Userhat

I only keep count. But when the same seal has been stamped on the same chamber thirty-two times, that stops being a count and becomes a rumor.

• PaserThirty-two times. I must have been diligent.
  UserhatDiligent and frequent are not the same thing, High Priest.
• IsisnofretScribe, it's a little frightening that you carry that number around memorized.
  UserhatI have your tomb's completion date memorized as well, Princess.

A ledger outlives a person. So I watch the ledger, not the person.

• NakhtSenior, why didn't you write down that you carried twenty-some soaked ledgers out last night?
  UserhatThat's not a matter for the record.
• KenaIs the ledger from fifty years back in there too?
  UserhatIt is. Though that one year, the volume is unusually thin.
