[... Where did that book just come from? Sorry, Belthazar is staring raptly at what was surely Mikleo pulling the book out of his stomach or something. WHAT THE FUCK.]
Uh--
[Right, shopkeeper.]
Let me ask!
[He goes to bother the shopkeep, who is a little bit confused at Belthazar chattering excitedly to his invisible friend all over the store, but he's seen weirder things.]
Excuse me, sir, I was wondering what the purpose of that pattern is. The one over there, with the repeating knots?
[That's an interesting way of putting it, but the weaver seems to know his stuff. He says that the pattern is a part of the traditional artwork of the planet's people, and it's been around for longer than anyone can remember. That pattern in particular is earth, the different circles and harder edges representing rocks; there are also patterns that represent clouds, the ocean, the sun, and of course the trees.
Belthazar nods, and then glances at Mikleo to see if he has anything to add.]
