Bree tilted her head curiously, considering the story. It was an interesting moral conundrum, given her stance on the importance of preserving knowledge and stories. She was quiet for a moment, thinking. It was a trick she was working on, thinking about what she said instead of just blurting it out. It was a work in progress.
"No," she said finally. "Because judging by the contents of these books, there's not actually any such cultural considerations. Radaghast wrote them down. He decided to share them. The books were published, and these are not a single journal, or else I would still have you on that chair." Actually, they just wouldn't have been in common circulation. But also, if he'd gotten a hold of unique books and then defaced them, this would have been a beat-down, not a menacing, scholarship and morals be damned. "I could find other copies. It would take me a long time and be very expensive. I might have to wait for people to die, and I, unlike some people, don't have all the time in the world for that shit." She leaned on his desk with both hands, as if to emphasize her point. "I am not letting you hoard or destroy knowledge because you decided you knew better than anyone else what was or was not to be shared. If you think the knowledge is culturally insensitive or dangerous in some manner, you can take that up with Miss Kumo. I'm an intern; that's above my pay grade. But you're not Radaghast--I assume--and you're not to the owner or originator of that information. You don't get to make that call."
