Ruth snatched the parchments from Albern before Maxi could get a proper glimpse.

"You shameless dog!" Albern fumed, leaping to his feet. "How dare you take those from me?!"

"Oh, give it a rest. It's not like I'll piss on them."

"Don't test me! Do you have any idea the trouble I went to copy those?! I won't have the deserter reap the fruits of my labor!"

Albern snorted as he rolled up the parchments and shoved them into his bag. "Why would I ask for the help of a man who abandoned the Tower, saying he couldn't bear to waste away his life on research? Especially when there are others who have dedicated their lives to this very cause without once doubting their commitments!"
