Cozy Book Haven
When William and his group arrived, Alice was still in the store, transcribing two medical texts by Celsus.
The two texts from Celsus on medical techniques aren't extensive, but copying them a thousand times is sure to tire out one's hand. Now that Alice had firmly decided to learn from William, she wouldn't give up easily.
Ignoring William's age and the way he treated her, at least what William could teach her was something no one else in the world could possibly offer.
Having calmed down while sitting in the bookstore earlier, Alice had come to understand this.
William's cold and strict demeanor towards her was perhaps beneficial. Wouldn't it push her to take her studies more seriously? If William were too kind, showing excessive concern, or making inappropriate advances, wouldn't that be even harder to stomach?
