Last April, and then I got my full Knighthood in June. Gar was still pretty new herself, to be honest. I think Wynn yanked her out of college or something.

[witchwoman]

I suppose I assumed you'd all been at this for longer. It seems to come so naturally.

[shootfirst]

Well, before that I'd be picking things up more or less on my own. I mean I learned from somebody, but lots of... experimentation since my early teens.

With magic.

[witchwoman]

[Myri nods] A great deal can be learned by trial and error.

I was taken in by the witchwoman Magretha when I was two. Unfortunately, she died when I was six, so I was only able to learn a little from her. After that, I was on my own.

[shootfirst]

Only two? I'm pretty sure I was still trying to master the fine art of walking straight at two, let alone thinking about learning magic.

[She smiles a little] Still, I guess you could say I learned from a witchwoman too. Everyone called her a witch at least, and she lived out in the woods and nobody would go around there. Her name was Morish.

[witchwoman]

That's when she found me and took me in. A witchwoman's life is anything but stable, so I had to learn fast to help out where I could. She was very kind to me and a wonderful teacher.

[Myri leans forward, taking a particular interest in Kat's mentor.] But you went out there? Or did she find you?

[shootfirst]

I guess I couldn't resist the challenge. My friends sort of dared me... but when I broke into her shed, she didn't hex me or anything like that. She just showed me the plants she was growing out there and told me about what they were all for. Different herbs for potion making and stuff.

[witchwoman]

[She smiles at the story, finding herself quite reminded of the witchwoman who had raised her- so very misunderstood.]

She taught you many things?

[shootfirst]

Everything I knew before Wynn found me. Which, ok, not much compared to these master mages around here, but considering where I was from, it impressed the locals.

And got me in hot water a few times.

[witchwoman]

[You can't talk about locals and mention 'hot' without causing Myri to wince.]

I'm glad that Wynn was able to find you before the situation got out of hand.

[shootfirst]

Probably depends on your definition of out of hand.

Doesn't matter anyways. Ancient history.

[witchwoman]

[Myri knows better than to push, despite her curiosity. She smiles and nods her agreement.]

I think I should leave you to your spells. We'll have a lot to do once we land.

[shootfirst]

Here's hoping, at least. We'll talk later.
