"Within the conditions specified, yes."

"Once I speak to Incarius again, I'll get back to you with a check in schedule. I speak with him when I am dreaming, so should I remain with you until we get this figured out, or should I make other arrangements and come back?"

"I have a letter of introduction and plan on seeing if I can learn some of the local magic at the guild while I'm here. Is that a problem if I stay with you guys?"

"You can stay with us while you are in town. Or more specifically, we have a place where you can room and board."

Leter, at the Guild...


"It has been handy to have! Feeling a bunch of kinda, subtext or whatever with magic is really cool. I want to learn more about the fundamentals of how it all works and what different kinds of magic have in common. I'm curious about using what's good about one magic with another, or about improvising stuff. I'm a lego guy.. that's kind of like building blocks that come in a box with a picture of what you can build with them, but I like building my own thing with the pieces I get to make something better."

Ravalen (who probably doesn't know what legos are): "Inventing new magic is hard. Using it cleverly is easier. The basics of magic are the most important. Learn to cast spells before you try anything harder."

"A dragon! How wonderful that would be! I've always wanted to meet one. There aren't any on my world except in stories."

"If Incarius is secretly some powerful creature, as someone in his employ, he would probably not want me to entertain such a subject and help him to keep his secret and if he is not, he would probably not want me to dissuade people from thinking that as it could come in handy. So it's probably best for me not to speculate."

Nice deflection. Peter, of course, does NOT have to speculate about what Incarius Black might actually be.

"No, nothing like that. I just have a job to do that's my priority right now. My bit may be wrapping up for a while. It may be a few days before I know for sure. And for how long are you planning on travelling? "

"Probably about a month. But however long it takes."

"I was looking for some local instruction I could return to between errands for my employer, and it seems you are looking for a full time apprentice... and now that I say it out loud I feel a little dumb, because obviously that's how this would work."

"Do you honestly think you can learn magic as anything other than a full time apprentice?"
