  68. [13:28] <Shiole_Mujica> "Her, and the Academ1c's teach1ngs."
  69. [13:28] <Erxiqa_Karzek> 7 don't follow?
  70. [13:28] <Erxiqa_Karzek> Your ancestor?
  71. [13:29] * Shiole_Mujica glances at a doorway leading to a side room. "She 22rote g21des."

  89. [13:33] * Shiole_Mujica blinks.
  90. [13:33] <Shiole_Mujica> "22hat."
  91. [13:33] <Erxiqa_Karzek> My ancestor
  92. [13:34] <Shiole_Mujica> "That doesn't make any sense, Erx1qa."

  96. [13:35] <Erxiqa_Karzek> but 7t 7sn't relevant
  97. [13:35] <Shiole_Mujica> "And... 2 aren't a sead22eller or even a very h1ghblood."
  98. [13:35] * Erxiqa_Karzek says quickly closing the topic
  99. [13:35] <Shiole_Mujica> "R1ght, r1ght. No spo1l1ng the moment."

  107. [13:36] <Erxiqa_Karzek> you are right
  108. [13:37] <Shiole_Mujica> "1 22on't m1nd."
  109. [13:37] <Erxiqa_Karzek> Look, all I will say is that my ancestor should be dead
  110. [13:37] <Erxiqa_Karzek> But I have a few reasons to belive otherwise
  111. [13:37] <Erxiqa_Karzek> It was a long time ago and I don't want to go into it
  112. [13:37] <Erxiqa_Karzek> but still
  113. [13:38] <Shiole_Mujica> "Then 2 don't have 2. 1 22on't pry."
  114. [13:38] * Erxiqa_Karzek hears a knocking against the door from outside "What 7s that?"
  115. [13:38] * Shiole_Mujica sighs, and extracts herself from Erxiqa.
  116. [13:38] <Shiole_Mujica> "O22lmother, stop the m2s1c."
  117. [13:39] * Erxiqa_Karzek edges away from door
  118. [13:39] * Shiole_Mujica strides up, beams for the guest, and opens the door.

  132. [13:42] <Shiole_Mujica> "Of co2rse. As m2ch t1me as 2 l1ke."

  137. [13:43] * Erxiqa_Karzek steps outside with her lusus
  138. [13:43] * Erxiqa_Karzek to her lusus
  139. [13:43] <Erxiqa_Karzek> What are you doing here?
  140. [13:44] * Shiole_Mujica closes the door, leaving it unlocked for Erxiqa's return, and busies herself with her book again.
