While writing the note, Toz figured he might as well play one last prank, so he doodled a little on the receptionist's face as he slept on the desk in the back room. When he finished, he and the cats left the Resource Center and returned to their tent.
Nil wanted to start reading his grimoire as soon as possible. And Toz and the others, mainly Mindle and Scrael, wanted to go back and deepen their understanding of the ways of magic by thinking about the weird ways to use magic they had found in the grimoires. Since Asilean never found any grimoires of his elements, he felt a little left out, but he just turned his focus to improving his magic in the way he had started doing since they got to the battlefield.
Nil focused on his grimoire. Mindle sank into her own mind as she began reflecting on the knowledge they obtained while reading about the grimoires, and Toz and Scrael did the same while alternatingly going through the grimoire.
