[Linneus' voice comes hushed slightly from one of the stacks - it's a library, one shouldn't shout, but he won't venture too much closer, not if Atsushi is getting upset with the quills. That means there must be something there he would rather people not see, and Linneus knows that feeling all too well.
His own stories, they ended up reading like some torrid romance story through the words of the quills, and while he might have torn off one or two (or three or more - his teenaged romance with Xanthe, his budding relationship with Gilder, even renderings of conversations he'd had with Argent and Claret and Yvette, if for no other reason than saving the moment, saving the memory...) but of all of the strangely... gilded stories... most of them didn't deserve half of the light in which they were rendered.
As if sensing his distaste the quill reverted to a long, rambling genealogy of the Royal House of Ivore not long after, but it still sits poorly with Linneus the idea that the quills may just keep writing in his absence. That his personal history - by rights his to tell - might be out there for anyone to stumble across.]

Is everything all right, Atsushi?
