Nariko raised a brow at him while simultaneously leaning back into Roland's hold. That moment between he and Cuthbert, no matter how short, was important and she'd had no desire to get in the way of it. But if she was allowed to remain at her husband's side then, well, why pass up the opportunity? "Oh, don't look at me, I have no idea what's going on there. As I said, that book's gone through multiple leaders, it's rare that a man has ever held it but not entirely unheard of. I'm far more interested in why it didn't do exactly as Alain wanted since it was already going through the trouble of listening at all. Maybe he meant to only send the both of you, but it's possible that it never planned on doing just that. As long as it isn't making him ill or talking to him then everything should be fine."
"Because books obviously talk." Kaine's tone was utterly deadpan, but Nariko only shrugged while debating her food.
"This one does. Not very often, thankfully, but how else do you think I came up with that plan? It's not as if I just opened the thing and knew how to deal with Claude, or that I immediately knew which spells to use when it came time to dealing with Farson or my mother. I spoke my goals, it gave me a logical plan of attack."
Kaine glanced over at Bert while Nariko gave up on eating anymore. The youngest of their party rolled her eyes, "… You know, a talking book is hardly the weirdest part of it all so maybe it isn't that bad."
