A quick drawing for my friend Daniel. It is him as a moogle~
He is a historical linguist and he blathers about it a lot. Which I dont mind. X3

The poem on the book reads as (in modern Japanese)

天の海に雲の波立ち月の舟星の林に
漕ぎ隠る見ゆ
[Ame no umi ni kumo no nami tachi tsuki no fune hoshi no hayashi ni
kogi komoru miyu.]
"On the sea of the heavens, waves of clouds rise up, the moon's ship, in a forest of stars—
it rows to hide, so it seems."
