Kerryk: Someone must teach kra how to write straight…
-Kra starts scribbling on the book, correcting the mistakes.-
Kerryk: Here, take it back to Gardr, please.

-Arion holds out his hand.-
YOU: Here you go, a circle.
Arion: Give me a minute.
Arion: Lucky for you I just happen to have my book on the Kran language.
Arion: I could probably do it from memory but it helps to confirm things.
-Arion starts scribbling frantically on a blank book, reading Gardr's draft every now and then and checking his Kran book.-
Arion: Finished, that was easy.
Arion: Here, your book!

YOU: Gardr needs you to copy some books. Five copies please.

Jayose: Got it.
Jayose: That will be quite expensive, but I'll send kra the price later.
Jayose: Give me some minutes.
-Jayose starts fiddling around his desk, murmuring words and placing blank books over it. He puts the translated manual and the drawings over the pile of books and starts casting a spell.-
Jayose: Wait a bit, please.
-Some minutes pass…-
-Jayose checks on a book then rolls his eyes and mumbles.-
Jayose: …like I'm some sort of copy making machine.
