Star doesnt pay a lot of attention to the woman Keon is speaking with. Her eyes are on the book he has brought to the tavern. She reaches out and scoots the book across the table, her hands gently feeling the worn leather. It has a musty, old smell, making Star smile. She tentatively opens the book and scans the table of contents. Turing to the page she wants she begins to read.
When the woman leaves Erik and Keon both turn their attention to Star. She looks up as she turns a page, “What?”
Keon smiles, “Can ye read that, Star? Does it make sense to you?”
“Of course it mm..make sense to me. Why wouldnt it?” Star returns to the book, her bowed head hiding her grin. Does he think I am stupid? Of course I can read....
Erik glances over Stars shoulder at the book and can make no sense of the marks on the page. Not only is it in a different language but it appears to be written using a different alphabet.
He looks up at Keon, surprise in his eyes and wondering if Keon set her up. "Is this a trick? That's not written in English, nor in any kind of Runic I recognize. Did you bring it here just to see if she could read it?"
What the hell??....
