"Dunno why dad would..." She shakes her head. "I'll ask him after the lesson."

The first thing to cover is basic facts about what things are made of, and what properties are available for manipulation.

September is attentive, at least, though she doesn't really seem to take notes, instead muttering things to herself, stringing the more important or harder bits into stories.

Kinda weird, but if it works for her.

She also does get mentally tired after a bit, yawning some - "It's probably dinner... Do you guys wanna go get food?"

El glances at her sister.

"We'll eat later."

"I'm more of a midnight snack person, but thanks for the offer!"

"Aw... Well, feel free to grab anything in the kitchen!" She darts forward to hug Bellona, and nods at El. "Thanks for teaching me you guys!"

"You're welcome."

"I'll see you guys later?"

"That seems likely."

"Have a good night! See you in the morning."

"Good night!"

And she runs off, presumably kitchen-wards.

"That was fun, I guess."

"Yeah! Having a student's neat."

"Do you think she'll get in a fight with her dad about the chimeras?"

"She might? I hope she doesn't. That'd make things awkward..."

"Probably a bit, yeah."

"Well, not much we can do about it..."

"Guess not. Oh well, what happens, happens."

"Yeah."

"Wanna go set up our room?"

"Sure, as long as you promise not to chase me out of it this time."

"Cross my heart."

"Good enough." Back to their room to unpack some.

The next morning, while they're in the front of the house, there's a knock on the door.
