Allan followed the man into yet another interior room and he had to stop and take it all in. Not one was it goregeos, and all the books, but there were weaves of the power flowing through the room. Allan never thought about how the power could be used for such a simple task. He'd been taught to be a weapon, the simple things were not taught except to move on to bigger things once control was formed. They were stepping stones.
The books linking the walls drew his eye. They were immaculately arranged, and he missed the Ascendancy's nod towards the bar. Though it was the first thing he had seen when he walked in. "I shouldn't have a drink. Been sober since I got here, wouldn't want to ruin the track record." Surely the man knew his past. And right now was not the time to fall down the deep dark pit of despair drink lead him down. He didn't need to mourn. He wanted to learn. To have good conversation. To follow the man's footsteps in front of him. His aspirations were changing. He didn't want to rule the world, but to have that power, and that knowledge -- a long life. A lonely life. "All this space, it must get lonely." Allan spoke without thinking as his eyes roamed the spines of the books.
The safe held a book... was this book dangerous? Allan's eyes fell on the man's back and he wondered what exactly they were about to share.
