Dewey nods sleepily.
“For future all night trips like this I should probably get some sleep in the evening beforehand. It shouldn’t be too difficult to slip out close to midnight, after a long day of working my parents aren’t the most attentive. In any case good... morning I guess.”

You walk in just in time to notice the library door closing. The large bird is standing on the foyer balcony looking down towards the fleeing, unwanted guest. She - he? - turns to you as you enter. "Hm. Another visitor? Another, another... And less irritating, more welcome. Hello."

“Good evening. There’s been an... incident recently, and I was hoping you may have heard of something like this happen before. Some sort of...”
Dewey takes out his journal and turns to the notes he took while speaking with Tai
“...Shelled leech creature? It drained a large amount of wind Aether from one of the labyrinths, then escaped into my world through a portal. The team that fought it claims they were able to maintain their forms from this world while fighting it, and upon its death it burst apart into a huge windstorm that nearly leveled the city. We think it and other creatures like it might be what Mercia is trying to stop, but other than what I’ve told you and that it’s resistant to Aether-based weaponry there’s not much we know about it.”

"Vagus? Vagus. Yes, Vagus. Strange, very strange. Appear sometimes. Going into your world? New. Strange, strange..." The big bird pauses to preen a few feathers. "Aether flowing into your world... not strange. Strong enough to support multiple soul keys...? Strange, strange, very strong, very strange, yes."

“Vagus...”
Dewey writes the name down in his notebook.
“So is there anything else you can tell me about them? Where they come from, any weaknesses?”

"Weakness? No. No. Just hit them. Hard, very hard." Hinoh pauses and thinks. "Come from? Don't know. Appeared decades ago. Before I was born. People fought them. Now, stalemate."

“Hmm...”
It occurred to Dewey that he wasn’t even sure what else to ask. Well, when in doubt...
“I don’t suppose you have any books about them I could take a look at, do you?”

"Mm. Vagus? Book? No. Scratch notes, yes, scratch. Drawings, sketches, data, rough impressions. Very rough. Book, not finished. Notes, can lend you. Copy, copy, copy, yes, copy. Tomorrow." The bird nods again. His chest puffs up with pride. "Book about heroes, just finished. Days ago, yes."
Mareena comes out of the upper library door holding a large-but-thin tome. "You finally finished it! I'll be borrowing this."
"...Nevermind," the bird says as he deflates.

(It’s been a month, I definitely need to post something. Should probably also make a post in Vitquest and Oz in the morning...)
As Dewey finds a new reason to dislike Mareena, he considers Hinoh’s offer to make a copy of their notes.
“That’d be great, although I’ll be busy tomorrow night. Could I come by the night after to pick it up?”

"Hm. Unnecessary. Send to your world, yes, send. Easy," Hinoh assure you.
Mareena hurdles the railing and drops down to your level.
Hinoh poofs back up, glaring at her. He crouches down and takes a few steps forward.
"Whoa, easy," she says. "You know I'll bring it back." Mareena subtly moves to put you between herself and Hinoh.

Dewey glares annoyedly at Mareena using him as a human shield, then lets out a resigned sigh.
“And on that note, I guess I’ll be going home to get some sleep now. You two can sort this out on your own.”
Dewey walks around Mareena and back through the portal, heading home and going to bed.

You make your way out of the mansion with Mareena sticking close you as you try to maneuver past her. She leaps through the portal ahead of you. When you pass through yourself, you find her hugging the book to herself, giggling quietly. "Finally, after all this time... Tha-a-a-a-a-anks for the help, my darling distraction. Maybe I'll give you a discount next time you come in. Maybe." Mareena skips off into the night.
