On the off-chance I run into anyone from your home, do I tell them you can't be home for confidential reasons, or do I not say anything at all?"

We've found the writing on the gems, too, presumably left over from the books used to create them. Patchouli used 'pearls of wisdom' to describe them, except it's kinda a bit more than pearls that have shown up."

Yeah, figured. Anyone have any ideas about the kinds of questions we should be asking? My brain has been shut off for some reason while staring at this.
