Mikel's morning had not gone as he expected it to after his early spar. The news of Lord Bridges and its effect on Laena, his visit to the Bridges pavilions, then his failed attempt to speak with Ser Gwayne Corbray. He wanted to do something to help find the one responsible for Lord Bridges death, and to find the hooded man, and hold Lord Merryweather accountable for his actions, and... plenty more. The consistent flow of the tournament towards injustice and dishonor, abuse, humiliation, and murder just kept coming. It was frustrating him, not only the actions themselves but what he felt was an inability for him to push that dark tide back. And if many here had their way, which they were like to, then when the war came what had happened so far at the tournament would be nothing.
Rash action would not suit his longevity though nor reflect well on House Starkwood. He came to the library hoping to find it empty so that he might use the peace to reclaim some peace. Not just that but also to search for answers. Of all that has happened Lord Merryweather's actions weighed most heavily upon his thoughts and perhaps here in some book he might find some manner by which a law by man or the seven had held a Lord accountable for his actions upon one of the small folk. He had no idea where to look or how to start, so he just dove right in.

The most promising book Mikel comes across is the Testimony of Mushroom, it is however filled with nothing but scandal, wicked humor and outrageous claims. Undoubtedly an inspiration for Butterbumps, it does not however, give any account of how the testimony of one of low birth can carry greater weight in court than that of a lord. Some of the schemes Mushroom claims to reveal the truth of may perhaps be of some small inspiration to one willing to become a monster themselves to fight another, but all the claims made by the most infamous fool of all are either too wild for Mikel to bring himself to believe or too grotesque for him to want to believe, often times both.
