Truman:"They're here for the False Chanterelle. They're next door now, at the pub. It's only a matter of time until they find this room."
Braddock sighs and does his best to usher everyone into the room. "All right then--no time to dawdle!" He gives you a look, like you've both been through this scores of times before, and it's always come out all right, hasn't it?
"You need to focus now, son. Focus on what's at stake here, and--" He pats Truman's arm and says no more.
Sovereign:Sovereign stared at the trio as they passed by her, then continued on to the rafter room. Upon seeing the people gathered there, she asks "How much longer before it starts?"
Braddock shakes his head, and gestures to the already glowing painting upon the wall. "Not long now. How's that for inopportune timing?" He seems surprised at the magic of it. "I always wondered about it, if it was that they all said it was. And now you'll know first-hand."
Aaron:"I-I can't allow them to harm the Library!" he blurts out, panicking at the thought. "What happens if they find this room?" He pauses a breath. "What happens if they do not?"
Braddock positions himself between the door and Aaron. "No, son, you can't go out there now! If no one's caught on to your presence here before, I'm sure they'll spot you now if they come back."
He pauses, showing a rare nervous twinge. "They...they won't find this room. Lady Reed and I will see to that. And if they do? I'm going to secure the painting in your secret tunnel." He tries to act reassuring. "Secret-upon-secret! They won't even
think of that, will they?" He pats your fuzzy cheek.
Yoshiko:"Pipe down y'all. Whassat Truman? Th'recognised Sovereign thu 'th front door? S'only means th'seen one of us enter a library. All w'gotta do's 'ide all evidence and disappear b'fore showin' em th'room!"
Braddock nods. "Yes--don't worry Miss Yoshiko. I'll make sure once you disappear, there's not a trace to be found," he notes, and goes over to reopen Aaron's secret tunnel.
Luis:You see
Lady Reed in the distance, walking with purpose, having left her pushcart behind, heading to the reception area. She glances over towards you as she walks, but seems too busy to come over for another lecture.
Seth:Lady Reed appears at her desk, rummaging for her keys, and spots you over in the Explorers Log section. "I'm closing up shortly," she calls out. "If you see something you like, take it with you. We'll settle up later..."
