[Part of being an adventurer is following rumors, and although Aurora's adventuring days are for the most part over, today she's putting that skill to the test. A recent escort mission into a dungeon landed her a rare copy of a very old book found in the depths of the hold. It isn't something that really interested her personally, but her boyfriend, Ringabel, is a scholar by trade and book lover. It seems like the perfect gift for him!

The only problem was...well it's totally falling apart. Luckily most of the pages seem to be there, but she had to wrap it up in a cloth to prevent anything else happening to it. The spine was totally busted and the cover destroyed with water damage. Maybe there was no hope for the poor thing, but she wanted to try anyway.

The rumors bring Aurora to The Quicksand, where she keeps her eyes peeled for her target. Luckily the miqo'te with green hair stands out, and she waddles over to him with a smile.]


Pardon me, but are you perchance the "Book Doctor?"

[And indeed, he was at The Quicksand. Matthias' ears flicked at the name, and he hurriedly finished the food he'd had in his mouth, washing it down with tea as he nodded.]

Er, yes, my apologies. Yes, I am often referred to as the Book Doctor. My name is Matthias, my actual title is bookbinder. [He laughed softly, standing to bow in introduction.] I presume you have a book you would like me to mend?

Matthias... a pleasure to meet you! I am Aurora.

[Aurora has to reach up to slide the book over to him and then takes the nearest seat at his table. She tries to flag down a server once she's settled.]

I found it on my last escort mission. Not sure if it's slavable but if it is I would like to give it as a gift to my partner.

[He took the book gingerly, pushing his food and drink aside to get a better look at the damaged tome. He didn't answer right away as he was eager to see just what could be done first. He opened the cloth to reveal the waterlogged cover and damaged spine. He made a soft sound, carefully opening the book to also check the pages.

Thankfully, none seemed too worse for wear. Some were clearly waterlogged as well but have seemingly dried in that crinkly fashion. There were ways to get around that, but the most concerning was the busted spine. Still, it didn't look hopeless. The cover would need to be replaced, rather than repaired, and the book rebound to create a new spine. A far more damaged book than he was used to, but not impossible.]


I believe this is salvageable, yes. [He gave her a smile.] It may take some time, however. Would there be a specific time this needs to be done? I will need a closer look before I am able to provide a suitable timetable, but if there is a deadline, I would need to know.

[Her face immediately lights up at the news, and Aurora can't help but let out a little cheer!]

How wonderful! I'm very excited to hear that; thank you! There is no real deadline for this. I just want it to be a surprise for him.

[She smiles up at the server who finally comes to them and orders a round for them both. Time to celebrate!]

[He gives her a nod and a smile.]

Of course. I will surely do my best, then.

[He wasn't much of a drinker, but he wouldn't stop a happy woman from celebrating.]

[When the drinks arrive, she helps herself to a big gulp of ale. It tastes even better after a hard day's work.]

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get into book repairs?
