*Just after midday Esgir set another tomw down, rubbing his forehead a bit; between all his studies of late he'd also been doing some thinking on another topic. Having decided to speak to the Empyrean, Marloff, about it, he got up and went to the dormitories in search of the mage. Knocking on his door*
"Marloff? Are ye free?"
"Very nice to hear you ask that." A huge grin covers Marloff's face. "I was going to get to asking you to join sooner or later. I was mostly waiting on a chance to ask others about the idea before bringing it up to you."
Marloff pauses and stands in silence for a moment.
"As to what it takes, well the first thing is the desire. You have that. Then there is the ever present need to translate text. You would need to be able to do that, for sure. Also, I believe that getting facts straight before presenting them to those outside of the docents is crucial and needs to be watched carefully."
*Nodding as he listened to the Empyrean.*
"Aye, aye kin do tha'."
*Nodding again.*
"Aye, there's been much anticipation an' near bloodshed of late over what seems t' be mostly speculation 'r hearsay; sortin' out truth from supposition seems t' be an important skill."
"I do not believe that we stand on ceremony much, here in the tower. So as far as I am concerned you are a member. Although all others will have a say in your joining." The Empyrean straightens his mustache with his fingers.
"I see no prevailing counter to your becoming a docent."
"You could be an asset to us."
"Welcome, my freind."
"Yes, Sir. I will be right down." Marloff shrugs off urge to continue his sleep and begins to rediscover his robes.
Soon he descends the staircase and enters the study where has been finding Esgir as of late.
