How do you know I'm the one who has all the Callistus? [He's not wrong, of course. Van can't keep a hint of a smile from creeping into his voice.]
I haven't really, no. I keep trying to read up on the rifts, but there's so little written yet. Obviously it would be better to talk to the ones with the shards firsthand.
[There's a wary part of him that wants to save the rest of this conversation for when they actually get to lunch, lest they run out of safe things to talk about. He's never had to worry about running out of things to talk about with Myr before--but he's also never in his life been trying to avoid a fight before.]
[Myr's own smile is likewise audible.] The bookshelf Ser Coupe helped you demolish was apparently home to the library's collection of it. I got an earful of how it's all gone missing between being reshelved and someone hoarding it all.
--Oh. You know, that's a good idea. I've just been talking to them about their magic, not...the shards.
That's-- [He surprises himself with a yawn.] Uhm. Something we can talk about at lunch, though. Later.
That's what happened to the rest of it. I knew there had to be volumes I was missing. It's not my fault if they don't know how to put things back.
[The very idea of the shards has fascinated him, and he opens his mouth on pure instinct to tell Myr everything he's learned about them so far, before he's cut off by that yawn. Right, yes--save it for later.]

Sure. I'll meet you here then, if you like.

Sounds good.
[A moment's hesitation.] You take care of yourself in the meantime.
[It's the closest he'll come to worrying over what happened between Van and Kit. For now.]
