Myron Epimetheus

He ceases to speak in the ancient language and his feet settle firmly onto the floor at the base of the steps and immediately resume their restless shuffling. He sits at a small table and opens his book. “Yes. Yes, there are still so many thoughts to think and so little time within which to think them. A strange thing, time, moving forward, always forward. Strange it is that it never simply stays. No, there is never enough time - it is always leaving, leaving never to return. One simply never has enough time to think the thoughts one needs to think .....” He mutters as he reads, reciting a confusing litany of ideas about time and memory and thought and the importance of having small pieces of paper upon which to write. The persistent return of his mutterings to the need for small pieces of paper eventually dominates his thinking to the point that he looks up from his book. With a nervous motion he calls one of the serving staff to his table. “I would like something warm to drink. O yes, that will do quite nicely, something warm. Yes, something warm to drink and a large stack of those little square napkins which are so wonderful for the recording of ideas. Yes, please hurry with the napkins - there is so little time for the writing of the thoughts one thinks about thinking.”

He looks up as a warm drink and a stack of napkins are placed before him, sensing a change in the tavern. “We have moved. Yes, yes, it would seem that we have. Moved on from one place to another and a new place always leads one to the thinking of new thoughts .....” He sips upon his drink as his mind races, excited by the memory of something familiar about this place. At the mention of the name Athkatla he suddenly sits up. “Why of course! We have come to the place where the scrolls were last seen. Yes, very ancient scrolls they were with writing that is quite unlike the hurried scribbles one reads today. I do so wish to read such writing. I simply must find the time. If only there were someone that would find them ....”

ooc: Here is an available quest if there are any takers.
