[iwannabeadragon]

[Wan you're getting a look.]

Does that really matter?

[Hawke don't get derailed here.]

Did you find anything there?

[Video]

[raavashing]

[Yes.]

Yes. And I found some stories about the Great Turtle swimming the 'line of light and life'. Why?

[skeletonenigma]

[Not encrypted, because he doesn't have any idea how to do that. So it's text and he keeps it simple.]

No. What do you need to talk to Evandau about?

video;

[iwannabeadragon]

[Well crap, and all the trouble he went through to do that.]

About a little something that I found there.

[For now he's leaving Akito out of this.]

text;

[skeletonenigma]

Sounds interesting. Are you at home?

[ruinsprofessor]

In Valishaera? [Just for confirmation, she's reasonably sure what he means.] Yes, I visited the library. I take it you learned something there as well?

[She's trying to play it off, but she is amazingly curious about what other people learned.]

video;

[iwannabeadragon]

That would be the safe assumption, yes.

[ruinsprofessor]

[Just because she understands the practicality of being circumspect doesn't mean she likes it.]

I'm looking further into what I learned. Would you be interested in an exchange of information?

[alterer]

[She's just going to chinhands at him a moment. Look at her Hawke, she's so proud of you.]

You're getting decent at that.

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke won't lie. He likes seeing her look at him like that.]

I'm just a real prodigy.

[alterer]

[Dang it Hawke. Stop being cute.]

You have your moments. And, I'm free now if you want to talk.

[gathersnomoss]

I did. Why?

[iwannabeadragon]

Because it seems like everyone learned some juicy tidbits. Why not share them?

[gathersnomoss]

That could be; who do you know who found something there?

Several days later... action

[survival_isnt_living]

[Septimus has never met Hawke, so despite his tenseness after Clark's post--which is when he goes looking for the man--he actually has the courtesy to knock before walking in. (He should count himself lucky; Clark did not get a knock.)

So he knocks; when the door opens, he smiles slightly.]

I don't think we've spoken before--Septimus. We should talk.

action

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke stands in the doorway with an eyebrow raised. This isn't the first time someone introduced themselves to him like this. it probably won't be the last either.

Notch stands beside Hawke. The hound's head tilts curiously as he looks at Septimus.]

You know, every time someone says that to me it almost always ends with buckets of trouble.

[survival_isnt_living]

Done right, I expect there would be quite a lot of trouble along the way.

[He can't help it; he's faintly amused. This reaction is one he used to get from school friends all the time.]

The trick is to make it the intermediate step, not the end.

video

[unetrustworthy]

I did.

[Short, and to the point. He asked a question. She answered. Now it was her turn:]

Why do you want to know?

video

[iwannabeadragon]

You certainly don't be around the bush.

[She seems awfully serious for a kid.]

What you found there.

[Video]

[histruename]

[It isn't often Hellboy feels reckless enough to actually log onto this thing. Even less so that he responds. But this time, he's piqued his interest.]

You want to talk to that guy?

[He makes it sound like it's the dumbest thing he's ever heard.]

[Video]

[iwannabeadragon]

[Hawke casually rolls his shoulders.]

I've done dumber things.
