[ The luxury of having a teacher seems incredible to Circe, who has learned everything she knows by painful trial and error over countless years. Sometimes it had felt like more errors than trials had taken place. ]

It is a relief to find there is someone who does not brush all their abilities under 'magic' and say it is done, [ Circe says with a small laugh. ] It makes them sound like a charlatan to me.

Perhaps we can compare and see what we can learn from one another. I have had no teacher, so I learn things only when I try them.
