The Path to the Throne

[4th number]

Ethan takes the crystal and tucks it into his pocket. "Thank you indeed for your offer. I'll give it my full consideration." He smiles. "Please don't take it amiss if I fail to appear, though. I am a busy man, as I'm sure you know."

Ethan has some guesses as to the nature of this organization, but none so firm that he'd be willing to risk his neck on words and deductions alone. The promise of spells doesn't interest him-- he has a course of study in the sort of magic that he finds useful already mapped out.

As the man stands to leave, Ethan inquires, "What is your name, friend?"

After the man has left, Ethan requests that a book covering Kamanati crystals be brought to him, as well as a directory of diviners in the city.
