	Zorian wracked his brains for a moment. He did get a pretty good look at the patrons of the tavern when he was scanning them, trying to spot Haslush, but he never actually counted them. And ~~its~~ possible someone left the tavern while he was talking to Haslush without him noticing it.		Zorian wracked his brains for a moment.

	He reached into the pockets of his long coat and placed a number objects on the table in front of them: a sealed envelope, an old pocket watch, a locked box, some kind of giant nut, a spell rod, and a fancy-looking glove.

	"Analyzing objects is something I do a lot, so I figure it's a good thing to start with. Identifying what the object does, finding out who handled them last, what kind of ~~magics~~ and protections are placed on it… you could make an entire career out it, and some do," Haslush said. "I hear you're interested in a job at the spell forges so this is bound to be rather useful for you."		"Analyzing objects is something I do a lot, so I figure it's a good thing to start with.

	"No we should not!" snapped Zorian. The snail wobbled in the air, ~~it's~~ eyestalks swinging wildly as it sensed its bonds weakening and redoubled its efforts.

	Zorian read the article in stony silence.

	Was this the reason for all those short restarts? Because Zach wanted to kill a dragon? Zorian wasn't sure what to think about that. On one hand, the mage dragon was a menace, and killing him was an impressive feat. On the other hand, it seemed like a waste of time and effort – what did Zach really gain from this, other than combat experience? Dragon ~~magics were~~ of no use to humans, and Zach was already so rich that he wouldn't gain much from Oganj's hoard.		Was this the reason for all those short restarts?

	Whatever game Zach was playing, Zorian couldn't figure it out. Or did the other time traveler just do whatever popped into his head at any particular moment?
