8th ❄ [video]

[persical]

[Claire is peering at the Vine outside the library, looking decidedly confused.]

Something a little strange just happened--yes, I know everything here is strange, but...those creatures in the library. Bears, yes? There's a section of it they're guarding, and they wouldn't let me through before. But today they stood aside...

[she turns a little red here.] I don't understand the purpose of those kinds of books. I'm not really sure they teach you anything. But that's not the point--I'm not sure what changed to make the let me by.

[the truth is, her eighteenth birthday has come and gone recently, but she hasn't exactly been tracking time correctly since her first kidnapping, let alone her second.]

If anyone has any ideas--I'd appreciate it.

Well, it's not really the sort of education I was looking for. But what do you mean, not correct?

They tend to pay more attention to what appeals to the author than to what's feasible in reality.

Well, it does seem that people would write something they prefer. Maybe it's best to think of it like a fairy tale, since it's enjoyable even though you know it's not real--

[she covers her mouth when she laughs.]

Oh--I'm sorry. That doesn't really work in this case, does it. Here I am saying such odd things...

No, no, I think you're quite correct. One can enjoy them as fantasies as long as one doesn't use them to form any expectations about what the, er, real thing will be like.
