"Never knew we had a summoner."
"Summoner? Nah, I'm a Shifter. Tried it once though, didn't like it, hate those animals." The wizened mage said. Lucifer was trying to remember if he'd read about Shifters yet...Animals, right?
"Well, I did nae see any wildlife fightin' with us yesterday. We seem to have everythin' -"
Grubeck seemed to linger on a thought for a second midway through taking a glup as Lucifer spoke, then suddenly leaned across the table to cut his sentence off. The half-missing face still managing anger frighteningly well.
"No wildlife?" Grubeck sits back. "No vicious wolf tearing apart soldiers? No bear ripping out a juggernaut's throat? The fire raining down from the sky? That. Was. Me."He then seemed to cough on purpose into his hand. "...And a harpy..."
"Hey! I didn't mean nae offence, mate! Maybe I was in the wrong bit of the field or somethin'. I just didn't see anythin'. I'm only askin' yeh some questions." Lucifer said, raising his hands defensively as Grubeck settled back down.
"To see spirits, it takes years of meditation and practice for a shaman such as myself."
Which I ain't got...Lucifer thought to himself.
"Buuuuut there is a quick way. You must be exposed to magic multiple times, over and over, again and again. After could you use meditation to quickly control The Sight. It's dangerous but easy to prepare and could be done in a day. Even I could do it!"

"Righ'..." Lucifer mumbles. So, in order to even get into this stuff, he's got to be shocked for hours and hours? Makes Lucifer sound like a lantern being filled up. Now, this might be a quick thing but...What constitutes 'quickly' here? Days, hours? Minutes maybe? And what would the Shaman have to do to him? It just sounds unnecessarily painful somehow. It could be the ghoulish appearance of Grubeck that inspires such a thought but...The guy seems a little...unhinged too...

"I'm going to capture a griffon!" Grubeck announced, suddenly standing up. Well, there's all the evidence needed that this guy was a little bit nuts. Maybe magic does that too you? The book skips over accounts of Summoners gaining more and more control over wild life and touched on managing to take over more intelligent species. Maybe the power sends you nuts?

Eitherway, that Earth Mage back there seemed to have some sort of edge over him. Magic could be handy.

"Free drinks on me! For you, you, you, and that harpy over there!" Grubeck seats himself again, turning to Lucifer.
"The name's Grubeck by the way. Got any questions? Or more of 'em books?"
"Yeh. I got them off this mage back at camp just before he finished treating me wounds. I weren't too beat up but he was happy to give them to me. Seemed eager to get rid of them actually. I found that the Summoner one made a lick o' sense to me but I got a few basic ones on elements an' shootin' different types o' sparks like fireworks. I got them in the cart." Lucifer said, looking at the books cover then setting it down.
"So!" He continued, lacing his fat fingers in front of him on the table. "What exactly would you have to do to meh in order to get me seeing Reigns? Ghost stings don't sound all tha' hard teh be honest. And, do yeh think this could get done before we leave tomorrow? I know I wouldn't be wrangling anythin' more deadly than a bunny but-" He shrugs," Worth a go righ'?"
"Oh! And, err...The name's Lucifer. Lucifer Bedfellow." He was still trying to place Grubeck on the battlefield. Lucifer must have been far away from anyone around here at that point. He kept hearing mumbles about taking down juggernauts all the way here.
