"The alethiometer says - it's not a runecaster and only runecasters can find runes. But..." (fiddle fiddle) "Given a vocabulary of runes, it could produce lists of them for spells."

"It doesn't sound like that big an improvement over my software, then, or at least the next version of the software," says Phix.

Permalink

"Still useful."

"I need to go back to obsessively finding runes, don't I."

It's not phrased like a question: he sounds pretty okay with obsessively finding runes, and excited and happy in general.

"What are you in college for?" wonders Ice.

"Maybe! I'll have to actually look up what's been invented in the last ten years - and for that matter make sure it matches up before that. Since we have witches and daemons and bears, oh my, although I guess you might not find the bears that remarkable."

Permalink

"People bears?"

Permalink

"People bears. Who wear armor and live way up north. And don't turn into humans."

Permalink

"Inconceivable," says Darren in a deadpan.

Permalink

"Yes, the only sane bears turn into humans."
