"It won't help much. The basics are useless here. I think you should go and beg them to forgive you or something."
"Never," Eden said. "I'll never do such a thing. I'll make sure I kick their ass."
Marcus nodded, arms folded. "I like the confidence, then. Probably because you're the wizard, so you'll likely find it easy. So I think you might have a chance after all..."
"So help me," Eden said. "With the basics. I'll make sure to keep up."
Marcus stared at him for a while and then sighed. "My brother will skin me alive for this... But sure. Probably because I don't want you dead before your time. I'd be dead by then, too."
Eden smiled. "Nice, then."
"Tomorrow," Marcus said. "We start tomorrow. So till then, make sure you don't get into more trouble."
Eden nodded. "Sure!"
"Okay, then. I'll see you then." Marcus turned to the cat and smiled. "See you around, then, too." He was soon gone.
Lenny watched him leave, the thought still lingering in his head.
