“Friend, friend, friend!”
Xiaolong scurries to you, a bounce in her step and a big smile on her face. “I have some wonderful plans for your visit today!”
You crouch down so you can see her better, and ask her about her plans.
“Okay, first!” She raises her staff, magicks a book from midair, and gestures to the book. “This book! It only just released, friend! And it’s such a good book. I couldn’t put it down! I just wanted to keep reading and reading and reading, and then, when I finished it, Gen told me that it was time for dinner.” She shakes her head. “I also learned a lot, friend. I had no idea about the historical events that this book talks about, and I… I learned a lot. And I think it’s really important that I tell you about this book.”
Once you find a comfier spot by the Pond, you settle down and ask Xiaolong about this important book.
“So,” she says, holding the cover out for you to see. “This book is called The Weight of Our Sky…“
