I salute you if you're much too much to handle
For a moment, Aithne thinks that the woman might agree. It feels absurd that they've come this far without even exchanging names, but that's something that can quickly be remedied as soon as she says yes -
But then the woman laughs, and Aithne tilts her head to one side, unable to figure out what's so funny about the situation in which they have found themselves. Still, the other Ancient's refusal - if it can even be called that - doesn't come outright, but as an insistence that Aithne doesn't want her as a teacher. On the contrary: that just makes Aithne all the more determined.
She links her hands behind her back, peering at the woman. "Well, last I checked, coddling and praise aren't required to learn. Besides," she adds. "You're strong. I want to be strong, too."
