I did not claim I would go easy on you. [There was amusement in his tone, but as he continued he fell back to his usual curt manner, as he was stating a fact. She had shown improvement, and he was willing to recognize it. He knew he was a harsh teacher, but he did not wish to see her discouraged after only a few rounds.] You last longer with each attempt. You are beginning to understand it, but you work with the disadvantage of only seeing it over the span of weeks whereas others have seen it their entire lives.

Because at a distance you would not understand what it is like to cast a spell. This is not intended to be an attack, Lethallan. [Once the staff was taken he would hold out his hand for her to take. If she did, she would feel a warm tingling sensation run through her arms, and the staff would once more spark to life.] Do you recall how I showed you what it was like to summon veilfire?
[Implying he was going to do something similar. However, channelling a meager spell through someone's hands was one thing, channelling a few spells through a person was a bit more complicated. He also had to be wary, she was no elf, and no mage, so it was impossible for her to understand it as he did.
But the raw, hazy, power of the fade would be something she could feel, and as long as he did not overdo it she should remain fine. Humans could dream after all, she had a connection to the Fade, if a weak one.]
