First of many students

Soon Selkiris' doorbell rang as the young mage arrived at his home. Once he opened the door he would be greeted with a young teenager, draped in a white magister's cloak. His facial expressions were minimal but all of the nervousness and excitement of his higher learning could be seen with one glance into his eyes, "Are you Selkiris?" He questioned the hooded man before politely bowing in greeting.

"My name is Noah, I look forward to learning from you." He introduced himself but soon sought entry so as to begin his lessons.

Noah calmly entered the home his eyes darting about the home as he entered. He had never really been inside the dwelling of another Mage before so his curiousity was peaking at just how much latent magical artifacts and spells were active in the home. Once He was offered tea he'd return his attention back to his soon to be teacher.

"Tea sounds lovely, Thank you." He responded in an equally polite tone. Upon asking his desire he would pause for a moment to think to himself before finally answering, "I simply seek to learn as much magic as humanly possible. Well, that is the long term goal..." He spoke before pausing once more then looking back to his teacher, "My short term goal for now is to learn healing magic...A friend of mine has a horribly burned face from her past. I can tell it bothers her and I wish to remedy it." He explained calmly, his gaze drifting downwards. He clearly had been thinking about this alot, "I also wish to help the people of this island with any sort of magical infliction I can...But that is something to do as I study."

Noah quirked a brow at his expressed experience with losing his humanity. He'd open his mouth to ask but quickly decides against it as it seemed somewhat personal. Instead he would lift up the cup of tea and sips some of it down. Once the three books were presented to him his eyes lit up just a bit in excitement, "I would much prefer to study them myself. So this is fine...thank you." He nodded in gratitutde towards his teacher.

Noah would open one of the three books presented to him and promptly began his study right then and there. Subconsciously he was used to just starting whenever he pleased by soon caught his rude action. Not stopping but instead choosing to interact with his teacher while he studied, "Selkiris, if you don't mind me asking...why are you choosing to teach people magic if you are afraid of the possibility of them losing their humanity." He questioned, looking over the rim of one of the tomes to question the hooded figure.

"Hmm, I see." He responded though considering he had his nose in a book it would likely be hard to tell if he were speaking to himself or responding to the question. He'd fall silent for a few moments as Noah wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed socially, he wasn't sure what to say next.

He would then lower his book and look to Selkiris, "Did you lose your humanity? What are you now?" He questioned quizzically. He had just figured the hood was just to show his prowess as a Mage. Finding Mages covered in them wasn't hard. Even Noah himself bored a white cloak and sometimes wore the hood. But now he was curious about his new magic teacher.

It may have come off a bit rude but his curiousity was genuine and pure. He didn't seem scared, more intrigued than anything.

Noah stared at his teacher as he revealed himself to him. Black veins and Pale Face, an Eldritch. That's when it clicked that he was being taught magic by an Outer God. The Barrier Mage simply nodded though his face was still somewhat filled with confusion and intrigue, "Lucky indeed...But do not worry. My desire for knowledge won't become so obsessive that I sacrifice myself to the Eldritch." He explained before continuing his study calmly.

"I do not trust humans, I certainly will not entrust some being I cann't begin to understand." He explains turning the page in one of the books, "I did say as 'humanly' possible, after all...no offense." He pointed out now realizing that may have come off harsher than he intended.
