[OOC: I don't remember much of anything either, frankly.]
"Of course," Ethelgifr answered. As infatuated as she was with Professor Gudrig, it would be silly to not take advantage of the facilities she traveled leagues to visit. The Kallayadeva Library at the Pristine Fountain wasn't the largest—not after it was razed by High Lich Gruva—but it still beat the private libraries of most Sidgardian noblemen. It contained a fitting number of rare works, and most of it was accessible to any visitor. On site, of course. Ethelgifr had came for the mundane and stayed for the Professor. "There's sections that are quite exclusive, but much of it can be accessed by anyone." Hogging knowledge wasn't intuitive to the Kallayadeva's purpose, after all.
Also unintuitive was providing money to anyone who asked, even if they claimed to be acting at the directive of an awesome immortal. Or perhaps especially because of such a claim. But Gudrig seemed to be inclined to believe her and a few coins were trivial. And on the chance the young mage's words were true and an Infestation was brewing....
"I've not too many krone on me," Ethelgifr continued. It wasn't smart to carry one's fortune while traveling, after all. "I could spare a half and 10 silvers. But if you'd like to travel with me to Graycastle, I could provide a little more from the treasury there. Graycastle isn't on the most direct route to the Capital, however."
One silver would get one a night's stay at most inns, while a half-sized gold coin was worth 20 silvers and a silver 45 krone. Still, some over 1000 krone wouldn't be nearly enough to get her to the Capital. The trip would take over two months on horseback, and Elke didn't even have a horse. The half and 10 silvers would barely get her a roof to sleep under, nevermind food. And if she ran into any trouble along the way....
"We could leave midday tomorrow," said Ethelgifr. "And I do have a small escort."
