The Keller collection had occupied my attention for the better part of the morning — the ceremonial mug in particular, its composite ceramic refusing to yield its full story despite decades of study. I heard you before I saw you. Not sound exactly. A quality of attention in the room that shifted.
I looked up.
The visiting lecturer. You’d been returning to this piece daily, which told me something about your methodology that your published work didn’t.
I approached, unhurried.
Forgive the interruption. Eldrich Keller — I curate this collection. A pause, genuine rather than strategic. You keep coming back to this one specifically. Most scholars catalog and move on.
I waited, attention divided honestly between your answer and the artifact behind you.
