Eldrick's stomach was in knots after catching part of the earlier conversation. Nearly everyone was rearranging the library again. Since it was going to be a learning session Eldrick decided the lesson Scathact needed was etiquette. He would prefer humility but that is not a lesson he could teach. Gathering up the books for the lessons he started placing them beside each person as they came in and became seated. He heard groans from everyone as they looked over the books they had been given.
"Ellie why?" Yosef raised a book. "All of these are on the same subject."
"I was given a list of where you need to strengthen your skills. Everyone has a subject I know they hate." Hearing the door open he looked over. "Ah Scathact, you and I will be working together," he held a smile on his face. "Amy, the reason you have not gotten a pile of books is because you will be working on teaching today. Please begin," he gave her a wink.
Amy took a deep breath and tried to guide everyone into a trance. Eldrick began humming softly in the back of his throat. Almost in counterpoint to Amy's instructions. He watched Scathact while he did so. He was trying to gauge her response. He could sense her relaxing and slowly slipping into the trance. That was when he slid the pile of books to her right-hand side. With the command from Amy to start reading Scathact reached for the first book. He turned his head to Amy signalling to watch Scathact to ensure she was truly in a learning trance. Then let himself slip into one as well.
He had chosen a variety of subjects for himself. From massage techniques to magical healing. He wasn't sure when he would need that information, only that he would. What he really wanted to be studying were the tomes in his old rooms.
