If there is one thing that has not changed during the manticore’s time in Tartarus, it is the fact that knowledge is still written into books to be passed along. There is much she’s missing that she needs to learn, and quickly, if Leyha is to survive in this world once again. There’s a library in the city, that much she has gathered in the ineptitude of the responses from humans she questioned. And with a bit of searching, she manages to find her way to the massive building. But whatever she intends to seek out inside is abruptly tossed away, at the sight of the person behind the counter. “Gabriel.” The name comes out both excited and accusatory, as she marches her way over to the incubus. “Is this where you retreated to? When you skipped free of your cage and left the rest of us to rot?” There is a chiding to her tone, a challenging raise to her brow, but even so, Leyha cannot deny being happy to see an old friend.
