>"Try calling the book to yourself, dear. I want to see something."
>So it is not The Gimoire, even if depowered, but rather just a copy?
>Hold out a hand.>"Let me see it. From what I can gather, it has more or less drained into you."
>"This isn't the Grimoire. I'm pretty sure you've absorbed it completely."
>Shake head.>"This isn't it. I don't know where the thing got to, if it's even still a separate thing to get to."
>Nod.>"And it doesn't seem you can separate even the old physical form of the Grimoire from yourself, if I'm right. That leads me to suspect it's simply not there to be separated anymore."
>Waaaa~>"In short, you ate it."
>"In a figurative sense, but essentially the same thing."
>"Just as much as your supper last night, if I'm right."
>"Not at this point. It may not be possible at all. It's a small part of why I kept the thing put away to begin with."
>"It's more like I was saving it in case I needed it. Oh well, let's worry about it later. Show me what you've been working on?"
>Can we explain how we did that in any meaningful way?>"And I see you've been busy with other things, in the meantime."
>"You're a quick study, it looks like. Show me what you're proud of?"
>Give it a look over. Does it seem like it's made to deal with the wind proper, and able to take its own weight indefinitely, and so on?
>"Mmm. Not too bad. But, are these foundations just like those from home?"
