: Zak blushes and grins, happy to be of
: use....and happy that her artistic skills
: seem to be much better HERE than they ever
: were at home.
: After doodling up the various requests for
: Kimmy and Ashleyien, she looks around at
: the others. "Anyone else?"
: She also gets an idea and doodles something
: unrecognizable in her book, then tears out
: the page (gasping a little as she suddenly
: realizes it feels like tearing out a
: handful of hair), and folding it carefully
: before handing it to Sterling. "It's
: a portal to the city- just unfold it when
: you need it. Just don't forget to pull it
: in after you, or it'll just hang there for
: anyone to blunder through....The Realm has
: enough wayward portals already, I
: think."
: Once everyone's ready, she scribbles again
: and opens the book wide, setting it
: carefully on the ground. Something blue
: and swirling grows from it, growing wider
: and more blinding, making a neat whooshing
: noise as it does. It seems to part, like
: a swirling ring, and they can dimply see
: trees and a sheep-dotted field beyond.
: "That's the one in the direction of
: the swamp...I'll do the other after
: they're through."

"Yes, Zaki, might I have that small notebook and self inking quill I asked for earlier? And a small but pretty pouch to put them in? They would be ever so useful.." And Bubbles smiles hopefully at Zak.
