"Monsters...?" Cosette offered helpfully. It wouldn't surprise her, the Syliran categorized Sahovan wizards in two classes. The studious sane ones who only seemed crazy because they were so absorbed in their quest for more knowledge, and then there were the ones who were genuinely crazy and were after knowledge because they wanted to use it for some nefarious design. "I suppose you're right..." "I don't have a trade I can really ply, so I have no need to build a shop like you do. A simple cottage would do..." nevermind the fact that she had no need for food, that made things considerably easier... though she did miss the sensation of hunger. Food always tasted better when she was hungry, or did it? The memory seemed so distant now and it had only been a few years... did Jilitse even think about that. "...Really?" well, that was a bit of a revelation. Cosette was convinced that every Sahovan nuit was learned in at least one branch of personal magic. Even Farke had made sure that she was equipped with the working knowledge of one before he allowed her to join him on her first visit to the undead citadel. "...I honestly found it easy, though perhaps it has to do with my circumstances. You see, I do not like who I am presently and... the essence of Morphing is to discard your sense of identity, to become something else entirely and that was quite easy for me to grasp." "Now that I look back at it though, I was pretty foolish back then for recklessly learning this skill... it seemed convenient, so I overlooked the dangers... you on the other hand, I believe your caution is worth commending, it suggests that you have great patience and self-control... a quality I am sorely lacking in." She pondered Jilitse's words but ultimately decided that the time was not right, she had to prepare herself mentally before she could teach the other nuit, and she definitely had to find somewhere private enough that she could use her ability without holding back for Jilitse's convenience. "Today is no good... I think tomorrow would be better. I may have to contemplate on the fundamentals of Morphing and it may take me awhile to compile something like a lesson plan. I don't have a scholar's mind like you and I've never taught anyone before... so I have to approach this with care. I was told dabbling in magic yourself was one thing, but teaching it is an entirely different matter." she did not even explain how she felt that she would be responsible if Jilitse ever overgave in the future. |
