[ That one point. That gets a small laugh out of Tidus. ]

I know Sakura's a teacher, back in her world. You can try asking her - I wanted to ask her for Inigo, see if she has any ideas for him. There's a book here too... --oh yeah, [ now that he remembers, ] I got a book from Irivar too!

[ Is that in his arms? He'll hold it out, squeeze his eyes closed, and...

Poof! Level 0 Spellbook. Tidus looks at the cover and back in a quick sweep, but holds it out for Roland to take. ]

Sure. I'll look out for her, or seek her out. It's always good to keep sharpening the saw, especially when you've got downtime. [ Never mind that he doesn't think he'll particularly succeed, but Tidus is very supportive and Roland isn't one to refuse when there's potential. Maybe one lesson from a different teacher is all it takes? ]

[ Meanwhile, the spellbook is gratefully borrowed as it crosses over and Roland immediately starts scanning the pages, first couple as an introduction, then...His eyes slowly widen. The finger under his chin settled in nicely for the read. ]

Necromancy? How pleasant. [ Not. Probably the same strain of spells he used, back then... ] 'Cause a stabilized creature to resume dying.' Hm. [ Flips flips, reads. ] Wow. The 'Mending' spell looks useful. And Scrivener’s Chant! [ Roland looks up briefly to meet Tidus's eye. ] This is a really good find, Tidus. Are you planning on trying to learn a couple of these with Sakura and Inigo?

Err... I didn't read the book that closely when I bought it. [ Tidus grimaces at the first spell mentioned, teeth showing. UMM. Don't look at him! He's wondering what else is in there (actually, he's forgotten all the spells in there...), but just puts his hands on his sides at the ponder. ]

You can take it if you want. I think I wanted to stick it in the library, but I got distracted.

[ So if Roland can find a better use for it...?! But, he's got to ask- ]

What's a 'Scrivener’s Chant'?

[ Roland looks up, distracted. ]

Oh, it says here that's a spell which can animate a quill to make a copy of writing on another page. [ He smiles. ] That's mighty useful for duplicates.

[ Flipping two pages this time. He's not even hearing the rest of what Tidus has said, and is now moving on to faster skimming. ]

Hm. Nothing on flying brooms yet...

[ Roland what is with you and flying brooms.......!!! ]

What, and double the paperwork done? [ Hah. ] There was a spell for making light in that too, right? Well, that's a couple missions too late.

[ But not bad for newbie magic learners. ]

[ When you discover it one day and have fun on one, you too will understand his fascination!!!

- right, the spell for light. Roland skims the page and points it out with a finger, nodding. ]

Yeah. Looks like. Hm. A lot of these spells could have done plenty of good work in the last three missions we've been on. Gah. If only we were magicians of this caliber.

[ There was even one for moving debris and locking doors. This has got to be put to use in a future mission! ] Hey, speaking of books...I got the cookbook our head chef from Evermore uses everyday. Knock yourself out on it when you're in the mood to experiment new recipes.

[ Flip flip flip. Roland is great at multitasking! ]

[ Oh, cookbook? ]

What's in it? [ Waait. He remembers Roland with a book when he came to visit him that time... ] Is that the higgledy cookbook? Or some other one?

[ Like a cookbook for humans? Though Tidus wonders why Roland would buy a cookbook for anything else. Did they ever talk about that? ]

[ He shakes his head. On cue, out it comes from the band, offered in one hand while he still reads the other spellbook. It's a thick tome covered in worn-out leather, the words 'Floyd's Specials' embossed against the facade. Inside are recipes ranging from the simple to the complex - from freshly baked bread that's been highlighted as the star of the recipe book, the first thing printed on the page, to more delicate dishes like puddings and pies. ]

It's from the kingdom. There are...four more? Each with different specialties. I'll save up to buy the train all of it so everyone can experiment and try out new things. Though meal kits will need to be shared, of course. I'm willing to help if I can.

[ WOW THERE ARE NO FLYING BROOM SPELLS HERE, never mind he's done scanning the book, closing it with a quiet thump and closed eyes. ]
