Library gothic lolita 10
[spoiler]
Didn't they have a book that could heal fatal wounds a couple episodes ago? And another that could bring the recently deceased back to life in the other episode? Or maybe he can only use each book's power once?
Quite interesting how they alternate between "Everything will be allright!" and "Rocks fall every new named character dies!"

[spoiler]I noticed. They didn't have enough time to use it in this case.[/spoiler]
[spoiler][strike]There's also the fact that neither had reason to suspect they'd need either book. Why cart a valuable magic book around all the time, much less multiple? It's not exactly weightless, it takes up space, it could get lost or damaged or stolen. In fact, given that Kendrick and his mooks ambushed and tied up Huey and Dalian, if they'd had the books on them you can be sure they'd have been taken, and would now be lying under a pile of rubble that used to be a soundproof room. Most likely, the books not currently in use are hanging out back at the library in Huey's mansion. Or, for a more meta take, in Schrödinger's Hammerspace where Huey and Dalian either have them on them or not, depending on the needs of the plot.[/strike]
I shouldn't post at 3am. Dalian
is their hammerspace. Prime's point is the one that stands - when your hands are literally bound and building is collapsing on top of you, you don't have the time for exchanging catch phrases and reading a book to bring the guy back.
I notice that they're now using Japanese suffixes instead of English titles as they did up until now. I'd assume that it was just Kendrick's voice actor, but Huey does it too - if you listen closely, you can hear him calling Christabel "Sistine-jou" instead of "Miss Sistine"[/spoiler]
