"Hmm, perhaps it wouldn't be a terrible idea to teach you magic," the Dark One said.
"...huh!" I said dumbfounded.
"Yes, I do believe you may be of more use to me with instruction in magic," the Dark One uttered with a sly grin. "Very well, Cemilian, I will teach you magic," she said as she turned to me.

Just as I was becoming more self-conscious, the Dark One began to chuckle and then laugh out loud.
"Very good. Well spoken, let's begin your tutelage," she replied.
