Aneh looked at the thick stack of books on her lap and frowned deeply. What was Ror trying to do to her, giving her all of this. He had to know how excited she was, and to put her in a stack of books? Her brows drew together as she flicked the cover of the first book open. She gave a hefty sigh and dug into the material.
Hours and Hours... and Hours Later...
Aneh flipped open a previous book, cross referencing something she had read on Podrikevs with something she had read earlier on magitek armor. She now had four books open in front of her, none of them finished. She stopped reading and laughed a bit at her own excitement. Maybe Ror did know what he was doing after all. She lowered her head and followed more lines of text, anxious to figure out if this particular passage had what she was looking for.
The next day...
Aneh looked at her mess of notes, still groggy from sleep. A yawn was forced down as she focused on the bit about materia. She remembered reading about the lifestream. It holds memories and feelings... Basically imprints of everything that had ever lived. So Materia must do the same, obviously. She mulled over this as she picked up an apple from the table. Her thoughts drifted to Ror, wondering if he was thinking what this reasearch was making her think... She picked up a book on magitek armor and began to back-track to a passage she had read earlier. She settled down with her apple and books to continue her research, ideas clicking in her head.
A day later...
Aneh wandered into the gnome's shop, eyes wandering around at all the silly mechanisms she saw there. This was going to be the most entertaining conversation.... She felt instantly cheerful as the gnomish toy maker greeted her with his spiked hair and angled features. He was so short. Aneh grinned in greeting and leaned against the counter, and tossing the gnome a flirtatious wink.
'I just know that you can help me...'
Finally...
Aneh woke in the morning, excitement filling her. It was so hard to keep things from him, but she wanted to deliver her findings all at once, and see what he thought. She rushed downstairs and pulled out her notes, ainstantly re-reading the report she was to make to Ror.
