"That said, I am curious about this place. So neatly maintained, even through these ages." That was no empty praise - along this corridorlike room, there are regular niches in the rocky walls - and each one has at least a stone tablet in them.
"Oho, a fellow scholar! One that is also with a baktun-life, I see. Then welcome to the Tzabcani House of Letters!" Suddenly, the spear they were holding disappeared in a puff of air.
"Come in, come in! I am the Quhul Ajaw, Itzamna - but you can call me Itza. What do I call you, fellow scholar? You have such a strange garb, how many years have passed above? Did the Tzabcani prosper?" He seemed to want to ask more, but reined himself.
