Diana and Dereck stayed up all night telling the younger children in their house about their first meeting with Theanore and Marinus. Dereck now regretted being so unfriendly during the first encounter with the two children.
He listened to Diana filling in the gaps from where he had run off.
"And they do enchanting here. They have a mana fountain and everything," Diana said excitedly. The children gawked at her.
"But isn't it too hard to enchant, Diana?" one two-year-old asked. He, much like Theanore, couldn't pronounce r's.
"It comes naturally to these too," Diana said. "If we are good, perhaps, they will teach us! Or maybe just give us the book they used to learn how to enchant."
"Theanore's notes would be nice. The book is probably a heavy brick," Dereck mumbled.
Diana poked his nose to make him go quiet again.
