OBSERVATION

The holding chamber—or jail, as Quinn had come to think of it—had undergone several changes since the last time she’d seen it.

Where, before, it reminded her of those interrogation or questioning chambers they had in every single procedural drama she’d ever laid eyes on in her life, this one was now quite different.

As she looked through the glass window she could see each side of the room had a bed, and basically a small living area for each of the prisoners. Guests. Whatever they were. Both Tenejo and Narajo were in their respective spaces but didn’t seem to understand that the other was just feet from them. As if they were sequestered in their own little worlds.

If she reached out tentatively toward them with her heightened Librarian senses, she could see the space felt like it was separated. Must be a part of what the guardians and Milaro did in preparation.

She watched through the now-expanded antechamber that had explicitly been set up for viewing. It, too, was larger, with several seats for observing from, as well as a desk and, from what she could tell, monitoring crystals.

“Are those what they look like?” she asked.

Milaro glanced at the crystals. “If you think they’re recording every movement and action of the people we’re holding—then yes?”

“Oh good. Yep. That’s what I thought.” Quinn frowned as she looked back through the one way window into the cells . . . the cells that really didn’t seem to be keeping prisoners, even if the Serpensiril within didn’t quite appear to be guests either. She moved closer, focusing on the bed Tenejo had. It didn’t actually look like a bed but more like a nest on a different-colored stone floor than the rest of the room. “Is that . . . a nest?” she asked, her voice belaying her surprise.

Milaro nodded, his eyes focused and yet not as he stared through the observation window.

“Yes that we have them staying in nests?” she asked again, not entirely sure how to take that.

The elf king blinked and turned to Quinn. “Serpensiril are cold blooded. Their habitats are generally cave-like and dug down to get the warmth from the earth. They bring in any type of material that allows them to absorb and maintain that heat and thus keeps their body temperatures even. So in order to make sure they’re comfortable, the guardians provided heated stones because, well. In here, we don’t have earth for them to burrow into. Not all of them are like Kajaro, who had or has, enough magic to keep himself the perfect temperature no matter where he goes.”

Quinn mulled that information over. After synchronizing properly with the Library, she assumed she’d have so much more information available to her. That she might actually know everything. But that apparently wasn’t the case. All it gave her was this blood-and-bone-deep connection, where she could feel everything in it, around it, and connected to it.

Okay, that was a pretty awesome “all.”

And something told her that when she
