Amara hesitated momentarily before deciding that this fellow was as safe as any and sighing. "Do you know where I might find someone who teaches magic? I know some...very little really." She stopped and walked closer lowering her voice. "I have a bit of an affinity for a certain element." She said just above a whisper. Amara was careful about how much information she gave the shopkeeper, knowing how badly that had turned out in the last town. "I just need a little guidance, I'm a drifter though, so I don't plan on sticking around longer than I have too."

[color=fff7ca]"Ah, magic! I practiced a bit when I was younger. Never got very far—I was much better with a spear than a staff or a wand... What element are you special in? I could never handle my elemental magic so I had to settle for healing magic. Maybe that's why I never got very far...it's practical, but it's not exciting! It's much easier to learn magic when you're young, but I should see if I could pick that up again anyway. Could be helpful..."[/color]

Humphrey had trailed off again, rambling as he stroked his beard. He realized what he was doing and shook his head to snap himself out of it.

[color=fff7ca]"Anyway, to answer your question, yes! In the northeastern quarter, there's a three-story building in the very north-eastern-est corner that specializes in magic training and guidance."[/color]

Humphrey noticed that Amara was a bit shy about the topic, and to try to help put her at ease, he added,
[color=fff7ca]"You needn't worry too much about magic here in the East Market. Maybe it's taboo in some place, but it's celebrated here."[/color] He nodded his head as he said this. [color=fff7ca]"And rightly so!"[/color] he added loudly.
