WhimsicalCow *smiles towards Luke* Bard taught me all of the alphabet. I'll have te keep practicing, but I think perhaps I've made a fair start. I'm well, Tavin. I hope ye are also? I'm okay, Maggie. Were you trying to read this book? It's not in English, dear. It's in Angelic Script.

*smiles sheepishly at Tavin* Oh my, that's a relief. I was afraid I'd forgotten several letters already.

*Tavin held out a hand and a book appeared in it, red and leatherbound, it seemed to be almost exactly the same as the book he was reading, except that it seemed to be written in English*
Here you go, Maggie. You can practice with this book. But you have to promise me something. Nobody else reads it. Nobody. And I'll want it back when you're done practicing with it, okay?

Tell me then, Maggie.

Well . . . I promised Bard I'd practice my letters, and I have been. But . . . I also promised ye that I'd practice what ye taught me, and, te be honest, I'm not at all sure how te go about it.

So you want to practice the ability to retrieve things from outside The Brink? Is that what you need help with?

*listening to what Maggie and Tavin are saying, Luke's curiosity gets the better of him.*
*responds to Maggie, though preoccupied* It was fine. I go back again today...
You can get things from outside the Brink? While you're in it?

*Tavin nods*
Well, it always starts out with a want. You must want something. Because if you don't know what you want to get, there's no way that you can get it. So think of something small that you would like to get. Something small and simple to start off. Okay?
*Tavin turns to Lucas*
If you have a talent for it, then yes, you can. Hopefully, Maggie will show us here shortly.

*Luke watches the two of them, uncertain as to what he thinks or feels about it.* *...No ******** way, he thinks to himself. But then again.....The Brink brought him here, didn't it?*

Just as she waited hopefully for an answer that might help her friend, Tavin had disappeared. She paced around waiting until maybe someone could come back...
Finally, she saw the man appear again.
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to interrupt..." she approached him, "but you were beginning to say something last night..."

Okay, Maggie. Now go back in your mind and remember when you saw it, and think about that one thing. Let it fill your mind as you see every tiny detail. Think of how it feels, think of how it smells, how it tastes, how it sounds.... Imagine each and every thing about until the picture of it in your mind is so real that you could reach out and touch it. Then imagine it sitting next to you on the table. Think of how it lays there, of how the light plays on it. Picture it sitting right next to you on the table, so real that you could simply.... pick it up.
