Yeah, yeah. Though hmm... actually learning's gonna take more than just that. We'll have to find someone who'll be willing to teach you, and the only kind of people who'd do that are traitors or fugitives.
[a shrug]
Well, as fellow fugitives, we might run into someone one day, so we'll deal with that when the time comes. Though if you really wanna learn foreign magic, you'd better be expecting to stay here for years. Even if we find a teacher, don't think it's the same as learning Roland's magic, since other countries have completely different structures and mechanisms. I mean, Estabul has their strings of letters, Runa has their spheres of light... nothing like Roland's magic circles at all.
[He laughs.]
It's why countries make such a fuss about not letting the secrets of their magic spread, you know? Like I told Noire back in Haven, I'd be executed just for teaching you, but hey, I've probably committed worse crimes as far as Roland's concerned.
[stay with him for six years though and it all works out—]
