"I'll meet you there.  If I'm not there I have probably gotten caught up discussing something schooling-related with the Rector."

He nods and closes the door. 

She heads to the Rector's building.  (And knocks.)

Terrence opens the door "Oh, Ophelia, hello. Come in."

"Good morning, Terrence.  I've heard that there are people in need of an education in this village, and I'd like to do something about that - so I figured I'd ask the Rector for some advice on who, how, and where would be most suited.  And if there are any standard instructional texts, for that matter."

"Oh, Timothy'll be delighted. I'll go get him."

Eventually Timothy comes into the room, carrying a stack of papers.
"Ophelia, hello! I've got my notes for you!"

"Many thanks.  I've had the thought that the House really ought to have an income, and settled upon teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic as the best way to bring that about; I'll need the money now and surely a hypothetical next inhabitant ought not find their new abode in such a deplorable condition - not that I intend to depart from it with anything resembling haste.  Or untimely death; I'm given to understand such things happen."  By dint of all the prior inhabitants being fucking mystery cultists, she doesn't say.

(Ophelia Vaudelle's disdain for organized religion is only outmatched by her loathing of disorganized religion.  Mystery cults intentionally occlude everything from everyone, and she's had plenty of time to get frustrated, chasing down their tax obligations, over the years.)

"Oh, that would be useful. I tried to do that sometimes, but I'm not the best teacher."

"I can't say I've taught this particular sort of lesson before, but the mages I trained were generally satisfied with their lessons.

"...Speaking of arcana, though, I find myself curious if you've ever had the thought that the language employed by your faith is - strangely similar to the vast majority of the Library's books on occult subjects.  I may have not gotten through most of them myself, but I'm detecting a pattern.

"...But that is hardly relevant to the matter which brought me here; I want to make classes I teach convenient to the town, and while I could do up the Keeper's house for it, I'd rather not have to - it's better used for other things.  Do you perhaps know or have somewhere I could put them?"

"Ah, yes, Solar teachings go back quite a long time - I think most people who care about that sort of thing do recognize them. They add their own of course - fishermen pray to gods of the sea, miners to gods underground, and scholars - to everyone they could find. Never could get the snakes thing, though, but almost everyone has their opinion on snakes, even the church."

"I don't think doing it in Keeper's Lodge would work, the bridge is quite intimidating for people. I'd be happy to provide space in the church, or if you'd consider it inappropriate, maybe here in the rectory, though the church is better suited for many people."

"I'm getting the bridge fixed up, but I quite agree.

"I'd like to take a look at the church, before deciding which place suits?"

"Of course. It's a short walk, do you want to do it now?"

"I've nothing hugely pressing; I'm getting the bridge fixed but that's an hour away or so."

"Welll then, should we?" he takes a coat, and shows her the way to the church - a small building on the outskirts of the village, accompanied by the small graveyard.

...The graveyard is actually quite intriguing to her, but right now she's going to look at the inside of the church, and determine its suitability for teaching within.

It has a large central room, with sitting space and good acoustics.

One large windows points west, which would probably give a good look at the sunset in the evening. A symbol consisting of two crossing planks embedded in a circle is present multiple times.

"...I believe it would work reasonably well for certain sorts of classes, like math - but if anything, the sound quality is too good.  People often learn to read by sounding out words letter by letter, and that's going to be hard when a dozen others are also doing thus."

"Hm, indeed. Don't know another place spacious enough for a lot of people, unfortunately."

"Maybe it should be smaller groups for that anyway.  Have them working together on it..."

"...What times are already spoken for, by the way?"

"Dawn, noon, and sunset are when the services are, though not all three every day."

She nods.  "I can work within that constraint, I think.  ...Do you have anyone minding the children during them already?"

"Not everyone comes to services, so there's usually someone to leave them with. I think, Mrs. Kille does often."

She nods.  "If it's convenient for the church, I certainly don't see why I couldn't hold some lessons and keep an eye on them during that time."

"Oh, of course, of course. I expect they will be delighted."
