Mystique nodded and took out a pad of paper, ink and a quill.<br/><br/>"You may call me Wizardess or Wizardess Mystique for now. I do not need any of the higher titles that have been given me. They are tiresome in the long run.<br/>While we wait for our food, I shall tell you what your duties are. First, you will be studying what ever I see fit to give you. One must have more than one field to survive in this world. Second, you are to keep your room clean and organized on your own. Thirdly, you must be prepared to defend yourself if necessary. I doubt that it will come to that but you had best be prepared for the worst case scenario.<br/><br/>Next will be to do as you are told when you are told for it may be life of death of one or both of us. I tend to use proper manners and ask you to do something but if I tell you to do something, it is completely different matter. I want to make this completely before we go. We will traveling across the ocean into new countries and some may not be inhabited or even not friendly to outsiders. I am trying to find some good men as guards and hopefully I will be successful." Mystique spoke firmly.
