"Midas Golstard... It's nice. If anything else, it kinda goes with me, um... transmuting from the previous me to the new me here?" you replied, giving an awkward smile in your attempt to declare you like for the new name.

"That's the kind of thinking I like." Sir Grigor stated, suddenly approaching from behind Mestra.

Seeing the instruct arrive, Mestra suddenly spun around, straightening herself out, her smile staying strong as she looked at him with admiration. "Yeah, he seems like he's really got an inklin' for this." the goblin said, almost wincing at her own words.

Chuckling as he stood beside the both of you, Sir Grigor said "Of course, but there's a lot he has to learn. That's why I'm relying on you, my best student thus far, to provide him with the proper guidance." To emphasize his acknowledgement of her abilities, Sir Grigor crouched a bit so he could rest a hand upon Mestra's shoulder. You were certain the goblin's green skin turned a darker hue as he did so. It seemed like she had a crush of some sort on the instructor.

"I-I won' let ya down sir, I'm gonna git him up ta s-snuff in no time!" she stammered, falling further into her less civilized accent as she did so.

Sir Grigor merely flashed her another smile before standing back up, looking to you fully now. "So, Midas" he stated, almost testing your new name as he pronounced it, "I'm going to be leaving you in Mestra's capable hands for a bit. I unfortunately need to give the other students attention still, and most of them already have an understanding of Transmutation. However, by leaving you with her, I'm certain you'll catch up to the rest of us quickly. As such, for the first week, I want you to do as she says and she'll report back the progress of your lessons to me."

You give a quick nod and reply "Of course, whatever you say, Sir Grigor."

Smiling at your reaction, the instructor continues forth. "Well come on, lets take a seat and wait for them to bring out breakfast."

You and Mestra follow Sir Grigor to one of the tables, taking a seat at it. In due time, students start arriving and filling the rest of the seats, which then leads to a group of servants providing breakfast. It's the best thing you've ever tasted, which isn't saying all the much, but it makes Sir Grigor laugh, and in turn makes Mestra giggle oddly. When the meal is finished, Sir Grigor instructs the rest of the students to follow him, leaving just you and Mestra.
