[open] Mareuer catchall
Who: Urianger and various
When: the month of Mareuer
Where: Various
What: General catchall prompts
Warnings: TBD, none so far
Library (repeatedly on different days throughout the month, open to anyone)
[Over the course of the last several hours, a table in the corner of the library has become increasingly piled high with books. A very tall man with shaggy silver hair, pointed ears, and a neck a little too long for most people to be confident in calling him human is just visible over the tops of them, and in the gaps between the piles; he appears to be taking swift notes from the book currently open in front of him, and occasionally pulls a different tome from one of the stacks to consult something else in it.
It's pretty easy to catch his attention when he gets up to retrieve yet another book, if you want to talk to him. If the book you're looking for on folklore, astronomy, or abjuration magic has gone missing, there's a pretty decent chance it's in one of those piles. Sorry.]
Tea shop (early Mareuer, open to anyone)
[Urianger doesn't indulge in a lot of luxuries, but it's important to find good quality in the few he enjoys. He's examining the wares of a local tea shop, carefully sniffing at the samples. The selection is diverse, though, and most of the labels aren't quite familiar. Seeing the clerk busy helping someone else, he'll smile at a nearby fellow customer and strike up a conversation.]
Art thou familiar with the local brews? I should not be opposed to a recommendation, if thou hast any to offer.
Haven (all month, open to residents and visitors)
[The Exarch invited Urianger to take up a spare room in Haven when he arrived, which he accepted in lieu of trying to hunt down a roommate himself or - Twelve forbid - actually figure out how to earn money to pay rent somewhere. He's finding it nice, really, to live among other people again.
The time spent in Il Mheg seems to have affected his preferences for scenery somewhat; he still does most of his actual studying in his room, but when he's reading for relaxation he can be found lounging under a tree outside, or in common areas of the house if the weather is bad. He's also taken up actively tending to the garden when he's not reading somewhere, and can be found working among the plants at least a few afternoons a week.]

Renegade_one) or Discord (sylviaviridian#0158) and we'll discuss! It's safe to assume he's still learning his way around town and making friends with bookshop owners, if you want ideas to start with.]

Library
Enough to notice the man who'd been there before she'd arrived, staying after she'd left. And had been there multiple times.
So the next time she sees him put a book down, she's rising, walking over before he gets to the shelves.]
Do you know any books that are good at explaining how magic works?
no subject
Thou art certainly in the correct place to find such materials. Art thou interested in a particular school of magic, or an effect thou seekest to create?
no subject
... I just want a basic understanding of it. And what each type is so I know what to expect. I'm not capable of learning any.
no subject
[As he scans the titles, he continues.] If 'tis not too much to ask, what is thy concern, regarding the establishment of expectations?
no subject
Nothing like this exists where I'm from. I've ran into a few people and things that haven't seemed dangerous, but then told that they could have magic. [A threat she couldn't see at a glance.]
no subject
[He reaches out and selects a book from the shelf.] The limitations of magic in this place seem ill-defined even to native scholars, compared with those to which I am accustomed. [Flipping open the book, he scans the table of contents, and nods decisively before offering it to her.] Which is not to say that illumination of the basics is a useless pursuit. I believe this tome should provide a sufficient summary in the early chapters.
no subject
...I wasn't expecting you to know one just like that. Thank you.
no subject
I have merely been studying here long enough now to learn the system by which they are organized. Many of the tomes in this specific section [he waves a hand demonstratively over a portion of the bookshelf, including the one he pulled that book from] discuss the fundamentals of magic. The title of that one seemed likely to be apropos for one who cannot sense or cast it as a Witch does; and the table of contents bears out my supposition.
[Spoken like a man who's spent huge portions of his life in libraries in general.]
no subject
I hope I'm able to read it. Thanks again.
[She wasn't going to mention that she fell asleep on the last book she got recommended. Because she did intend to read this one.]
