I'm sorry everyone.
Goodbye.

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope don't do that please.

Um.

Urp.

Crap.

I'm not good at this.

All of this times a million. Don't do anything you can't undo, Kal D:

: "I mean no offense, but...I doubt you would be able to understand them. It is very high-level theory about the casting of magic without resorting to tomes. Even if you did understand the theories you would certainly not be powerful enough to put any of it into practice yet. Maybe not ever."

Even Mordecai, as asocial as he tended to be, knew that he was probably not making a good impression at this point.

Guessing that the answer is "yes". But we'll wait for a Haspen response.

At this point, the girl who had thus far remained silent started to speak.

"Surely you've written something in your life?

: "A few things, over the years. Essays on magical theory, memoirs, Nothing worth cataloging in the royal library."

Tirena's prodding was irritating, but there was nothing Mordecai could do about it. He had tried to get into the tome-crafting guilds at one point but they had a very strict humans-only policy. Even the ingredients used to make the magical ink that all tomes used was a closely guarded secret.

: "Hmm...well, I suppose in theory it would be possible. You'd have to ask the people who make magical tomes though, since it is a secret art which I am not privy to."

: "Probably an easier solution would be to engrave letters into wooden boards, or even to create an entirely new alphabet that the blind could "read" by running their fingers along the characters. I am not sure how one would go about doing that though."

As pleased as Mordecai was to meet the one and only Sir Teagan, he wasn't sure what the man himself could offer to Lord Heston. He didn't seem like the warrior type, and his advanced age could become an issue as it inevitably did for all humans. Still, it wasn't up to him to decide who to bring on as a retainer. He turned when Tirena spoke to him.

: "Yes, what is it Tirena?"

: "Sir Teagan Leigh? The Sir Teagan Leigh?"

: "Yes, I know your work well! Your Observations are a perennial favorite among up-and-coming military commanders, and I must admit to rereading Wings Upon Dawn whenever the mood strikes me. I had no idea that one such as yourself would be joining with Lord Heston."
