"Lion?" El prompts, poking her in the side.

"Fiiiiine. No explosions."

"What's left of my frail fleshy body thanks you."

"You should really work on that frailty problem."

"We've been a little busy."

"Well, we'll have some free time, now."

"Not very free."

"Yeah, we do need to get home, but I dunno it's so urgent we can't have multiple projects?"

"I guess."

"Though getting reference works will be a lot easier back home."

"Yeah. Even medical references."

"Dwarves might have medical references but they're probably not for humans..."

"Probably."

"Depends on how complete their library actually is, i guess."

"We'll find out."

"Yeah!" She bounces a bit. "New libraries are fun."

"This one will probably be entirely new."

"Yeah! It's exciting."

"Wonder what they'll have. Books about mining? Engineering?"

"Geology, maybe."

"Do you think we're stereotyping them?"

Snicker. "Maybe a little! For all we know they have massive tomes on the composition of poetry."

"Let's try not to let on we formed any judgements before we actually met a dwarf."

"It's awfully rude, after all."

"Right."
