This scenario could go in many terrible directions in Han's mind—he was no Diplomat. Man, he wished he was one in this particular moment, and perhaps he could have talked his way out of here. Or if he was a smooth Noble like Sir Leon de Harrington, maybe they could have used charisma or some fancy Noble Skill to change this ghost's mind. Heck, they might even walk out of here with one book if they had the Noble.
Although to be fair, that wasn't his goal.
Because as far as he was concerned, he didn't come here to steal from this guy's library if he was this stingy and dangerous. No, he was out here to save Ellynn and Timothy, too, apparently. And yet the Spectre's words of 'Seekers' now finally clicked as he threw a look in Timothy's direction.
Did he and Ellynn put themselves in danger for the books here?
