I appreciate it.

[ Said a little dryly, as he sips on his own wine. As for the book-- ]

Quite so. It goes into rumors about a fox haunting the forest during a specific time, and can be heard during crescent moons. I couldn't tell you if it's true or not, given that I don't live in the forest, nor have I looked into it.

[ A little shrug, then: ]

It's food for thought, at the very least.
