[Atsirian]
I have to say, I am not sure what to make of this!
We don't truly write in books in Kavan, we are more used to chalk and slate. It makes for easier cleanup, you see. If we really must use paper, we stick to charcoal on full sheets of parchment to be bound together later, not pen and ink.
It is much less messy, so far as I can tell. My hand keeps smearing the ink over what I have just written, and I imagine this is terribly hard to read as a result. I' m sure I'll get used to it eventually, but now I'm mostly worried about if this ink will wash off my hands easily. I can hardly show up to campaign tomorrow with black marks all over my fingers; people will wonder what I have been doing.
Though I have to say, this does seem like a very convenient communication method. I believe I have gotten the idea of how it works from a bit of reading, though I would never say no to a bit of assistance. Ah, and introductions, I have forgotten my manners -- I am Firuz, and it is a pleasure.
