Kaliban's guide Parmak looked up from his book and appeared for a moment like he would say something to her, but instead he got up, and moved to an empty chair in a corner, returning to his reading.When Ethian asked Ruznami what brought him to Candlekeep, Voshadi interjected in elvish, "He lives here. This is Master Reader Ruznami."In the bathhouse, the Great Reader explained the subject of their discussion, but as it was on a book that Argenti had not read, she had little to say on it. They politely put that aside, and Little One shared his story, saying in a mild soft voice for one so large, "Once I was like much of my kin, an oaf, a brute. I crushed my enemies with my club and I felt no remorse. One day, years ago, I came upon a halfling wanderer. Before the little one could object, I flattened her with my club, and I took a shiny circlet from her head. To my dumbfound surprise, it soon changed size to fit me, so I put it on. My mind was changed - I could more deeply reason and ponder, and as I thought about my actions, I began to regret. Eventually I made my way here and I gained entry with my journal, having taught myself to write."Great Reader Nyantani added, "He writes very well thought-out pieces; and so he is permitted - in fact, welcomed - to remain."</blockquote>
