Thomas made one of his visits to the Vault to relay a few bits of information, and had decided to swing by the library to double-check some legal codexes to confirm a suspicion that he had. With this focus on finding the darn thing, he doesn't realize at first that Link was in the room as he scans the shelf - realizing that it was on the top shelf.

Nope. Not Today.
