Snippet #1286688

The fireplace in Solomon's shop slowly closed as Pierre strode down the celestial hallway into the main cavern of the Guild. "Zat bastard," he grumbled while shoving his hands into his coat pockets for warmth. "Trying to trick me with such impertinent lies." The man suddenly stopped in his tracks as a new thought came to him. What if Francois had been telling the truth? My brother has never been the curious type, but... Pierre immediately took off running for the archives.

Pierre was sprinting down the main road when he saw Beval. As he ran past the him, the alchemist grabbed the chimera's arm, and surprisingly enough, had enough momentum to pull the hulking figure along with him. "No time to explain!" Pierre shouted over the wind rushing past his ears. "We need to look up ze Eternal Knowledge!"

((Hey Anno, I hope it's OK that I'm referencing the Knowledge here, seeing as it's an alternate storyline. The first time I mentioned it, it was the only reason I could think of for Francois coming to see Pierre. Now I have a much more devious plan...))
