Frost had been hoping to keep quiet and simply listen to whatever she intended to teach him, but Ava continued to regard him without saying anything. As the silence stretched, he finally gritted his teeth and cleared his throat.
"So, are you going to teach me about runes?"
Ava blinked, then scoffed. "'Teach me about runes,' he says. You think you're ready to learn runes?"
'I should have stayed silent,' Frost thought, already regretting the question.
"You're nowhere near ready to use runes," she continued. "I was studying your build to see what we need to work on."
"Excuse me, what?" Frost blinked. "What does my body have to do with becoming an evolver capable of using runes?"
"Tch. You really are a country bumpkin," she muttered, sighing in exasperation. "I suppose it's my duty as your teacher to explain it to you."
Frost resisted the urge to point out that he had been waiting for her to do exactly that. Instead, he kept his mouth shut and listened.
