[ Maruki can't help but laugh as he looks through the contents of the tote – but it's a soft, appreciative sort of thing. Vil's preoccupation with his physical appearance bothers him less now that he knows it comes from a good place... And frankly, now that he knows Vil had nothing to do with The Webby Situation. That has been a larger thorn in his side than he's ever likely to admit.

The clothes are beautifully made – unlike anything he's ever had before. He may not be particularly vain, or even slightly fastidious about his appearance, but Maruki appreciates the hard work and careful creativity that goes into such craftsmanship. He's admiring one of the shirts when he hears Vil speak about his magic and looks up again.

It's a heartwarming sight, seeing him reunited with the tome clasped against his chest. It must be similar to how he felt the first night Azathoth returned to him. Having powers returned, yes, but also having a true reminder of home – like seeing an old friend you'd missed so very much.

Maruki watches with open fascination and delight as the book floats before him and then grins at Vil, eyebrows raised.

Very cool, Vil-kun.

[ It's genuine. Maruki has seen a lot in Somnius thus far, but nothing like this – real Magic magic, as if from a movie about witches and wizards.

He settles the tote down onto the armchair he uses during his sessions, trades it for the box he brought over for this specific purpose. It's nondescript, an old apple box from one of the stands in the market that a gelfling kindly let him have. Inside he's already begun fashioning dividers to turn it into some sad semblance of a filing cabinet. The things one settles for in a medieval rural shithole.

If you wouldn't mind... This is what I want to use for my patient files. I'd like to be the only one able to open it and read the contents. If you can think of any other way to fortify that magic, please, by all means– you're the expert here. I trust your judgment.
