"Two weeks would be impressive patience, and I hope that you do."
It isn't that he doubts her commitment or sanity to do that, but Istredd knows what magic feels like when it first starts to click. He can see it in her expression too, when she did it for the first time, how it felt to hold light in her hands. It can be an addictive sensation and the more she uses it and feels powerful, the more she will want to do more. He knows the type. Hopefully her good sense will be in there.
He hesitates at the compliment. It feels good, actually, something that surprises him. Not that it should, because he volunteered for all of this, but he thought it was out of necessity. And instead it feels right.
"I'm new at it, so I'm glad to hear that. I went through extensive training so I suppose I had good examples. In skill, not in personality." His mentor Stregobor is a piece of work in the worst possible sense. Although a very, very good mage, and a ruthless teacher.
