Inessa keeps regular hours at the library, the Grey Warden mage preferring to do so in the afternoons once her mabari companion has been worn down through exercise. After all those games of fetch or just running around, he's tired enough to curl on the floro and nap. The small, pale elven woman always has a large stack of books at her table, though her area is neatly organized, barely anything out of place for long.

It's when she's putting away most of her tomes and looking for something to bring Nathaniel, as promise, that the scent of tobacco reaches her nose. She arches an eyebrow, not used to such scents in the library, and it doesn't take long for her to find the source of it, beyond the next stack. The elf is unfamiliar, and that book.... "The Re-Punchening? That cannot be a real title. What has the Hard in Hightown series come to?"
