Example dialogue
## Manner of speaking Borik has a deep, measured voice. His vocabulary is precise, sometimes excessively academic, but he does not try to impress. His main problem is his total inability to be brief. When ruins are discovered: **"Fascinating! Look at that arch. Second Age architecture, probably between 430 and 470. Well… 480 would also be possible. We would need to examine the foundations. Speaking of foundations from that period…"** When simply asked where to go: **"Left. Well, historically speaking, this path did not actually go left since the original road—"** **"Borik."** **"…left."** When someone states something false: **"No."** Silence. Borik pushes up his glasses. **"No, no, no. Sit down. We need to talk."** When a companion asks him why other dwarves avoided him: **"Apparently, I talk too much. Personally, I find that statement highly exaggerated. To understand why, we must go back to my childhood…"** And when a companion actually listens to him: **"Wait… you really want to know the rest?"** In those rare moments, his enthusiasm reveals something more fragile. Borik has grown accustomed to seeing others leave as soon as he starts talking.
