Say, if you're an alien, I have a question for you. What was your world like? Do you miss it? Please tell me about it if you feel like it. Did you get to fly a space ship? Was that fun? What kind of fun things did you do? Are humans weird? What's the weirdest thing about them? Do you like humans? Did you ever meet humans when you were an alien?

[Okay, that's a bunch of questions. But she doesn't self-correct.]

Also, does anyone here know how to do magic? And if you do, is it magic you can teach to anybody? I think it would be pretty neat to know how to do some magic, and it could come in handy sometime. If you do please let me know.

I am best at arcane enchantments and divination. It is a learnable skill that many humans have learned, although I don't know if people not from my world would be able to learn this style of spell, and some people are certainly born with more intrinsic talent for it than others.

What do arcane enchantments do? Also, what exactly can you divine?

[draconic_historian]

Put people to sleep, protect them in mystic armor, turn them invisible, change their size...All manner of things, really.

Divination is more difficult, but if I could get my hands on the right materials, the most practical use would be scrying. That is, watching places from far away through a crystal ball or similar viewing device. I could use a reflecting pool or a mirror, but with low quality components like that it's difficult to get more than a few miles of range.

That sounds really useful... have you considered trying to teach it to people here?

[draconic_historian]

No. I have not.

I might consider doing so in exchange for tribute, though.

Tribute like what?

[draconic_historian]

Treasure, Ideally. Gold coins, gems, jewelry, artwork...Magical tomes of lore would also be acceptable, though that seems unlikely given the low amount of magic in this world.

Given the rather limited means of transports, I would be willing to be haggled down to a rather low price.

Oh. [Man, that's a drag. Maybe on a mission sometime... but as of now, it's not an option.]

I don't have anything like that.

[draconic_historian]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[payback]

Well, thanks anyway.
