Tranquility.

[ It's with a warm sort of politesse that Petyr addresses the network this time around, a crimson sash draped over one of his shoulders and a new set of robes upon his frame. Visible next to him, at the fringe of the image, is a girl with chestnut brown hair and her hands folded in her lap, who should prove familiar to at least some upon the ship. ]

I inquired some months ago as to the existence of a physical library, and was informed that the ship lacked such a facility. As such, I have taken it upon myself to begin one for the sake of those who would prefer the feel of a solid page than the, ah. Furnishings that the ship provides. My collection is meager, but it is more than what was available upon my arrival. Should you care to take advantage of it, I can be found upon the fifth level, next to the quarters that Alayne Stone — [ at the mention, the girl sitting next to him smiles prettily and offers up a wave ] — keeps as a seamstress. She has offered her help in my endeavor, to care for the books in my absence.

That said, should you be willing to part with them, we would greatly appreciate any spare books that you might have. This service is without charge, and meant simply for the comfort of those upon the ship.

I have taken the liberty of attaching the list of the books collected so far, and hope that some of you, at least, will find some use in it.

[ And, with a duck of his head, the feed cuts out. ]

ATTACHMENT.

Though they're meager, you both have my thanks for this. This is a gift indeed.

[ Petyr's glance is answered with one of Alayne's, her smile bright and attentive. (She makes for the picture of a dutiful daughter.)

Eagerly, she nods.
] There are those who do not see our presence aboard this ship as a gift. But we cannot be ungrateful for the blessings we do have.

We, all of us, must contribute what we can.

[A very slight hesitation.]

Forgive me; when you say "our" presence, do you mean the presence of we passengers in general, or are you referring specifically to yourselves?

I cannot deny the graces granted to me by being brought aboard the ship. To do so would be ungrateful, and I have much to be thankful for. [ Another glance and a wordless conversation seems to occur when Petyr meets Alayne's brief gaze. No pardon necessary, it seems. ] But my lord protector speaks truly. I do speak of the passengers as a whole.

Good. I should not want...Well. In any case. It's not my place to address interpersonal conflicts if any should arise. Yet there seem few enough on the ship to conflict with us; Ward and Resnik are hardly glad of us, but they are but two people.

Well. Something like a library is certainly a start of "something more."
