It was a brilliant idea. Nilen had not practiced his penmanship to any respectable degree, but his tribe did practice calligraphy as a means of artistry and magical seals for those proficient enough in the spiritualist arts. If he could record his interactions and feelings as he explored and met new races throughout the galaxy, that knowledge could be a valuable asset to his people. The knowledge itself could be the vital resource or tool that he brought back. Such knowledge was not unlike what a few of his ancestors had brought to the tribe when they returned from their pilgrimages, but with him having this rare opportunity to travel with a ruler from another culture, his knowledge and understanding could be that much more vital.
Nilen smiled widely and nodded enthusiastically."A remarkable evolution, indeed. You may not realize it, Azoth, but you've just given me a brilliant idea for how I can aid my tribe. I'll need to gather some calligraphy supplies before we embark. I assume it's possible to do so in the city, correct? Merchants sell wares in cities, after all. Or so I've been told."
He paused after a moment and shook his head, "I apologize if I'm getting ahead of myself. You made a valid point about recording that knowledge. If I can bring detailed records and understandings of my interactions with other peoples and my exploration of their planets, that knowledge could be of immense benefit to my tribe. Maybe it could even convince them that hiding in the dunes isn't the right path for our people to take. Only time will tell, I suppose. Thank you for this opportunity, though. Truly."
