Hello, Nick.
I’ve a minute. Perhaps even two.

[ teasing! ]

Certainly. In Faerûn, all can experience the Weave and learn to call upon it — and you’re a clever sort, besides. I see no reason why you couldn’t learn.

[extent]

really?
ok amazing!

cause like i'm not going to lie i have wanted to learn that hand thing since the first time i saw it

[corporeity]

Oh, the mage hand? It does improve one’s ability to multitask, though sometimes it has a mind of its own.

It’s a schoolboy cantrip, you know, one of the first they teach you at the academies. Highly teachable.

[extent]

all that money my parents spent on a good education, wasted
this would have been a game changer in high school :(

i don't know if i can teach you anything in return, my stuff isn't super learnable, but we can try?
how are you with potions?

[corporeity]

Between you and I, I may have napped through my potion's lectures, but they really shouldn’t have scheduled any classes for Friday mornings. It’s borderline sabotage.

That is to say, I’d be glad to learn, though you needn’t feel indebted, when you’re offering me a chance to listen to myself talk.

[extent]

honestly that's so fair though, like who's even capable of learning at that time
(morning people i guess but i don't understand them at ALL)

no debt though, don't worry! just like
fun exchange of like minded ideas and all that or whatever
so long as you can tolerate having a so-so student anyway

[corporeity]

My favourite sort of exchange, but I must quibble your self-assessment.
Is it not the responsibility of the teacher to inspire the student? If you've found your learning experiences so-so, the burden of improvement is not on you alone.

[extent]

for the record, if you absolutely lose your mind trying to teach me basic baby spells i'm going to remind you that you said that

i've got it in writing and everything

[corporeity]

Madness seems a small price to pay for progress.

[extent]

your dedication to teaching is remarkable professor gale
i promise if i drive you to drink i'll provide the booze
whiskey? or wine

you strike me as a classy drink kind of a guy

[corporeity]

[ professor gale!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Well, if one is going to indulge, it might as well be in the best, hm?
Red wine and smoky whisky, to be exact. I'm unfamiliar with the vintages of this world, but that only means I now have the privilege of trying something new.

[extent]

have yuo tried tequila?

[corporeity]

Should I?

[extent]

oh
absolutely yes
everyone's got to experience it at least once in their life

[corporeity]

I have a feeling it’s not for the faint of heart.

[extent]

no, but it'll be a hell of an experience

oh you know what we should all do? after work drinks

[corporeity]

A classic bonding experience for colleagues! You’ve my wholehearted support.

[extent]

ok great i'm going to arrange it and you have to come
:)
+1s or whatever you can bring someone if you want

[corporeity]

You've my word.

I'll see about Astarion joining when the time comes, seeing as he spends plenty of time at the shop with us, anyway.

[extent]

oh please do, i think it'd be fun to get to know everyones partners a bit better :)

[corporeity]

[ PARTNERS 😳 ]

Quite.
Is that how you and August would describe yourselves? Partners?

[extent]

well
actually
boyfriend
but its like very new and im trying not to make a big deal about it
is that totally lame? boyfriends, i mean we're not twelve

[ sir u are nineteen ]

[corporeity]

I think it’s sweet. A romantic notion, no matter one’s age.
