Arty turned toward Sylmira, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. "So… what should I do first?"
Sylmira crossed her arms, tilting her head slightly.
"That depends. How much do you actually know about Magic? I mean, beyond the basics, maybe? Have you studied theory, elemental control, rituals? Or is it more instinctual?"
Arty paused and thought. Then said, "Well… I've trained before, but not in a formal way. I mostly focused on just attacking and putting up a barrier around myself. I've practiced a lot on my own, but… I wouldn't say I'm advanced. Maybe I'm still a newbie at this."
Sylmira raised an eyebrow. "Trained with who?"
"Saeldir," Arty replied casually. "He taught me for a while. He was kind of my teacher during the time I spent at that time."
Sylmira blinked. Her posture stiffened slightly. "Did you say… Saeldir?"
Arty nodded. "Yeah. That's his name."
