[There was no brush off, no scoff, nothing but...acknowledgement. Acknowledgement he hadn't gotten from anyone but Hawke in years. To anyone else, 'Duly noted' would sound like nothing, a from of disregard, for them...it was something else. Something Anders didn't even know how to process or react to. They were supposed to hate each other, but the last few times they'd talked...no. Another time, or maybe never, but certainly now wasn't the right time to think too much about it.]

Right.

[The journey to the cargo bay was largely silent, Anders mostly focused on what exactly he was going to do with his impromptu student; he hadn't actually thought the elf would agree to the lesson. He supposed the best way to go about it was to pretend Fenris was just some other apprentice in his temporary care. An apprentice who hated him likely as much as Aners had hated his own instructors. Wasn't that a cheery thought?

The Cargo bay was, thankfully, empty and it wasn't too hard to find an empty area in which to practice.]

Alright, first step to anything regarding magic is being able to identify and feel your own mana. I can't tell you exactly what to feel for except a kind of 'extra' energy; it feels differently to each ma- everyone. But, if you can find that vein, you can utilize, measure, and control it.
