He pulls out a sheaf of notes - written very small and to the edges, to make use of the space on his last few pages until the Knight returned from their supply run. He moves the Arcane Egg beside it.
Then he lifts one of the new quills. In miniature to fit in the limited space, he draws a circle with a freehand spirograph-like symbol inside it. It sits neatly over the top of one of the few parts he couldn't directly translate, like a little asterisk.

He skips a couple of words (if they're words at all) and points to the next translation with the nib of the pen. "This bit means 'grudge', or something like it. Seems not everyone forgot this Higher Being you mentioned. Or at least, the written word can't forget."
He pauses unsure.
"I was wondering where I'd seen the Moth symbol recently. It's not something I see a lot of, but I know it when I see it." A... markedly suspicious squint. "You waved something at me, didn't you?"
