Mono liked the sound of that. He hadn’t been someone’s student since the orphanage as brief as that had been. He’d never been to school after that, either- well, no… He’d been in a school. But he certainly had not been a student at the time.

And the way that Nida had put it sounded kind of important to the child, and that it in learning he could make sure Nida got to pass on his knowledge. “Well, I’d like to learn… Or I’d like to try, anyway. I gotta get better at stuff, and maybe I’ll learn other things from you that might help when I go back.”
