Jez appears to be ignoring Jac and Mira, so... Jac shrugs and looks at Mira, "She's a big girl, I'm sure we can leave her to her own devices." With that the pair enter the library and leave Jezebel Lysia David on her own. Inside the library the pair look around. There is a lobby here where books, or media, could be checked out or returned using what appears to be an automated system. There are several terminals along two of the walls with the sign, "Catalogs" above them. There is also an opening at the end of the lobby leading into what appears to be the actual stacks where the books, and other media, are stored. Jac whispers, "Mira, why don't you ask the librarian over there about that book Arvitis wants?" He nods toward the restrooms off to the side and says quietly, "I have to excuse myself for a minute." Mira sees the librarian that Jac meant, an older woman seated behind a wooden counter. She hasn't looked up from the terminal where she is studying something intently. There are two placards on the counter next to where she is sitting. One says, "Quiet please" and the other says, "Ask for help here." Eris AKU GM
