Fitz still doesn't know what to do with this place. He's solving this problem with extensive reading, trying to figure out what is happening, but it's not getting him anywhere.

She gives him a patient smile, quill in hand, which she deposits dutifully into the ink pot.

"No, not at all - I merely seek to learn more about this house, and what sort of place it is. Answers, however, are few."
