[ has someone explained tv to him. who knows. he nods though ]
Mm. Books can actually be pretty hard to come by. There's really only one big library like this in Orsterra - otherwise, books come from merchants who happen to pass into towns here and there. A lot of people don't actually know how to read, either...
[ (zia voice) rondo is literate? ]
But - I was really lucky, and grew up around books. So I really like to. [ hehe. ] The first time I went to the Royal Library, I thought I might faint, I was so excited!
[ hypothetically.... they could have a printing press........ do they? who knows ]
They are, to me. I like learning - and before I became a knight, I used to read stories about knighthood and chivalry all the time. Gallant adventurers, brave heroes... things like that. Plus, my sister loves them! So, once I was old enough, I would read to her at night before bed with our parents or Heathcote.
