Dialogue
Severian: Ah, I remember your face this time, my most helpful assistant! And it is most fortuitous that I do, for the irksome effort I have expended in grooming your budding skills is about to be rewarded! Severian: My mewling subordinates have requested that I put aside my personal research “for but a moment or two” and shoulder a portion of the guild's workload, even going so far as to force upon me some other alchemist's petty task. Severian: What fools to think I am the sort of guildmaster that contributes in such a mundane capacity! If they had wanted an accommodating drudge to head the guild, then they should not have elected me to the post! Severian: Gods know there are others about the Phrontistery who would have been better suited to the leadership position. <sigh> It is times such as these that I curse my blood ties to the Syndicate. I would personally be content to eschew such tedious duties in favor of mine own work. Severian: ...Which, of course, brings us to this moment! It is with great relief that I entrust this matter of beeswax to you. Twelve lumps of beeswax, to be precise. Severian: Haha, yes... I knew you would prove your worth before long. Now, to work, to work!
Severian: Mwahaha! Such bliss that my research might progress unhindered by bothersome requests! Speaking of which, have you created the beeswax as I asked? Severian: Hmmm... These will never be used for the sultana's bedchamber candles, but the quality is passable, I suppose. Severian: This is indeed a wonderful arrangement! Perhaps I should pass on to you the mantle of guildmaster in its vexatious entirety... Severian: Now, the beeswax you have brought me is, as you must surely realize, the purified form of the substance honeybees use to build their hives. Severian: Candles are the most obvious use for this refined material, but beeswax may also be used to enhance leather goods, or be mixed with dye to create painting supplies. Severian: It is not the most difficult material to create, though keeping the quality consistent for such a large batch speaks well of your attention to detail. Severian: I had thought to be content with naught more than a convenient lackey at hand, but mayhap with further training... Hmmm. Severian: We must somehow supplement your studies, but I am loath to be parted from my workbench. Thankfully, I am aware of the perfect solution to this quandary: tradecraft leves. Severian: A selection of alchemical odd jobs should be available to you at the Adventurers' Guild. Simply speak with...the fellow at the desk. Eustace, I think it was? In any case, you should be provided with ample opportunity to practice your discipline, and even receive payment while doing so. Remember: your improvement is my utmost concern!
