Morgyn: I just mean that I want her to think about what happened. I mean, 𝘸𝘩𝘺 it happened. Keisha: Wonderful. Ethren is currently trying 𝘯𝘰𝘵 to have her think about it. Morgyn: Oh. Joanna: What's this "it" you're talking about? You're speaking in riddles. Keisha: Let's change the subject.
Morgyn: I don't know how far it's advanced, I didn't realise it until the day we left. Looking back, the signs are clear. But I reminded her before leaving. Keisha: Reminded her? Morgyn: Of, you know... Keisha: You think she'd forget? Morgyn: Of course not, I don't mean "remind" in that sense.
Morgyn: Keisha... Keisha: Yes? Morgyn: Since you've been bugging me about it for a while... I'll tell you what I know.
Keisha: Are you studying any new spell? Joanna: Repairio. Maybe it isn't that relevant to learn during our trip, but everything else is still too advanced for me. Keisha: You could always skip the basics and go for the advanced stuff right away. Morgyn: Hey. Keisha: I'm joking.
Keisha: Morgyn, you know that Ethren and I talked right before we three left the Realm, but I just wanted to ask you what exactly you know and if- Morgyn: Why are you always bringing this up while we're eating? Keisha: Not always. Morgyn: You know what I mean.
Joanna: I feel like it's time for lunch soon, but I haven't been able to Discharge properly, so I think it's safest if I don't use Delicioso today. Keisha: Don't worry, we'll figure something out. I have some wheat and sodium bicarbonate in my pocket dimension. Morgyn: I have maize oil and a pan.
Morgyn: Don't feel like you have to help me with my Herbalism studies, you can focus on teaching me about the flow of time. Keisha: But it doesn't hurt to look for moss, right? Morgyn: I mean... yeah, I guess.
Keisha: There's a type of moss that I think you'd like to learn about, Morgyn, for your Herbalism studies. It likes to grow in holes, such as wells and hollow logs. I'll show it to you if I find it. Joanna: Are you gonna brew something interesting? Morgyn: I guess... but- Keisha: Can't find any.
Morgyn: It almost tastes like ham. Joanna: I really hope I didn't make a rookie mistake like that... You're allowed to Inferniate me if I did. Keisha: Quite sure it's wheat protein. And Morgyn, no Inferniating Joanna, even if she tells you to. Morgyn: Roger.
Keisha: Mmm, this smells good. You wouldn't think it's a first Delicioso dish. Joanna: Don't give me praise before you've tasted it. Morgyn: Why? Did you add something weird to it? Should we be worried? Joanna: Don't listen to Morgyn. Morgyn: Oh, it's actually pretty good. Joanna: Thank you.
Keisha: Seriously though, is it sage? Morgyn: Yeah... Nils gave me some. Keisha: Are you making an Elixir of Fertility? Morgyn: What? No, of course not. This isn't for a recipe you'll find in a book. At first I was thinking about trying Clear Mind Distillation, but Nils just laughed at that.
Keisha: Hey, is that a sage flower lying next to you? Morgyn: Pay attention, I think she's aiming at us! Joanna: I might just do that if you're not quiet, I'm trying to concentrate.
Joanna: Alright, I think I'm ready. Morgyn: Good, I'm starving.
Morgyn: I think I'll too take the opportunity to study. I hope you don't feel left out. Keisha: Not at all. This whole trip is for you to learn everything you might need to know before you're a Sage.
Morgyn: This looks like a good place for a break. Keisha: And for studying Delicioso. Joanna: ...
Chapter 26: Many Tiny Adventures Keisha: How's your Delicioso studies going? Joanna: You know we've mostly been walking. Keisha: Let's take a break then, to let you study. I'm getting hungry. Joanna: ... I'll do my best to conjure my first dish within the next few hours. Keisha: Perfect.
Jacques: Finally. I hope I didn't miss the last boat home.
