"What book? I like books, losing one would be so sad." She hugs her novel to her chest.

"Oh, it has lessons in.." A stop "Oh I should stop. Eiluned are supposed to KEEEP Secrets. "

"So are sluagh! But secrets are so much better when you get to show them off..."

"We could.. trade secrets? Sluagh and Eiluned BOTH do that"

"Ohhh. That sounds like a good idea."

"Shall I get my tea set?" She offers "Or will this needs be rushed?"

"I am attending a Knight, so I fear it must be rushed..."

"A pity" She sighs "Oh, is that him?"

Magnus has entered all right

"Aye. A Fiona."

The girl covers one side of her face so he can't see it and whispers "They're mostly okay but they can be tiring"

Sigh, nod.

"Ah, there you are Araignee" He says "And hello, Baronnes' He bows "You may not remember me"

"Sir Magnus?" the girl says , searching her memory

"My spiders, I had to find them."

"My fault" Echo says "I didn't know they were already accounted for"

"You have a good memory, Baroness. Have I intruded?"

"We were talking about books!"

"Yes, we were abou to trrade secrets" She smiles

"Well, may knowledge should be free?" Magnus suggests "No need to trade at all?"

Echo gives Zara a look "Do you think it's because he's a Fiona , or because he's a boy?"

A sad shake of her head. "He does not understand."

"Fine, we'll trade secrets" He kneels down.

The girl says "Well, Araignee, what secrret do you have to give for the type of book?"

"I know the way to a hidden library."

"Ooo... go on , please"

"Oh, aye - tis a small noble hold, near Paris - but you can trod it thusly..."

Zara describes the path, and drops hints on some of the rare finds to be had there.

She almost claps, but stops herself then says "The apprentice is mad because his book of naming is missinng"

Her eyes widen.

"Well, it's not his, it was the namers"

"The Naming book went missing when the Namer died... that..."

"Oh dear."

"VERY Interesting" Magnus says

"Why would Gilly want a Naming book?"

"She wouldn't be a good namer" Echo observes

"Not many people can."

"Such an art would appeal..."

"But not to everyone. But it might appeal to someone very much..."

"If not to Gilly, hhmm to whom?" Magnus says

"And would they want it enough to do terrible things?"

"I Don' know... "Echo says "The apprrentice already read it"

"Do you have more secrets to trade?" Echo asks

"Do you?"

"Oh yes. I know the names of the cat on the roof, they have THREE, and I knnow two of them" A smile

"That is very impressive."

"It is. I also know the Duchess had a vision like a month ago.. " She adds

"Ohhh..."

"Sir Magnus, would you give us a moment?"

"mmm" Magnus raises a brow "Well, out of respect o a lady's work" He does back away
