[ phew, that's a relief. but given what annabeth is learning about this world and the variety of summoned folks, she can never be too sure about the book knowledge - especially considering the different notions of what a book is. a scroll? a manuscript? papyrus? vellum? there are a lot of options! ]

They say anyone can learn magic here. It doesn't really work that way for me back home, but our concept of magic is different.

[ annabeth remains unsurprised she has been summoned if they're looking for heroes. she has served as a hero too many times, it's honestly getting a little old at this point. ]

I'm pretty new, so I'm still learning a lot about this place too. You don't have anything that might be even a little similar where you're from?
