And it might be worse looking for something unlikely in a lot of books than just not looking at all.
"You believe that the answer to every question is in a book somewhere, don't you? I wonder if that makes the world more understandable or just less romantic. Lead the way, Captain Thornbird."
Thornton shrugged.
"Maybe in a book. But could also ask the new charms professor. Or just try things." Like painting a jar blue and then dropping something that glows inside. Reading. Asking. Experimenting.
He thought carefully, though, about whether he did believe the answer to every question was in a book somewhere. He walked a little bit, toward the charms section, pondering.
"For questions that have answers that have been found," was finally what he settled on, shrugging as he turned into the charms section.
"Some questions don't have answers, maybe..." he turned back to look at her.
Coming to a stop in front of a bookcase, he looked up.
"Buuuut, for charmed blue lights in a jar, I think maybe here."
