The Wizard's Study

'What do you mean I can't work in the study today grandpa? I was really looking forward to working on the 5th and 6th level incantations!'
'Ah yes, yes of course. What a curious young mind you have, Renarin. Sadly, I have an important matter to attend to tonight that will be keeping me quite....occupied. I'm afraid I cannot risk any distractions.'
'...'
'Did you accidentally shrink someone again grandpa?'
'Renarin! Did I shr- why the NERVE. What absolute gall! I'll have you know I'm the 3rd highest ranked court wizard in this city! The very thought that I - Dremin the Terrible, would accidentally shrink one of the local fisherman is absolute fantasy!'
'Fisherman? ....Is that Mr. Fletcher's boat on the table? How did you manage that?'
'Renarin, your curiosity will be the death of me.'
'If you let me watch you work I won't tell Mrs. Fl-'
'I know, I know child. God's Beard. Come - grab those incantation books by the mantle and bring them over to my desk quickly - I think I can hear Mr. Fletcher cursing at me again.'
