Jolene doesn't appear put off by Viktor's lack of formality or his disinterest in playing by diplomatic rules.
Jolene will agree that academic discourse should be more open across Abraxas. Having said this, she believes the Free Cities' disregard of magic and focus on non-magical science to completely oppose the fundamentals of their world. Her opinion of New Magic is that it's a fad more than anything. Hayle, on the other hand, practices magic-based healing, which she thinks will continue to be relevant as it has for thousands of years.
She'll explain that she's a senior apprentice to Ambrose Rhett, Thorne's High Mage. Her training is to prepare her to take over when Ambrose chooses to retire. Jolene doesn't express much of an opinion about Ambrose, which may say more than if she did.
She seems to understand that Viktor is asking about healing magic due to his illness, though she doesn't mention it outright if Viktor doesn't. She can't do too much offhand professionally, but she can offer him the names of a few charms that may increase the effectiveness of one's healing magic. She hopes this will be a helpful starting point for Viktor and his partner.
Should Viktor or his partner research these charms, they'll be able to find them in the academy library in Cadens. True to Jolene's word, they'll provide a moderate boost to magic spells overall, including healing magic. The caster should be relatively experienced with the spell they want to boost first before the charm will be effective.
