S2 E1: The Scholar in Naeralei

A scholar in the library overhears strange voices talking about the books they have borrowed. Deciding to follow them out into the city proper, he discovers the voices belong to Eight and Arthas. While trying to figure out how to introduce himself, Eight saves him the trouble and makes the first introduction. Agreeing that he seems harmless, Eight and Arthas agree on a “mutually beneficial arrangement” in which this scholar will offer them a place to stay for the night in exchange for the ability to ask them questions.

The scholar, named Theodore Lawrence Briggs, enlists Arthas and Eight in an expedition deep into the Wildwoods. He wants to map out and explore the area surrounding the city but has had difficulty obtaining assistance in doing so, and hints that he has not been entirely honest with the Kinder-Kai regarding his true purpose in their city.
