That suggestion made Rinoa's skin crawl, but she did her best not to show it. He was trying. She was going to be nice.
"It's more than interesting," she said, only not rolling her eyes with great effort. "Melia was a great Sorceress many centuries ago. She lived in a small village -- she calls it Thalassa, which we have no records of now. I haven't figured out yet where it was located, but there are hints. I have it narrowed down to just outside Timber, or somewhere on the southern end of Esthar's coast."
Certain geographical landmarks had ruled out places like Deling City, or Winhill, and the climate patterns suggested it wasn't Centra. She wasn't getting into that now.
"Anyway. Despite the town being so small, Melia was only one of many Sorceresses. Well, 'many' may not be the right word. She hasn't listed out names, and sometimes she writes about a particular Sorceress in one place using a nickname and another, her actual initials, which means I might be double-counting, but I think it's between eight and ten. They formed a -- a -- I don't know the right word. 'Coven' implies something spooky and purpose-driven."
Hopefully Squall had a comfortable seat. She might talk about this book for a few hours.
