Hanneman & Alois C

Hanneman
My, look at the time. I really should retire for the evening.

Alois
Professor!

Hanneman
Oh my! Who's there? Alois? Well now, wherever did you come from?

Alois
I came in through the...door.

Hanneman
Came through the— Try doing so with a bit less volume in the future.

Hanneman
Now then, why are you visiting at such a late hour?

Alois
I'm looking to enlist the services of a magic wielder. I thought you might be the man for the job.

Hanneman
You're a knight, Alois. Why would I teach you magic?

Hanneman
Perhaps you should ask one of your friends already trained in the magical arts. I am tired and would very much like to turn in for the evening.

Alois
Slow down there! I heard a rumor you were looking for novice magic users.

Alois
Did I hear wrong, or am I just an unsuitable student? Were you hoping for another young girl instead?

Hanneman
Ah...you heard about that, did you?

Hanneman
I'm afraid that was simply for the purpose of my experiments. I had no intention of teaching anyone.

Hanneman
Anyway, as I said, I am off to bed. Good night, Alois.

Alois
Wait! Hold on, Professor Hanneman.

Alois
I'm no good at magic. And for a long time, I've been hoping to improve my skills.

Alois
Some of the other knights look down on me for having no Crest and no magical skill.

Alois
I can't do anything about the Crest. But the magic, maybe that's a different story. Please, I want to learn. You've got to help me.

Hanneman
Ah, maybe I'm just a fool who goes soft in the face of someone's hunger for knowledge...

Hanneman
I will help you. I cannot teach you any spells, but I can do my best to try and improve your magical affinity.

Hanneman
Will that be enough?

Alois
Hah, of course, how marvelous! I look forward to training with you, then!

Hanneman
Very well. We will see what we can do. For now, I am off to bed, and you should do the same.
