One corner of Alex's mouth curled up slightly in appreciation of the pun and grabbed a chicken leg eagerly consuming it. He would've eaten more  but he had a feeling he would want to be able to run when they were looking for familiars. He grabbed an apple and a drink as well, better to have and not want then to want and not have after all. He frowned as he examined the rune carefully, it was rather complicated and took some time to draw. In addition you had to entirely encircle your familiar of choice. This might be more difficult then he thought.

 "So essentially we either have to knock out, immobilize, or befriend our target before we are able to use the rune. Hold on a moment," Alex took out a paper and a piece of charcoal painstakingly copying the design onto the parchment. "There." he said satisfied with his reproduction and putting his tools away. He could've just asked for the rock with the design on it, but that would've felt too much like mooching. He barely noticed Sapphire before she left. "So then are we free to seek our familiar?" Alex questioned. The whole thing was somewhat less formal than he was expecting.
