"Fine," the tome said.

"Cool, cool," said Nonstop.  "Do you need anything?  Any new ideas on finding your old associate?"

"I'm not really sure, but it is nice here," the Tome said.

"Okay, well, cool," said Nonstop.  He poked round the Ranch a bit before heading out, if there was nothing else to see there.

The day was passing seemingly without incident until your phone started to ring.

"Talk to me," said Nonstop, answering the phone.

"I think I might might have a lead on our missing magic man," Longbow said.

"Excellent," said Nonstop.  "Should I go to where you are?"

"I'll be at the in about fifteen or twenty minutes," Longbow said. "I'll meet you there."

He waited...

Longbow showed up in civilian clothes.

"Hey," he said, taking a seat.

"Hey yourself," said Nonstop.  "So, what's up?"

"I've been hitting up some contacts I have and got a few leads on who the magic man might be," Longbow said.

"Excellent," said Nonstop.  "So, what have you got?"

"To be honest, it's not much. Not even a name. Just that the magic world has a wandering figure known as 'The Well Dressed Man' who nobody knows anything about," Longbow said.

"It's a starting point, I guess," said Nonstop.  "I wonder if he's connected to the fires?  It might make sense that the fire was set for a purpose, instead of randomly..."

"Could be. We can always interrogate the powerbroker when we stop him," Longbow said.

"Yeah.  Need to find them first, though," said Nonstop.  "Any leads on that?"

"I have some rumours that he'd been seen around the southside. They say he's looking for something," Longbow said.

"Sounds like it has potential," said Nonstop.  "Let's check it out."

You arrived back at The Ranch.

"Hey, Tome," said Nonstop.  "I ran into the wizard.  Uh, he left again, but suggested that I should find someone for you to teach.  If you're interested, could you tell me what kind of people you're looking for?"

"I guess I need a new magic student," the tome said. "I mean, I kind of like it here though..."

"You don't have to leave," said Nonstop.  "What kinds of qualities make a good magic student?  My little sister is terrifyingly smart, but her background is in super-science... still, I could ask her."

"Inquisitive types are good, but often science and magic don't mix well in the same person," Tome said.
