“Really?” I said in excitement after his words had sunk in.
He would really teach me all those things? To be honest, I didn’t quite know what those subjects entailed but I knew well enough that they would be useful and interesting. Most importantly, not that many people in the land would be as knowledgeable as Ren so this is a great opportunity.
“Yes…” Ren reaffirmed.
“Great!” I exclaimed excitedly. This is it!
Ren’s eyes narrowed at me as he watched how cheerful and excited I was. I doubt he understood how much learning new things appealed to me. This is an exceptional opportunity and I felt very lucky to be offer such a chance.
“So…how many days in a week will I get?” Ren asked, almost sounding a little grumpy.
“Are women allowed to study archery?” I asked, curiously.
“No…but if we keep it a secret no one will find out,” Ren replied, sounding a little annoyed.
“Ok…wow…that’s great!” I replied, unable to control the enthusiasm bubbling up inside of me.
