[Being called "boss" sends a jolt of...something through him. He can't decide if it's good or bad. A bit of pride butting up against his desire to not be in a position of authority. Some of the scouts back home called him that, but not always kindly. He gets it now - no one wants a bratty kid ordering them around.
He studies Jinhai a moment, to try and figure out if he's being made fun of. Fortunately, it doesn't seem he is, so he turns his attention back to the library.]
Our best bet is to find an area that hasn't been searched yet to avoid overlapping someone else's work. If there were a way to mark the books or shelves that have already been searched, that would be helpful, but I don't want to damage anything.
