Nod. "When do you expect to leave?"

"When is convenient for you?"

"Oh, I enjoy the company. But we must offer you gifts for the journey, before you go. I do not know that you are prepared for it."

"I imagine we are not. Is it far?"

"Perhaps four times further than the farm you came from."

She nods. "I can keep us warm with magic but would be ill-equipped to handle any trouble on the road."

"Mmm. We do not have business in Reykjavik, and it is a long time to be without a man. But it is not very safe for a woman to ride so far alone."

"I imagine it wouldn't be." Not without Rope Trick and something to scare off wildlife. She should at least have purchased Magic Missile at some point, it was stupid not to. 

He strokes his beard thoughtfully.

"Perhaps when the harvest is over," he says. "If you do not want to make the ride alone."

"I would be very grateful for you to accompany me at that time."

"It's a long ride for an old man. One of my foster sons would serve better."

"Of course. Whatever's convenient."

"We will determine that when the time comes, then. In the mean time you are welcome to stay with us."

"I am very grateful. I hope that I can teach you some of my peoples' magic while I am here."

"I would be curious to learn more about it, if you wanted to share. Of course it would be entirely understandable if you wished to save your spells for yourself."

"My spells do not work the way yours do. They can be resisted even by people who do not know them. I would be happy to teach you one."

"What sorts of magic can you work?"

"I can do silent illusions. I can protect a person from heat or cold. I can make a horse. I can store my spellbook in the Ethereal Plane. I can make the unseen servant. I can share my language with others, or speak all languages for a little while. I can heat or cool liquids, or flavor them, and clean fabric, and mend it, and I can throw very weak lightning bolts."

"You can make a horse?"

"Yes. It lasts only a few hours, and vanishes if it's killed."

"How interesting. I've never heard of anyone working such a spell."

"Conjuration is the magic of summons and teleports. It sounds like you might not have developed anything similar."

"Perhaps we haven't. How is it done?'

- sure, she can give an introductory lecture on conjuration spells, as best as she remembers it. They are all interplanar; they project a pattern across a plane or shortcut through one or pull something over from one to another. The scaffolding goes like so and you prepare a simple conjuration cantrip like this. Presumably he has something like Detect Magic so he can see what she's doing.

He is absolutely rapt, and wants her to repeat things several times. If she shows him the written elements of the spell then he will have many questions about how to make sense of that, too.
