The boy nods, looking a little intimidated by Draiss, but appreciating the advice.<br/><br/>"Oh, I plan to. I just don't want him growing up, too quickly. He's only nine... let him have a bit of childhood, before he spends his life working, like everyone else," he says. "But, you're right. I planned to hire one of the local mages as a tutor, next year. I'm just a little worried about them; they may be level-headed, but they're also quite young. I'm older than both of them," he says, with a laugh, shaking his head, realizing that's not much of a challenge, given he's now well into middle age, not<em>quite</em>old, yet.
