He paused at the question, looked down, took a deep breath, and shook his head before looking to the side. He muttered quietly to himself, "No smartassery. I have one dragon irritated already. Lets not add another, shall we?"<br/><br/>Done reminding himself to behave, he looked back up and resumed like he hadn't taken a moment for himself. "Can you spend a day after the opera here? We can sit down and start with the basics, you can review my basis of understanding while I warm up and do my morning exercises, and then remember that most of that is kinda in the hindbrain, not readily available but sometimes I can just pull it out. Like a bardic knowledge check! Assume I have something similar to bardic knowledge about everything in the world, but no actual skill in knowledge. Which means sometimes I know more than you, other times I am trying to determine if purple worms are naturally this large, and yet others I am trying to remember what the effect of casting darkness on a candle does.<br/><br/>In a less... insane version of stating it, I would rather someone tell me something I already know a dozen times, then let me walk into a disaster because 'I thought you knew.' If I<em>know</em>I don't know, I will dodge and avoid as best I can until I can ask, but sometimes I either can't avoid or think I know enough, and will blunder ahead as best I can. So please just bear with me if I start making apprentice level mistakes. Seriously, I have a hard time with casting basic spells, yet I can trap the soul like a champion necromantic caster. Or how I am doing high end monk abilities, like... the ability to use dimension door as a spell like ability... I think it was called... abundant step, but have issues telling the difference between gnomes and halflings."
