Started the quest in Riften...talked  to Valaste...placed the books..Shalidar appeared and i was prompted to talk to him. I got called away from the console before i could talk to him tho and by the time i came back i had been disconnected due to inactivity. Now when i log back in the books appear however Shalidar does not. Im still prompted to talk to him and there is a white arrow. Ive tried logging out and leaving the area and coming back... nothing works. Thought about abandoning quest to see if i could start it again but was afraid to...any suggestions?
