No? But you're so versed in magic. You didn't pick that up from there?

I did. But, um, it is usually young people they accept. Teenagers, or younger ones at first.

Um, I learned a lot there. But the people in charge of it are, um… I would not put my trust in them. And they are not interested in helping anyone learn about magic who will not go on to serve the Empire’s interests.

That fellow, at the Harvest tournament, who interrogated Yasha so much. Do you remember him? He was a teacher there, when I went.

Oh, alright? I see, so it's -- it's one of those. He was an odd fellow, yeah. Intense.

Did you mention this to me already? Where you're at and you know me. Have I already dropped this idea of going to the Soltryce Academy?

Very odd, yes. [He is a dangerous man.] You have not said as much, but I have the sense maybe it is not your priority? You found something when we were on a job for the Gentleman that seemed to give you a different direction. And we went north, and could have gone through Rexxentrum, but it did not bother you to take a different route.

Beauregard would know better than I would.

Noted.

Yeah, it's... there's a few different things I wanted to pursue, but admittedly, I haven't had the clearest direction. [ A glimmer of frustration, defeat, an ever-present confusion. ] Soltryce Academy was just one of the first material things I could tackle. A point on the map I could head to.

[ Through the thoughtshare you can hear a single, booming word -- LEARN. ]

...It doesn't have to be Soltryce, or Rexxentrum. Wherever you guys want to go is fine by me.
