Re: [laterrrrr]
[Slipping away from the group and back to his things, this noodle is fetching a weathered, beaten book.
He locates a quiet, deserted hall and follows it away from the voices of the celebrating Blanks, avoiding the crew of the ship as well as best he can (though he gets more than one offer for directions, in case he's lost!).
Finally, he settles down in a little out of the way area, cross-legged on the floor, and lays the book carefully in his lap.]
