"I wonder what we should bring to trade. What kind of good would a faun care for?" Nessa wonders aloud, clearly posing it as a question for Vivian.

"You, dear, may borrow this. I'm afraid the author's name is lost, but it is a history of the faeries in our world. The answer to your question might lie within. Please return it when you are done with it."
The title is on the cover is in flowing script: Of the Fae and Their Secret Ways
Inside, the pages are hand-written and accompanied by marginalia capturing later notes from -- the author? Other readers? It is illustrated throughout, as well, and quite beautifully.

"Thank you. And if not perhaps we can ask the two hiding in your pond, though they’re just as like to lead us astray."
Gann leans over, craning to try and get a better look at the book.
"Oh I noticed something glinting in your pond, probably something the faerie convinced someone to part with. Do you mind if we go fishing for it before we go? Might be a weapon or something useful to us, given how they tried to trick ourselves."

OOC:
Does someone else mind carrying this tap? I’m short on space?Also who ended up taking the glowy orb we got from Ingrid? I figured Wren the most likely recipient.

Nessa carefully examines the book, she slowly turns some pages while taking the utmost care not to damage the tome. "What a wonderful book, really..." She mumbles, instantly absorbed in its contents. She continues to flip through a few more pages, then she starts to read... something. Her initial question has already slipped her mind.

OOC:
Ingrid gave the glowing gem to Wren, yes, so she has it.

Sable gives three gentle taps to the back of Kitt's head and he dutifully jumps off of the man's lap.
Sable then gets up and tries to stretch out his back as much as he can, which isn't much with the short roof and crowded space.
"Well, thank you Vivian for all of your advice and the loaning of tools. As my nephew requests, perhaps we can check the pond before we leave? Since we are doing so much for the people of Brandonsford, is there a favor you would like in return as well?"

OOC:
Sable is full up as well unless someone else wants to hold the big bag of silver from Warwick the Blacksmith and then Sable can take the tap for the sap instead. :P

"Oh, those bad nixies! You're welcome to whatever you can find in that pond, and don't let them say otherwise! I don't imagine there's much more in there than rusted scraps, but you're welcome to them!"

"Wait we are going already? Mhe... fine... " Nessa grumbles. She is about to add the book to her pack when she pauses to look at it again.
"I feel a bit bad just borrowing something like this." She says, kind of sheepishly. "Especially since there is no guarantee that we will be able to return it intact. Maybe even we will not return at all. You never know."
She produces a small book and hands it to Vivian. It is crudely bound in leather and cheaply made, the paper quality is questionable. It also looks like it has spent a lot of time being tumbled around in a backpack. "Please accept this as collateral. It's a bunch of stories I wrote down over the years. I don't even know why, I know them all by heart anyways. Guess you could call it a hobby. But maybe you will find them interesting. If you can get past my handwriting that is."
She continues a after a short pause: "Also if we really do not return, I would feel a bit better leaving it with you, I guess..."
