He gave his wife a shrug. "It is the only way I know how to learn. Besides, I didn't mean he had to start right now. Start with the theories, and then let him link with you while you work in the court. Besides, where ELSE would you like him to learn? With one of the other companions, all of whom now have their own agendas, and might not relish adding another possible rival or opponent? Or maybe you want to just cut him loose in some lesser court somewhere?"<br/><br/>He sighed, before returning to nuzzling her throat for a moment. "Though he actually knows more than you think. He did live among the kitsunes, after all. Maybe as an outsider, but he still learned a lot from them. He isn't as helpless as you think he is.<br/><br/>Besides, Hiana has to go back at some point to help raid Verdelet's first base. The sooner I start training her, the more prepared she will be. And judging by what I saw of her and her armor, I will know when to send her back. I can fudge a couple weeks easily, maybe a few months if I get the armor in on it, but she is under a deadline now. Which is why I am going to be focusing on her combat training, rather than easing Kimat in."
