Once Christine returns from Emprise du Lion, it's straight back into research in the library. She needs to get permission from the advisers to study the red lyrium, so for now she's just pooling together what she's learned so she can write a suitable proposal. There are maps of Sahrnia laid out before her with numerous Xs on it, plenty of notes, a quill and pen close by, and several rolled up bits of blank parchment.

In addition to this project, she still has her spirit healer studies, and there is a stack of books on the subject on her table, which she sorts through, looking for a certain bit of information. Her movements cause the rolls of parchment to roll straight off the table and next to Aleron where he stands besides a shelf, and Christine lets out a sigh of exasperation as she stands to retrieve them.

"Excuse me," she says, to warn him not to step on any parchment, nor to step on her hand as she crouches to collect it all.
