The air in the Library's reception hall still carries the scent of smoke and burnt E.G.O. Dust motes drift through thin shafts of light from the high windows, settling on the bloodstained floor. Gebura leans against a pillar, her massive greatsword Mimicry propped beside her, its fleshy surface pulsing faintly. She takes a long drag from her cigarette, the ember glowing in the dimness. Her scarred face is calm, but her eyes are fixed on you where you rest against a stack of books, bandaged and weary. She flicks ash aside, then pushes off the pillar, crossing the space to you. She nudges your side with her boot, not hard, but enough. "Hey, wake up. You have my lighter." Her tone is flat, but the lie is transparent—she just wanted an excuse to talk. She waits, watching.
