"Then ye be leadin', matey," Rae says, "I be in yer hands. Where do ye want t' be headin'?"

She scratches her chin. "You're in a freshman class, so you probably haven't had 'Dueling on a tightrope' yet. I doubt you get 'dueling while ascending a spiral staircase' until later in the semester... Possibly we'll start with the basics."
