Merlyn is more than willing to make good on his offer of lessons. Those who arranged for him to come and find him will have him show up promptly in the appointed place, a brightly-crocheted bag of books over his shoulder and a cup of tea in his hand. He greets them with a little raise of his tea mug, beckoning them over to sit with him.

Those who didn't make solid arrangements should have little difficulty finding him. He's spending his time largely in the common area or the District 2 suite, alternately reading and scribbling down lesson plans he only intends to keep very roughly to, or knitting ferociously in a corner.

"Yeah, but I eat a lot of it! Gotta make sure I'm prepared!" Come on, there's nothing wrong with preparedness! And now he's taking a seat, which is more or less carelessly sprawling all over one of the seats nearby. "So where do we start with the lesson stuff?"
infinitemayonnaise: (let me learn you a thing)

"Well, my kind of wizard stuff is all focused on hitting things really hard..." Nitou thinks for a moment. "So stuff to cover what I don't know?"
infinitemayonnaise: (ugh)

Nitou just stares at Merlyn for a bit. "...you sound like my grandma asking me if I even know how to pay attention," he complains. "I can pay attention, I swear!" He frowns. "Even if I don't really know how to do meditation stuff."
infinitemayonnaise: (lounging)

Nitou mimics that position easily enough. "Right, right, I got it. Like this?" Even though he's mimicking the position and seems to have a basic grasp of things, it's in his nature to want to fidget. He's reining himself in as best he can.
infinitemayonnaise: (run away while you can)

"Woah, wait, you can hear bugs stomping around? Really?" The idea immediately distracts Nitou from what he is actually supposed to be doing. "So, what, you've got magical super hearing or something?"
infinitemayonnaise: (let me complain loudly)

[personal profile] infinitemayonnaise 2015-09-08 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey," Nitou protests, "I'm not squealing!" There's a huff as he tries to settle down. "I'm just...thinking loudly on stuff!"
infinitemayonnaise: (possibly mildly confused)

[personal profile] infinitemayonnaise 2015-09-12 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Nitou just stares at him. "Dude, have you ever seen me or Haruto use magic? Quiet's like...the exact opposite of what we do."
infinitemayonnaise: (some consideration)

"Just because it's different doesn't make it any less real," Nitou protests. "All the Phantoms I ate would tell you it's real enough, and we still transformed and stuff. It did things!" So there. "And sure, when I'm doing magic, I'm using Chimera's power to do things."
infinitemayonnaise: (contemplative)

"I dunno, he's kind of just there." Nitou shrugs. "I'd ask him, but he's sleeping again.

"And I do too know what I'm doing--it's...it's adventuring, that's what it is!"
infinitemayonnaise: (but wait there's more)

[personal profile] infinitemayonnaise 2015-10-04 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thinking as I'm speaking isn't good enough? I mean, I think pretty fast, that usually gives me enough time to work with everything..." And Nitou wonders why his grandma was so often at a loss for what to do with him.
infinitemayonnaise: (who needs to worry with a big fancy gun)

[personal profile] infinitemayonnaise 2015-10-07 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Running headlong down blind passageways is a thing I do in real life all the time," Nitou points out. "It's where all the adventure is!"

It is so hard to adventure while you're listening. So hard.
infinitemayonnaise: (this is going to be good)

[personal profile] infinitemayonnaise 2015-10-11 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"I dunno, it's easy!" Nitou grins. "It's just how I've always done stuff, you know? In danger, there's opportunity!"
