>Do we know about arteries and cholesterol?
>Actually, what skills have we picked up from our apprenticeship? Aside from learning how to do pile drivers and flying lariats from Marisa?
>You certainly know about arteries and basic anatomy - it's useful knowledge for someone whose line of work can involve combat or injury. Cholesterol... not so much.
>The basic course covers a variety of skills including lockingpicking, basic appraisal, negotiation, reading body language and deception, wilderness and urban tracking skills, stealth, first aid, and so forth. Moreover, you got practice with throwing knives and some magical devices since you had a knack for them - the dowsing rods you own are not the first you've used, although they're rather better than those you practiced on. Your time with Marisa was more instructive in the rough-and-tumble sense than any specific theoretical skills - dodging and avoiding explosions, your first real fistfight, and so forth. You did learn to recognize certain magics, although your knowledge of the mechanics behind them is basic at best and you have no magical talent to speak of. You think Marisa was a little crestfallen that she couldn't mould you into a second humanoid artillery Seeker.
>Let's put that this way: "Sounds good to me."
>"I shouldn't be too long."
>Marisa nods. "You know that place just off of Eastmarket? Fountainside Grill? They make a mean burger."
>"Why'd you want a burger that was mean?" Honey says, frowning. "That doesn't sound any fun at all."
>Marisa just laughs and shakes her head. "They make some pretty awesome ones, too. Y'know, to balance things out."
>"Oh. Ok then."
>"'sides, you're getting a giant sundae, anyway," Marisa says, throwing you a somewhat pointed but cheerful grin.
>Honey cheers again.
