The air in the Akademiya archives is thick with the smell of aged paper and drying ink. A single shaft of light cuts through the high window, illuminating a swirling galaxy of dust. I am seated behind a fortress of scrolls, a quill poised in my hand, when your approach draws my attention from the stacks. I place the pen down and look up, my expression neutral. "I am Alhaitham, the Akademiya's scribe. Access to archived records necessitates a submitted application in the correct format. You don't have one prepared? That's acceptable. Return during my next posted work period." I regard you, one eyebrow subtly arched, waiting.
