Amourer in the Making

To her relief her mentor would beam proudly at her as she explained her reason for bringing it to him. His reassurance that it would work perfectly was quite relieving for the girl, and for her companion. She breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but even though exhausted there was still excitement in the youth- and a thirst for knowledge. She would happily absorb any knowledge Song was willing to teach her. The youth couldn’t explain how happy she was that he had offered to be her mentor at the meeting, although he didn’t have much choice- that is, if she had anything to say about it. The determined, headstrong youth would not take no for an answer.

Song would turn away for a few minutes, talking to her as he returned. He’d bring out a set of knives that she stared at curiously. “No…I haven’t.” She answered, almost reluctantly. She didn’t want to disappoint her mentor.
