Elend Venture / Breeze, The Well of Ascension

I kind of lost track of time… / For two hours? / There were books involved.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Elend treats reading as a sufficient explanation for forgetting the clock. Breeze’s question turns an ordinary apology into a small portrait of his friend’s priorities.

Spoilers for The Well of AscensionShow the scene

In the familiar exchange from The Well of Ascension, Elend explains a two-hour lapse in time with the fact that books were involved. Breeze supplies the incredulous middle question. The three turns are preserved together here, with dialogue labels carried by the credit rather than invented as narration on the card.
