[ Trahearne listens to Zhongli speak, and it's hard for him to not feel so smugly proud of his friend. It's not a pretty feeling, no, and he knows this—but there is a seed of vindication knowing Zhongli is...well, who he is, and he so easily puts the arrogant dragon in his place. He spends the entire time with his eyes on him, watching him as he details lost customs, and a hint of a smile plays on his lips.
There's a moment of silence once Zhongli is done as the dragon ruminates over this information. After a beat, he huffs, and relents with a growl.
"Very well." He looks between the both of them. "You may have the book. But I expect it back in a few days' time. No longer than a week. I'm still not done with it. One moment."
He steps back from the door and pulls it shut. Trahearne glances to Zhongli, beaming smile on his face. He's about to say something when the door swings open again, and the dragon shoves the book into the sylvari's arms.
"Take it and get out of here. I'm very busy." ]
Thank y—
[ But the door is closed and locked before Trahearne can say anymore.
He cradles the book in his arms and turns away from the door. He sighs, tension leaving his body as the fact that they've accomplished their mission sinks in. ]
