Chloe was happy to be back up and about the castle again. It had been nearly 3 weeks since the battle and though she had still not regained all of her strength she craved to go adventuring again. Eringuard stayed beside her at all times, ever vigilant in his care over her. She didn't feel sheltered though, she felt loved. As she walked through the castle maze, Eringuard and Joseph beside her talking about politics, and Joseph's new feat; building ships, and helping rebuild the destroyed parts of the castle. She listened half-heartedly. Since the battle with Crystal, she had watched color return to the world, enjoying the scents that the flowers brought back.
She was happy to be back at the castle, though she still had not seen many of her other friends, they were all busy.
She had seen some of them on random occassions throughout the castle, but all were too busy to do anything but nod a head in her direction.
"What do you think Chloe?" Joseph asked suddenly startling Chloe out of her reminsents.
"I'm sorry?" she asked apologetically.
"What do you think about the library being destroyed?" He repeated.
"Oh... I didn't know it had been," she replied.
"Yeah, they've been trying to have it rebuilt and the books that had been salvaged have been placed in the treasury for safe keeping," he explained.
"And the destroyed books? What of them?"
Joseph shrugged, "I've heard that Queen Lucy is going to have them remade."
"Sounds smart," Eringuard nodded.
"Indeed," Chloe said with a smile.
