Irene answered, equally quietly. “After all, what can she blackmail us
U .. Said. It
“to establish a pattern of thefts in order to conceal a single one.
Irene was conscious that she’d probably gone pale, but she was too busy trying not to shake with sheer terror to spend much time bothering about it.
Lol girl too late u r totally worried about not looking like a badass
Male,
I think you would have already grokked the gender
Something about the rhythm of it was vaguely familiar, as though she’d heard someone else speak in the same way.
“Though it’s not airtight—or watertight. A logical paradox which I’m afraid
U sly dog
“The river,” Kai said, barely audibly, and the same knowledge was in Vale’s eyes.
Irene is basically a pov robot
It’s malice, pure and simple.
“What one man can do, another can undo.”
Perhaps it was only the dim light that made Irene think that he was trying to position himself as far away from her as possible.
Sure
identifiable.
Info dump in an action scene!
salmon, mussels, crab, soup, little prawns in sauce)
All sea food
Kai was a dragon. What the hell was she supposed to do about that?
He's The Kohaku river!!!! Irene is Chihiro!
She didn’t like commitments to other people.
Shh that's normal for a serial protagonist
This spirit was as polluted as the water itself,
Pul the gunk out
way, I know what you are, and it doesn’t matter.” “You think very highly of yourself,” Kai answered, equally quietly, but far more deadly, “if you believe that it doesn’t matter.”
“if you believe that it doesn’t matter.”
She could be aggravated by something simple,
She does seem to concentrate kn her mental state in tough situations tobavoid action
appreciate that explanation,
Acttion or infodump
With a virtuous feeling of self-sacrifice,
On point
Not that she wanted him to give her that sort of attention, anyhow
Lol sure jan
or, failing all else, lie about it.
U make A kinda sucky undercover agent
Kai sipped his own tea (no milk, no sugar, black and brooding)
Is that how she likes em lol
Why should you be looking for Grimms’ Fairy Tales? Why not the latest scientific advances?”
Because The author knows zip about science
their physical laws are the same.
you could import the discoveries from other worlds!
Yeah that's a good point
It would probably be written off as a fake in short order.
Not if it's tested in an actual lab
What would be the dangers facing a person attempting to introduce entirely new scientific knowledge to this world?
The exact same dangers that face every inventor evrr
because we love books. None of us wanted to save worlds.
I'd Argue neither. There's Been a ton of hijinks and very few books so far
She’d spent all her life with the idea. But the words had never sounded hollow to her before.
Cult
“So why did Alberich leave?”
Oooh i have an idea. He was sick of ur shit
Irene reminded herself bitterly not to underestimate Vale again.
She is so passive
She’d been planning to side-step this part as much as possible, given Vale’s apparent dislike of magic.
Why ? it would convince him to dislike al mire at least
For example, dragons are lawful forces and the Fae support chaos. Fact versus fiction, if you like.”
Yeah dragons are so logical and mundane while fairies are just weird. Duh thats just like the rules
chaos itself?”
Is this world anti chaos? It sounds like he buys into her binary by default
I need to know who has it.
Doesn't Brad have it
If Silver or Alberich already had it, they wouldn’t be looking for it.
Whaaaa u mean they don't look for things they already have?? Next you'll tell me they found it in the last place they looked
Perhaps he wanted to bring her to justice as well. Or perhaps he simply wanted to visit the Library.
Yes plz do nothing to addressthe conflict
a little reluctantly.
Literally No one made u say that
She knew that it was inappropriate for her to show weakness,
Did she come up with that rle on her own? Wish we got to see some of her actual training
avoided it.
So just say you're sure. Gah why do you keep doing things you doknt want to do
Irene had been trying to avoid thinking about
I too prefer not to think about who is trying to kill me
She frowned, her mind sensing something important.
I almost feeel like the mind it trying vto break free lol
“Hardly my Alberich,” Irene snapped.
You see she's spunky about correcting word choice that meansz she can't be a passive character
emerging from his moody self-absorption.
Wut
and Bradamant doesn’t have the book,
Bradamant certainly wouldn’t approve of what she was about to say. And her mentor, Coppelia, would undoubtedly have forbidden her to voice her suspicions.
So WHY
“Sometimes information about the Library gets out,” she said slowly. “Not just in conversations like this.
Lol almost self aware but not quite
“And often when this does happen, this information ends up being recorded in works of—well, fiction.”
And that's how new worlds get created?
They simply hadn’t had a chance since the river incident.
I know because i was there
