The building is vast, holding ten stories, each rather large. The building itself has many pillars all around it, almost like a forest of stone trees with a path leading to the doors. (It is still debated exactly how many pillars are there. The current thought on count was 1,000 or 1,001) The ten foot double doors, made from solid gold, are inlaid with a moving image of two dragons fighting. Past the doors is a grand library filled to the brim with books, the floors with balconies overlooking the floors below. Straight ahead is a large stand, both desk and shop. Within the shop are items glowing with magic to those who know how to look. Behind the desk/shop is a large sign with three names, though it seems to have places for many more:
Head Librarian/Lord Seeker: Satorius
Seekers:
Seekers/Librarians-in-training:
Librarians:
Magic Item Shopkeepers: All of the above. If any are in, then you can buy an item.
The amount of books is staggering, yet that sign proclaims that if the book or knowledge isn't here, one could hire a Seeker to seek that knowledge out. They also seem to take jobs on finding magic items...
Of course, the place is now in a bit of disrepair. The books are fine, though many of the other things around the place, such as the floor, is pocked with damage from the battle.

Several days after they had moved here, Sat was still working on the place. He was doing it by hand, instead of magic. He had decided that Trink would appreciate that a little more... and it gave him the sense of actually doing something, more than his magic ever had. Strange.
He paused for a moment, sending a mental image outwards to invite their long time friend. Trink would be elated. It would be a complete surprise, as he had not said a word about him going to Terisia to speak with LD.
He also hoped the talk and dinner would help put LD's mind at ease.
Smiling, he turned took a seat at the chair behind the large service desk. It would still take more work, but it at least looked better, overall.

*LD recived the message shortly after it was sent, the message confused him a bit. It was the first time a client, friend or otherwise asked him to come to a dinner. He didn't think all that much of it besides it being a chance to show Satorius the blade he had ordered*
*He appears just outside the Seeker's Library, wearing his blue Ceronian Millitary Robe and a very large metal case held by his right arm. He looks at the building and examins it for a few moments before sniffing the air and walking into the building. He notes Satorius behind the service desk and chuckles as he aproaches*
"Now this is not what I had expected, Satorius the librarian."

[Sindar] Cirion! Where are you?
*Tirth flutters up to get a better view of the library. Where has Cirion gone off to now? He wants to play, he's got his wooden sword in his hand and Nana is looking for them downstairs because he has to take a bath- Gods he hates baths- and this is the perfect time to go around the Library exploring and where the Hells is that brother of his gone off to? Reading, no doubt. But where?*
Cirion!
*The little boy stands on a bookcase and looks around. Ack, Adar! Tirith nearly drops himself between the rows of bookcases, but thinks the better of it. Adar surely isn't paying any attention to him. There is a... customer, of sorts, maybe. Odd-looking guy. Tirith remains where he is and stares.*

Satorius smiles and stands, pushing the chair back with the base of his foot.
"All men are humble in one way or another. Most would not expect you to be a master of the forge, for instance. Besides..."
He gestures to the row upon row of books in the vast building, which is much larger on the inside than it was outside.
"...I love books. Welcome to Eluria, LD. I did not tell Trink that you were coming, so it will be a bit of a surprise. Unless Tirith over there flies off and tells her, of course. Then he will have to skip on dessert."
Satorius turns his head and looks in the general direction of his son, smiling.

*LD chuckles*
"This is very true. And a mighty collection of books, I do belive this would rival the Ceron World Arcive."
*LD looks off in the direction Satorius looks*
"Tirith? And who might that be?"

"Tirith is one of my two sons. He likes to set things on fire, but do not worry. We have made sure to proof against that in the library."
Satorius smiles, a touch mischeviously.
"That includes you, so he will not be able to set your fur on fire. Ceron World Archives? That sounds quite interesting."

*Tirith waves at LD and flutters down to his father. You can never keep a secret from that man. Shucks. He tries very hard not to think the very ugly swear words that he and Ciron found in the Common to Abyssal dictionary yesterday when Nana wasn't looking, because Adar has the tendency to pick up on those things. And by trying not to think of them, he does. Of course.*
I won't tell nobody nothing. Hello. You look funny.

"Tirith, we will need to talk about your interesting selection in books after dinner."
He smiles pleasantly, his has clasped behind his back.
"Anyways, this is LD, a good friend of the family. LD, this would be Tirith."

*Aw crap.*
[Sindar] I don't know what you're talking about.
*Tirith pouts and grumbles and gives LD a curous look.*

*LD chuckles breifly*
"Well Tirith, to you I may be funny looking, but where I'm from you'd be about as funny looking as it gets."
*LD smiles briefly and places the case on the ground*
"Good to meet you Tirith."
*He looks at Satorius again*
"Do you want to see the blade now or do you want to wait to see it until after dinner?"

"Tsk, you should know better than to even try lying to me Tirith."
Satorius runs a hand through Tirith's hair, smiling happily as he formulated what was to be said to the two boys afterwards.
"Hm, I am sure business can wait until after dinner. Trink might want to see it too, after all. Here, did you want me to carry it for you?
Tirith, could you fetch Nana for me? Tell her that a guest has arrived."

*LD chuckles a bit*
"Yes. My homeplanet. They look like me. It's rather nice, lots of trees. It's called Ceron. That'd be up to your parents. I'm a steel smith and not really."
*LD watches Tirith leave then nods to Satorius*
"Ok, till after dinner, no I've got it. Thank you for the offer, but until it's done I'll carry it."
*LD smiles rubs his chin breifly with his mechanical left hand, his mind wanders a bit to questions he'd need to ask, it had been way too long since he had seen Satorius and Catriona*

"You will be getting a lot more of those before night's end, my friend."
Satorius laughs and nods, a small grin spreading across his face.
"I do not believe I have ever had the pleasure of seeing you in business mode, LD. Quite funny, but very effective."
