[...The pressing problem is likely one Lorenz can slightly hear in the background while he goes and picks out his books--Edelgard is efficient in picking something that won't raise too many eyebrows, and some tactical books are always welcome, but once those are picked, the matter of Linhardt sleeping is swiftly taken care of as Edelgard lectures him about falling asleep in here. Linhardt winds up staying and reading, but he's definitely very pointedly ignoring anything going on.

She's certainly not going to allow him to laze about, at any rate. Edelgard soon joins Lorenz, setting her books down and taking a seat across from him.]

Thank you for waiting for me-- [Edelgard's eyes wander over to his books, ever nosy, before they set upon the reason magic books. It gets a nod of approval from Edelgard.] It's good to see that you're taking your studying quite seriously.

[Edelgard has been curious about such things, actually...she's always focused on her axe training to the exclusion of much else, but having magic would be a boon...]

Do you mind too terribly if I borrow one for a moment?
