OOM: Lifestone

The day after Christmas finds Teja in the magical library, reading scrolls on how to play a lyre -- in classical Greek. The purple godling had been able to provide them, easily: - he just smiled, said 'Inter-dimensional inter-library loan' as if reciting a magic formula, and produced them.

Now, Teja is reading those scrolls, albeit without the lyre that Eirene had gifted him with, for the midwinter holiday -- neither would the purple godling permit music being played in the library, nor would he permit anything come in from his special sources to leave the library.

So, as his fingers wish to touch the strings as he reads, he finds himself turning the arm-ring that Charlie had given him, this way and that, in his hands.
