[He's closed himself off. He thought it might help -- slow your surroundings to a standstill, and maybe everything going on inside would learn to slow as well. When he got control over himself, he could control this stupid magic of his that was given to him. He thought he'd be happy, getting back the gifts he was born into, but even with them, the storm inside had been roaring enough to keep him up night after night.

Which meant he'd been even more cut off than he'd intended.]

I can't sleep. I need to. Tell me...what to do.

[Simple as that. Just help him rest, please...]

Writing a list is different because it's giving you something. I know it's difficult to understand and for something as simple of as a list it's very silly but that's the way it is.

I can't give gifts. Or helpful tools. I can't give another person anything without something in return. Not even a list.

[Every item and present is held under the same rules and scales. Difficult as it may seem to live this way she's long since gotten used to it though it can still be a bit sad or frustrating from time to time.]

You may be surprised what you find in the library. Most books are more pictures than words and better yet you may find a plant that exists only in this world that will help with your sleeping problem. If that's the case, so long as there are seeds I can grow it for you no matter where we are.

[For a price... of course.]
