Well--

[Salvio looks back at the Compendium. Upon its pages, a sketch of a tower is flying by, lines whipping up a structure of a size that would be staggering to behold in reality. Pointed spires at the top, like a crown. A moonlit night--and then it is gone, fading away, replaced by a jumble of letters. He runs a thumb along the bottom of the page, reverently.]

Yes. I will admit to-- curiosity. It is a marvel, if nothing else. To learn more of it--well, that would be significant. For the Inquisition. Deeply significant.

[ She honestly can't think of another person who would look down at a book this way, not to mention the way he's practically fondling the page. He's exactly the right person to have control of it. ]

It's gotta be important if it's all in code, yeah. Will you let me know what you find out, if the scouts take a look 'n at?

[assistente]

Of course. Yes. I will tell you first. [Uh.] As a fellow-- member, of this. Of the Inquisition. And Base Operations.

[Yeah, there we go.]

And you, um. You will take one of the books? To, to experiment with?

[zombra]

Thanks.

[ Wow, first? That perks her up a bit. ]

Yeah, totally. I'll send you really bad doodles of me doing my job as a status update. Little Tessa sweeping. Little Tessa taking inventory. It'll be so impressive.
