Jude
It's not a bad explanation at all; Jude has suffered far worse teachers than Talyson, though he's unaware that it's a backhanded compliment even in his head. Whether to his teachers or Talyson is up for debate. Considering his schooling has been split in two different regions and has involved a lot of surprise aging, it could be either.
"Oh...well I guess it's lucky it's cold then, makes it easier to cover up," he murmurs contemplatively. It would be better than sweating and burning in his opinion. Usually living in Torchline involves a lot of sunhats for Jude. He doesn't mind them from a fashion standpoint, but they don't sound helpful in Halo.
"I only have this season left." He'd finished a little early given his father's tutoring. It's difficult to bite back his excitement at the prospect of an apprenticeship, but Talyson's blatant discomfort makes it easier. "Would you...want to take me on?" It's a tentative question, and Jude's hands grip each other tighter over his navel. "O-Or if you can tell me who you did the skyship apprenticeship with that would help!" He bails immediately, giving Tal an out if he so desires it, unable to be so plainly forthright. Staring unblinking at the stars, Jude doesn't even bother trying to fight the tension in his shoulders against the floorboards, aware it's a losing battle.
