ATIEN: Anyway, this is the scroll thing you wanted to see.
EFRIX: And this was found... in the very first room?
ATIEN: Yeah, why?
EFRIX: It just seems a bit odd that an Epsilonian scroll would be left in such an easy to reach location.
ATIEN: Says the one who didn't think he could open it without a key. :p
EFRIX: Quiet. I only avoided breaking it open because I did not want to risk damaging its contents.
EFRIX: It's a wonder how the glass bottle containing the potion remained perfectly fine even after you recklessly broke the chest open.
ATIEN: Aaaaanyway.
ATIEN: What's Epsilonian? I've never heard of that before.
EFRIX: Of course you have never heard of it. It's not from here.
ATIEN: What do you mean?
EFRIX: I mean it originates from another world.
ATIEN: ...And I'm guessing you don't mean the emeronze mines or the moon colony?
EFRIX: Correct.
ATIEN: So you're saying... there's life out there, after all??
EFRIX: Agh geez, I've already said too much about it. Never mind forget I said anything.
ATIEN: Dude, you can't just tell me something that huge and then leave it at that!
EFRIX: Your argument makes no sense! I never even meant to say what I did! Why should I now be obligated to tell you the rest due to a slip of the tongue?
ATIEN: I mean... I guess you don't have to. But it's something I've been wondering pretty much my whole life, and it would really suck to learn this but never know anything more about it.
EFRIX: It's not like I want to keep it from you, it's just... dangerous to let too much of this information out. Saying why might only make things worse - hell, even I don't fully understand why.
EFRIX: I've come this far; I can't just let things go wrong now.
ATIEN: I understand, I'll drop the subject. Just promise you're not planning to destroy the world or anything like that?
EFRIX: What, you think that's even close to being in my scope of ability? Think of how ridiculous that notion is. I doubt even the most powerful of rulers would be able to conquer the entire planet, let alone destroy it - especially not some nobody astronomer like me! And even if I could, why would I? I am not a bad person.
ATIEN: I... didn't mean to imply that you were. I'm sorry.
EFRIX: No, don't worry about it.
ATIEN: ...So, uh. What is this scroll? Anything you can tell me?
EFRIX: Sure. It depicts a magic spell used for augmented supernatural abilities, with uses ranging from assistance in mundane tasks, to combat techniques, to pointless spells that exist just because they can.
ATIEN: You could probably make a better use of it than I can, then.
EFRIX: Hm... no, this one is useless to me. From a glance, it seems to work in tandem with large amounts of physical strength, strength which I do not have.
ATIEN: Oh. Then maybe I could use it..?
EFRIX: Theoretically, yes. But you can't read Epsilonian, can you?
EFRIX: And I don't know if teaching it to you would be dangerous or not...
ATIEN: Well. This may seem a bit crazy, but what if I were to join you on your mission or journey or whatever it is you're doing? Would you be able to teach it to me then?
EFRIX: And this was found... in the very first room?
