Eilonwy had some of her tea and shook her head. "No? You promised to teach me, I don't expect learning something more advanced to be easy." She smiled. "Even if you're kinder than what I expect Vaeros will be if he ever tries that sort of thing again." Another snack was had.

"Being angry and distrusting of you for using your skills would defeat the entire purpose of learning and I can't just stay where I'm at and hope that Vaeros or anyone else decides to show kindness in case they feel like changing someone's thoughts. I'd only be angry if you didn't trust me to handle the lessons, and if you kept giving me gentle ones instead of moving forward."

It was an honest answer, Eilonwy knew that learning anything came with challenges but she trusted Loki to provide those. Likewise if Loki needed to hear it in so many words, Eilonwy had just shown she was fine to say as much.

"If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have accepted your oath, Loki. I don't play lightly with them, even here."
