*Merlin listened to both of them introduce themselves and express why they were there before speaking.* 

"Ah! Well Indeed if you're looking to learn more about magic, you came to the right place. My name is Merlin. As you can see, I am a sorcerer. I know many spells that I can teach you two, but first I must ask, what are your motives?"
Fredia
Still having his filter, Furo kept from giving an obvious crimson flag for an answer. As amusing as it would be to try and put more wrinkles on the old man, the mechanic was serious about learning a thing or two. He would not be here otherwise.

"Ah, well I don't understand magic very well. So I need someone who can teach me."

It really was that simple. Though Furo tried to find the words to state his intent clearly.

"I want to learn magic for me," He motioned awkwardly with his hands reaching for his next thought that could convey his feelings. "If I could use it to defend myself, sure. My friends if they are in trouble? Definitely would be a boon."

He paused for a moment. Trying to choose those next words before deciding that it was just too much of a hassle. Furo stared up at Merlin and his questioning gaze. The young man spoke his feelings with certainty in his voice.

"I want experience new stuff and have fun. Those are the goals I set after I found myself here due to my world falling to darkness. I can already cast magic. I seem to have an affinity to it a bit. If I want to get better, learn more about myself, and have a good time doing so... Well it would be dumb of me not to ask for help."

To learn magic for the sake of learning magic. 

If Merlin was expecting someone who held grand ambitions or spontaneous acts of heroism, barring petty theft, he knew two who fit the bill. Neither were him though.

Sapphire stopped for a bit as she began thinking about the hopeless feeling she had when her world fell. 

She looked back at the elderly man as she realized she wanted to learn magic to protect herself from that hopeless feeling. 

"I want to learn magic to protect myself, I have already done a bit of simple magic and I..." She stopped herself as she remembered what Kaz had told about chasing after power of the opportunity show's itself. "I want to get stronger as well." 

She had hoped her answer would be sufficient enough for Merlin, and if he were to turn her away it'd be back to the books and self training.

*Merlin had a small chuckle after hearing what they both had to say.* 

"Ah good! You see I didn't expect any grand ambitions. Just good intentions is what matters. Protecting yourself and those you care about. Hold onto those goals and you will go far. Now why don't you come in?" 

*Merlin transported all of them inside the house. The room would basically look to be a giant mess. Books would be everywhere, however you could still navigate it.*
Fredia
Furo was silent as Merlin walked into the building. He had not admitted to any good intentions, but decided not to point it out. He did not *Have* Any bad plans for magic, but he would be hard pressed to say that he may not depending on the situation.

When he was brought into the place, his feelings were a little more valid as he thought about all the times he had trespassed in the house. Best he was quiet on that matter as well. 

He looked around at the giant mess and had only. He could smell all the books more that he could see them. It was a lot to deal with and left him with only one question.

"What's the purpose of the door if you don't use it?"

He was less trying to be rude and more trying to understand. Is this just a common trait between those with supernatural abilities? Really strange to install something whose functions you have no intentions for.

Sapphire looked around at all the books with wonderment in her eyes. She was glad to have listened to those rumors and find Merlin as well as a someone who she could hopefully train with in the arts of magic. 

She then heard Furo's comment about having a door if it didn't get much use which caused a small chuckle to escape her lips. "I for one am glad that the door is there so we don't have to figure out that teleporting spell for when we want to enter or exit the house" 

She looked at the mounds of book around all of three of them as she went to go grab one feeling the thick layer of dust that coated it causing her to place the book down and dust her hands off. She was wondering how long it had been since the house last had anyone living in it but that was a question for herself.
