Killer librarians gonna librarian
I hope everyone has made permanent as many books as they could from the last space. Those you wish to make available to everyone, please fill out a card for each of them telling us with whom it can be found, and place it in a public catalog, like the one in L—The Workshop. [ Can he still call it Leonardo's Workshop if Leonardo is gone? He wants to, but that is also like putting salt in the wound. ] Alternatively, leave them with me in The Workshop and I will shelve them for you.
What we've just received may serve, but personal accounts such as ours will shed light on more than just general history. I encourage you to write your own. I have again gathered my own notes on last Jaunt. You can find them under the title January Codex. I did not have much this time around. A bit about youth culture, illegal vision technology, courier trade, artisan trade, smuggler trade, what Jason told me about a book describing how the plague began, and how... delinquents are dealt with.
I came back with a pair of long earrings, but I do not wear earrings. Would anyone care for them? They are made of feathers and painted bird skulls.
[ And lastly... ]
If I... did anything embarrassing during the Samhain festival, I apologize. For my other self. I was not myself. And drunk.

no subject
[Drizzt does not pick up on the meaning behind the question, instead very distracted by the question itself, as he knows the answer he gives can be somewhat disturbing.]
Yes and no. The families of goodly races such as humans, elves, dwarves, and halflings can indeed have tight family bonds. One of my dearest friends, a dwarf named Bruenor Battlehammer, has even adopted human children outside of his race.
[A hesitant pause, but even with the hesitance, the rest is said as if it's perfectly normal to Drizzt.]
Drow are a race of elves, but we are not like our surface cousins. Most do not know love—we do not even have a word for it. Parents, especially mothers in such an extreme matriarchal society, only see their children as they see all others: tools to further their own power. My father is an exception, as I would be if I had children of my own. But my mother was just as cruel as any other, as was my brother and most of my sisters.
