Skathi squints down at the Fae below her, a hint of wonder and something like confusion in her eyes. For a moment, the cyan tips of their odd fishbone exoskeleton glow. Then she shakes her head, blinking away the suspicion.
“Ah, these?”Skathi asks, lightly tapping the spine of one of the many books that hover around them. The Sandsurge’s voice is rough and somewhat scratchy, as though it hasn’t been used in some time. Or perhaps she’s simply had no need for it. “I actually don’t know where they came from. Just sprung to life one day. Mmm… there’s a couple of my exploration logs in there, I think, so that’s pretty annoying, but eh.” She rolls her shoulders. “If I ever need to consult them, I can just ask the book. And they’re an extra couple sets of eyes, so it’s an advantage in fights.”
One of the swarm chitters behind her, fluttering its pages like wings as Aviana watches. “I’d read if I had the time, but I was never much good with words. My brother’s the smart one out of us two, so you can ask him if you’d like.” Her eyes narrow. “I’ve a sneaking suspicion he’s the one who brought my logs to life. Probably because they’re some of the only things I read nowadays. I’ll ask him about it later.”

"Do you like to read? I notice you have a ... swarm... of books following you around" asks Aviana to the very spiky sandsurge towering over her.
