Sounds tricky. That's different. The boys seem to think that they should work.

"So what's the obstacle? Distance? Unclear location?"

Unclear location, it seems.

"I suppose the far far away places were discovered like The Top was; send a big Vasic stone and get it caught by the Vasic over there."

Yes.

I think for a moment, "If they have Vasic in the far far away places, why would they think the Vasic makes the light or the heat?"

They don't have real vasic. They have bad vasic. pretend vasic. unusable vasic.

"So could a small Vasic help the big stone?"

Some of the boys think it could, some think it couldn't.

"How does the chalk fit into this? Does it have to be that kind of chalk, or could something else that writes on Vasic work?"

Chalk is convenient. You can see it. You can write with anything. But easier to make a mistake. Some expensive stones have guide-marks.

Do they mean "They like to go to market" as in "They don't know because they don't go where the Hawkin do." or as in "The Hawkin like to go to the market."?

The Hawkin like to go to the market

Hm. I see. "What do they do with the people they push away? Is it just to keep the big stone clear? How aware are they of who's coming through?"

They feel them. Vasic guides work hard. Study. feel people moving. Feel stones they can reach. Kind of mysterious. Keep stones clear. Keep bad guys and bad fighters out.

Well that's an odd coincidence.

They have a similar feel to them... the actual shapes are different though. its more that they have a combination of lines and curves, rather than the two looking like '2'.
