hey, envoy. what's this about a burned book? and why did you hide it? and why do you want to forget?

i'm sure somebody's already posted these conversation options, but this was the first time i've told the giftbearer i wanted to get rid of a memory and got blindsided by this. what a fun little callback and bit of roleplaying.

"I NEED SOMETHING TRANSLATED. YOU CAN READ THIS, RIGHT?"

"You looked fermilar.... can't place my fingers on it" (who send this tiny angry, loud man???)

"But yes, I can translate. It looks like it's in illager. However, my service isn't free. You can either pay up in trade or with labor work." (Like I do hiring skeleton gaurds)

read me like a book.

fun fact: these pages are from a book called "how to love a woman" which i found in a pile of similar books while cleaning out my grandpas cabin after he died!

Story of a Narrow Escape: Sometimes a book will tell a story quite unlike the one its writers intended. This humble catalog is a case in point. To read the title, one would assume that it is nothing more than a list of a publisher's foreign language titles, cicra 1928. But look closely: Notice the edges of the pages; notice the discoloration on the cover, save for an unmarred rectangle. This book survived a fire. It was most likely in a stack of books at the time; a smaller book on top protected most of the cover from the smoke and heat. The underside of the book has the distinctive discoloration brought about by contact with water, presumably from the moment when the fire was extinguished. I've no way of knowing when this fire occurred, but even now, the book smells faintly of smoke. Some collectors might insist that this damage makes the book worthless; but to me, these scars give the book character that it would not otherwise have.
