Jelequi smiled at me. I smiled back, saying "lead the way." Jelequi pulled me through the library, between the tall bookshelves that were all the way up to the high ceiling.

"So many books that I haven't read," I said wonderingly.

Jelequi smiled, looking at the books at eye level, "this is the history section! I've read a lot of books in this area."

I wrinkled my nose, "I will avoid history if i can" I replied. "I love fantasy though."

"I love history books, as well as books about legends!

Well, I think there is a fantasy section if you want.

 We could also ask about books written by dragons if you are curious about it." Jelequi said.

"I read books by dragons all the time. I want to know about elvin fantasy."

"Alright! I'll bring to the fantasy section!" Jelequi said, grabbing my hand.

She pulled me farther into the library, into another few rows of bookshelves.

Jelequi looked at the spine of one of the closest books, "I think this is fantasy!"

"cool!" I said. "Also, I should probably mention the revelations I may or may not have discovered..." I said.

Jelequi turned to look at me, "Well, what did you discover?"

"i kind of discovered that this old guy found the place of sky where the key is found but he hid it, but somehow he figured out that the six sources have physical places you can visit so i kinda found the sky source and she gave me the clue to get thee and i have them in my pocket because i just remembered they existed..." I said with a sheepish look on my face.

 "Who was the author of that book that gave you that info? Did he write any others?" Jelequi asked.

"A dragon called professor goldsky. I checked and there were no other books by him in our library, but it seemed as if he was the type of author to write multiple books."

"Maybe if he did write others, they got lost, brought to a different library or stolen?" Jelequi suggested. "That's what worries me." I said.

 "What if someone didn't want them to be found?"

"I don't know... Hopefully we can find it?" Jelequi said.

"Hopefully... I really wish I could show you my home" I said wistfully. Jelequi seemed slightly nervous when I mentioned that, "maybe one day..?"

Why is she nervous? This visit is the opposite of what I needed.

I thought I would be less insecure by the end of this visit.

I have never even felt insecure before! What am I thinking?

"Of course. You just always seem so busy."

 "I have a shop to run, so I can't leave it for more than a day..." she said "I know." I said. "But one day. I promise." Jelequi smiled nervously, "well, would you like to get some books? There are plenty of fantasy books here!"

 "really?" I said, lighting up.

 "Absolutely!" she said. "I just need to find one that I like." I said.

Jelequi looked around at the spines of the books.

The bookshelves were very tall, and they had a rolling ladder by it to get up.

Jelequi was just looking at the books at eye level and below.

"I guess it would be inappropriate to turn into a half dragon and fly up to look at the books?" I asked. "I think it would be fine. I don't think Sir will care, plus the fantasy isn't a very popular section, just since it is out in the back." Jelequi replied.
