Nariko hadn't spoken a word, and neither had Kaine (she was, in fact, staring at the book with an accusing and unsettlingly sort of expression). Even if they had neither would be able to imitate the low, deadpan voice that had responded. Through what could only be magic the book rose up into the air, making itself face level with Alain, but it's dour-faced cover remained unmoving and its voice continued to appear out of thin air.
"Unless there has been some gross error in translation - unlikely for a being that knows all language - in the event of the current matara's death," Here, Nariko raised her hand easily, as she hadn't exactly discussed her own title very much. "I was to protect and minimally serve the individual of Roland Deschain's ka-tet that would be most effective at putting, at highest, mid-grade spells to use. The Touch was most present in Alain Johns, son of Christopher Johns. In the event of his death, Cuthbert Allgood, son of Robert Allgood was to follow. These instructions were given with the explicit intent to aid one Roland Deschain in his ka-given quest." With that little chunk of information expunged the tome invaded Alain's space and gave the distinct feeling that it was trying to peer at him very closely.
"My eyesight certainly isn't what it used to be," There was a tiny inflection there, as if the words were meant to be amusing. "But I do believe that is you, young man."
