[the notecard itself consists only of a list of titles, all of them related to zephirin's studies and interests — a passionate treatise on linguistics and etymology; a critical analysis of the rise and fall of the allagan empire; an investigation of four murders in the small town of owl's nest; a biography of the famed archbishop thordan vii. all are well-written and well-researched, curated by someone with no time or taste for books that are full of wind and excessive words. a few are even related to zephirin's classwork: the book about allag, for instance, will surely be of use in mr. lexentale's history class later in the semester.
it was easy enough to make sure that it reached zephirin specifically; the tall student council candidate is one of very few students who frequent the nonfiction section. most students visit the library merely to do classwork, or otherwise, to have a quiet space to spend time with a lover. the few students that do check books out tend to gravitate towards the school's fiction and fantasy acquisitions.
zephirin is a rare exception.
no one magically pops out from behind the shelves to claim credit for the notecard, and urianger, the head librarian, is nowhere to be found. at the loans desk, however, a slender student assistant has quietly begun processing zephirin's returns, expressionlessly stamping and typing away. zephirin's account is now cleared of literary debts.]
