I didn't have much other choice. It's not as though I had anyone to help me, and I wouldn't have gotten far on charity anyway. I used the skills I had to make a way for myself.

[And now, at last, she reaches into her bag, producing the promised textbook on curses, which she sets on the table and pushes toward him.]

Kaveh calls me a hero for it. What do you think?

[justscribing]

[Alhaitham slides the book closer, reviewing its cover and then cracking it open to the title page.

Then he closes it once again and returns his attention to Ghost.] I think you're a contributing member of society like anyone else.

[badfeyth]

He affords me lofty accolades, you make me sound unfathomably boring. Here's hoping I actually land somewhere in the healthy medium.

[She shakes her coffee cup, eyeing the bottom; the lack of weight and slosh to it suggests she's nearly drained it.]

When can I expect my book back?

[justscribing]

[Alhaitham and Kaveh will certainly be arguing if she's one or the other over the kitchen table.

He tilts the book, considering how thick it is.] I'd like a few weeks so that I can transcribe it.

[He could read and transcribe it in a much shorter period of time but... well, he doesn't want to spend all day doing it. He has other things to do.]

[badfeyth]

With proper credit and attribution given, I presume.

[Intellectual property!]

That should be fine, though. It's not as though I've encountered a whole lot of curses to break around here, to begin with. ...Well, except for the tea that induces deathly sleep, but if a kiss isn't everyone's first attempt when faced with a situation like that, I really don't know what we're all doing with ourselves.

I intend to copy the title page if that's what you mean. [It's not like his sharing his copy with anyone except Kaveh, and that's only if Kaveh cares to.

Though, that next statement gets the rise of his brow.] The seeds are the typical cure to anything the tea does. What made a kiss your first solution?
