There's an inkstained gentleman, writing furiously in a booth. His fingers have ink on them, his hand has ink on it where it's been brushing the page, his shirt cuff has ink on it where it's been dragged. His forehead has ink on it where black fingers pushed hair out of his face.
He hasn't eaten because he's been writing and he looks incredibly excited to be nearly finished-- not even nearly-- here. We. Are.
Yes.
Telemain puts down the pen with a triumphant 'hah' and straightens up for an immediate head rush from sitting one way too long. He looks like he's about to die, possibly. But! He'll die happy.
First things first, the waitrat is flagged for more tea. Someone tell him to take a breath and eat something, for heaven's sake.

That doesn't make any sense to Will but clearly Telemain is proud of it, so there is nodding.
no subject
Lets see if he can explain this.
no subject
The grin has faded as Will looks more serious as he thinks on this question.

More than that, there are cases all over the map; only those who are worthy may pass through this stream. Do not drink this water or be turned to stone, and of course, each man without patience drinks. Cases of magic as not a tool, but as a positive force. Or at least, an aligned force, or at least, a balance."

He's still hashing it out.

He pats the papers affectionately.

The concept of paper writing is still quite strange to Will and Telemain is perhaps not the best person to explain it.
no subject
Telemain... no, wasn't meant to be a teacher.
"There are different sorts."
no subject
Well he's got a curious young man with lots of questions so perhaps he should learn.

Anything.

Telemain can't imagine why on Earth you'd want to write about something like love.

"Aye, sir, like knowin' 'ow 'ard to swing a staff or a blade dependin' on 'ow much ye wish to 'urt someone? Though would be useful if twere guides for 'ow women worked since askin' other women just seems to make it worse."

Duck away from the topic yet again.
"Those are more difficult, they require precise measurements."
no subject
They do this becuase they know it makes Will blush, which is a bit of a sport for modern women at least some in Bar.
no subject
Will is not focusing!

Morwen is not the point, here.
"I think it would be best if I went home. I should sleep."
no subject
Will is still grinning but he's not going to tease anymore, at least not tonight.
no subject
He leaves quietly.
