"I'm impressed by even just the name Biblioplex," Gladio had to admit, with a faint snort, and another shake of his head. "Gotta hand it to 'em, they're on point with their names. Lorehold? Like a stronghold, but for lore? I mean, how could I not at least have a little peek?"

And he wasn't sure if it was a good thing that Nell was here so that she could be mindful enough to drag him out of there to actually do what they came here for, or if she'd just end up joining him and none of them would see either of them again until it was time to leave.

But he'd started eying Liliana a little more openly now, a little more obviously, before offering, "This place seems pretty cool. Thanks for bringing us here."

He still wasn't entirely sure he was ready to let his guard down because usually, 'going places with Liliana' didn't really have the best turnout in his experiences and from what he'd heard from Iggy so far, but....this all seemed pretty legit and less likely to go south quickly.

But always being ready for that kind of thing was sort of what he did best.
