No worries about all the maybe plans floating in the air, I actually got sick recently and so I've been pretty out of it too, haha.

I think in the interest of keeping things current, maybe we can handwave they met up in Highstorm for their agreed-upon date and maybe he broached the subject of learning magic there? Unless you think it would be better to combo the asking + actual intro to magic lesson into one thread, in which case I can easily pop into your inbox and get that started.
