Weaver chuckles at that. ”Well, I am more than happy to let you prove it to me.” Which she really is. She doesn’t mind a few lessons. It might help her learn how to hide things in drinks, because that sounds like a very useful skill. Make some sleeping tonic, slip it into a particular brew...apparently she should not be taught useful things. Though with that thought, she decides to find the time to learn some of the skills he can teach her. Hell, maybe she’d even like it and become an actual apprentice. Or really, maybe she’d just make the time because it was Loren.
Her attention turns back to Loren with a nod. She did prefer to think of the things Maea had left them with. The memories, the gifts, the skills. It was better than thinking about the things that would never be, the life that would never be lived, the small hole in her heart that belonged to her friend. Still, they were not entirely without her, in these small things.
Her grin turns sly and mischievous, a familiar look by now. ”Maybe it is, though I do tend to enjoy terrible things.” He may be a mess, but she wasn’t sure she’d want him any other way. That is to say, she wouldn’t want him to be someone he is not. Maybe less of a mess, but time and a bit of elbow grease could solve that well enough.
