But to think that you have worked with him for so long. I assume you are at least partially the reason that he does not fit the typical mold of a mage.
[Chiron never lived that lifestyle, and being from the Age of Gods, did not have to watch how that culture bloomed into a most foul flower of practicality and controlled breeding.
The Grail still offered the sage enough hints for him to work out the details, however, and that is why Chiron suspects that Flat's saving grace is indeed a teacher who understands him so well. Otherwise the boy would be dead, experimented upon... or perhaps just turn into a menace unparalleled.]
Partially, perhaps. His nature is not compatible with that of a magus, and while that presents its own difficulties, I am honestly glad that's the case. I'd rather steer his development in an healthier direction than that.
[RIP, Flat. Maybe get this Charon fellow to ferry your soul if you don't accidentally call him a centaur instead.
... Ha. Though this... hits a little closer to home, doesn't it? Between the two of them, obviously Waver has more experience to make such a call, but Chiron's chest drums with equal parts understanding and approval.
Maybe some lingering heartache as well.]
My last Master was similar.
[Would Fiore have liked Waver? He thinks. He hopes. Caules as well.]
If you insist on steering him in such directions, I will do what I can to assist then.
[Waver's head tilts and his heart clenches slightly in empathy. So... like one of his students, his flock of Mage Society's black sheep? That would have been hard to bear leaving them if Chiron had any inkling to how their world operates.
He wonders if he ever came across them.
(if they only knew what each other were thinking.)]
