The impromptu tour naturally takes you to the closest interesting looking place around, that being the double doors with a plaque beside reading ‘Domingo’s Reading Room’ with an inscription below ‘To educate the youth to be more like you - Petain Arc, your brother’.
“Any idea what that’s about?” you ask Coco.
“I know Arc was a big huntsman name in the past. They fought in the great war, the faunus revolution and the assault of the Grimmlands.”
“Yeah, but who is Domingo?”
“That… I’m not sure.”
“Arc probably felt guilty,” Octavia inserts herself in the discussion. “Like every Valean, he made a half-ass apology to all they did to Vacuo. Oh, we let all the kingdoms drain your resources then came running for an alliance when those same assholes wanted our stuff, and yet you still helped and won the war? Here’s a library.”
“Vacuo didn’t win the war, it was King Ozymandias’ clever strategies.”
“Strategies which would have never worked anywhere other than in the desert, almost like he planned to put the bloody battle in some other field. Who cares about those dirty Vacuans!”
“Hey look.” Fox kicks open the doors. “The library, let’s talk about that and nothing more, ‘kay?”
“Some people are trying to study here, thank you!” You recognize that posh voice.
Narci sits with her nose buried in a book. Emerald sits at the same table, also with a book and taking notes. “Hey there’s Picaro,” she says without even looking.
Narci looks to the entrance and, to Emerald’s surprise, her attempt at subtly getting rid of Narci turns out to be true.
Narci rapidly runs in front of you and does a rough estimation to a military salute. “Sir!”
Fox notices an opportunity. “Drop and give me fifty!”
“Bu-”
“Now cadet!”
Narci whines and begins to go low, but you stop her. “You don’t have to do that. How have you been?”
“How have YOU been? You collapsed a few hours ago! Are you hydrating yourself? Remember to not eat too much! And-”
“Hey, hey, I’m fine. I uncollapsed myself.” You tell a joke to prevent a spiral. No one laughs.
At least Narci got distracted and brought back to reality. “I’ve been reading up on the effects of sun exposure and I developed this!” She pulls out a crystal bottle with a crude drawing of someone badly sunburned getting something applied to them. “The Narci Pink’s Miraculous SunBurn Healer may contain Aloe Vera!”
“Why would it be bad if it had-” You get interrupted by the bottle being thrown at your hands.
“Apply that in your whole body and watch the pain disappear!”
“But I’m not sunbu-”
“I call dibs!” Octavia snatches the bottle from you.
“You slut! You barely even know Piqui for a few hours and you wanna rub his w-whole body!” Coco is blushing severely. “I-I-I mean, if anyone HAS to rub cream on him, it should be me of course!”
