Sitting down at Tony's desk you realize that all the papers infront of you are various maps, older homade ones of what you guess of Port-Tailus, but the newer ones are the forest and a couple of the surrounding plains to the east and a set of ruins toward the north, after a couple of minutes just checking out Tony's map you hear a ding and a familiar translucent glowing message panel to appeared directly before my eyes:

It looks like my Cartography skill just git more useful, I open my mental map, see Port-Tailus in far more detail the guild hall being a named location, zooming in even further you can see the a very simplified layout of the room that your in. Dismissing the map I look over to the Red tome beside me, the Bestiary.
The red leather is abnormally warm to the touch. It's still written in a language that I can't understand, thankfully the book is full of colorful illustrations, I turn the pages seeing familiar video game common monsters slimes, mushroom monsters, over size insects like the Vespin, even some humaniod monsters like undead and goblins. Another beep catches my attention, then my status panel reappears:

"Huh this is really cool" I summon the recorded copy of the Bestiary, the translucent panel appears. Mentally I'm able to flip through the pages all of it being auto translated for me to be able to read. I look over at the green tome by the drying station intrested in trying to analyze that next. But before I could move there was a knock at the door then Tony entered the room carrying two plates of various breads and meats. On sight my stomach started growling.
"Haha looks like your hungry" He sets down the food infront of me before sitting on his own desk besides me and starts digging in. I was a little worried about making a mess at first but seeing Tony go to town I let my ravenous hunger take over. The food was delicious, finally full I laid-back on the chair rubbing my stomach. I look over at Tony seeing him licking is lips staring right at me.
"I've been thinking, you can't stay indoors all day and my gear needs to be repaired, so maybe you should spend the day in town, as me?"
