books are the best

Who: Khadgar
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: For Twin Roses
When: Several days after the water temple

[Someone got a set of books when he was dragged along, completely against his will, through a temple exploration adventure. And promptly started studying them the instant he got back to Twin Roses and free time. Which lead to a couple sleepless nights and now this.

Khadgar has three books spread evenly around him, a notebook under one of those, and one book in front of him. Or rather, it's under his face. His sleeping face. Learning new magic is fun!

No really, he loves it.]

[touchallthebooks]

It's mostly offensive magic, I've never learned how to heal. It's outside my capabilities, really. I can make healing potions though. Those aren't hard.

[He'll have to hope for a shaman or something.]

[goldenglasses]

So it's selective what magic you can learn? You can't just learn all of it even if you can use magic?

[There are so many different variations between worlds. It's amazing really.]

[touchallthebooks]

Certain people can only learn certain skills. And healing was never something anyone really thought I would need, and I never showed an aptitude for it

[goldenglasses]

Well, I suppose I can understand that. After all, can't be an expert in everything so might as well be an expert in what you're good at it.

[touchallthebooks]

Exactly. And I've put a lot of effort into being good at what I know.

[goldenglasses]

Well, good luck with the rest of the reading, but ah-- you may want to check yourself in the mirror. I think you got a bit of ink on your cheek. [And he will just run off once Khadgar does look.

Not that he won't be super easy to find close by laughing to himself if revenge or shouting is needed.]

[touchallthebooks]

The mirror? [He does go to look and there's a yell of 'hey!' a couple moments later and the mage runs out of the room after him. And not really sure of what he'll do if he catches him.]

[goldenglasses]

[Well, he might want to figure it out. As Vash isn't too far away and has a huge grin on his face. He's not exactly trying to hide.] Oh, hey. Finished your reading already?

[LOOK HOW INNOCENT I LOOK!]

[touchallthebooks]

Who even does something like this? [Khadgar gestures at his face.]

[goldenglasses]

Do what? Oh! Looks like you may have smeared a bit of ink on your face! How did that happen?

[Answer? A three year old.]

[touchallthebooks]

[He doesn't buy it.]

None of my books are smudged and you don't get this [gestures at the drawing] this specific with smeared ink.

[goldenglasses]

Huh, are you sure it wasn't magic or something? [He can't stop grinning with a hardly controlled smirk.] It-snort- It's probably something that magic might be able to do.

[touchallthebooks]

Uncontrolled magic is destructive, not devious. [And he's took old to lack control.]

[goldenglasses]

I dunno. You're face looks a bit destructive at the moment. Unless you usually have lines all over it.

[touchallthebooks]

I suppose it just so happened to know your likeness too?

[NOT BUYING IT.]

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, well, would-[Snicker!] -wouldn't misbehaving m-magic want an escape- [Snort.] escape goat?

[touchallthebooks]

Magic isn't sentient.

[He's finding your room and freezing all your underwear in blocks of ice. So help him.]

[goldenglasses]

Maybe it's magic from another world and that magic is sentient.
