Bestowal Dialogue

'It gets so boring down here. These other guards aren't the best conversationalists, you know. I wonder, would you be able to obtain a book for me?'

She leans in close, as though to tell you a secret.

'There's a specific one I'm after. "A Smouldering Fire." It's very... academic.

'There's a bookseller to the north, just outside Khabârkhad in an area called Tilmakhím, the Cross-roads. 'Here, take a few coins for the bookseller. Would you be able to get this book for me?'

'It's rats this, rats that. They get in the books, my hair, they get in everything. I've tried to make the best of it.

'Maybe tonight I'll finally stop dreaming of a gallant rat prince to take me away to his rat kingdom, where all the houses are made of discarded grain and the carriages spin on wheels of ale cheese.'
She stops abruptly.
'Never mind. My dreams are my own business. Kindly take the book and be off with you.'
