[Xzana was finally convinced that the sudden and strange influx of humans was really done and began emerging from the bottom of the lake more and more. Between feeling less crowded and the heavy rain she is in a remarkably good mood.

She dances in the rain for a bit and climbs a few trees. Then finally checks out that strange book that is always following her around. She had been told it was magic, but being unable to read it's never been something she cared much about. That is until she realized it talks! Listen to all the different voices!

Huh, but then the voices pause. She gives the book a shake. Huh, how do you get this silly thing to work. She drops it on the ground and bats at it. Managing to turn the video function on by mistake. She bounces back and forth for the camera in the rain. Prodding the book now and then.]

Talk magic book! [She circles the book, waiting for it to respond.] Speak again! [She gives it a gentle shove before jumping back a bit and running from it a bit before coming back.] Are you tired, book?

[Today she is full of energy and wanting to play. She'll be in possibly the best mood if anyone feels like braving the heavy rain and spot her playing with the book near the lake.]

[Laughs.] More like on the other side.

You know how you can see your reflection in the lake?

[Reflection...] I have seen the other me in water and glass.

Well, it's like that, eh?

Hm. Alright. [Seems a bit strange, but it's magic so she'll go with it. Nervously she approaches the book again.] So it's safe?

It is. It's just used for talking to other people in the village. That way you don't have to hunt everyone down individually.

My world uses snails, so I guess a book doing it doesn't seem so weird to me. [... Yup.]

Snails? [She would say how they don't talk, but books shouldn't talk either.]

These other worlds are very strange.

Aye, psychic snails, we call them den den mushi.

They are at that.

Hm. [Very strange.]

So then, every time I open this book others with their books open can hear me?

[She's getting the hang of this, right?]

Aye. They'll have to open their own books or have it set to tell them about it, but yes.

Interesting... that must be a powerful spell.

I suppose so. Something about the innate magic in this place, eh?

What does the word innate mean?

In-born, something from deep inside due to how it was made, eh.

Oh. [Nope, she's lost. Whatever, it's magic.] Does your book also follow you around?

Kind of. I don't know if it's magically set up to, because I've never tried to outrun it, but yours still found you somehow, right?

It does. If I forget it down stream it eventually appears up near me again.

That sounds about right then. I wonder why the Malnosso would give us something so useful though.

The Malnosso? [Hm, she vaguely remembers being told something about them... didn't seem important at the time.]

Right the people who brought us here and gave us the extra wings and books.

How strange. I do not understand their way of thinking.

No worries, I don't think anyone here does understand it, eh. So you're certainly not alone in that.

It is magic. [That's all that needs to be said.] Very useful magic. [The best kind!]

Aye!

Like a den den mushi without the snail.

[He is just so weird.]

I suppose.

I will need to keep better care of this book from now on.

I cheat and strap it to my belt. Maybe you can ask the blacksmiths for a harness or something to keep it close by?
