Sara has put her things away the room and placed a few personal effects around.

"Strange...this place seems more like home than my apartment ever did."

With a slight shrug, she gets dressed for the day. Jeans and a black Talk Nerdy To Me shirt. She wanders downstairs into the bar for breakfast.

Pester at will.

[ooc: I don't think it would make sense for Sara to be extremely proficient. A beginner's level will probably be enough for her.]

She nods seriously. "I understand. At least, I think I do." With a sigh, and a determined look on her face, she holds out her hand again, and concentrates.

Her hand is tingling and there is something being called there.

Asar-Suti concentrates on what she is doing.

"There is something there, definitely - but it might take a while until you get it to do something. But I think it will work - you best practise in your room, by yourself, until you get it right."

Sara at least doesn't have the problem David had, who inundated the carpet right away because of too much magical energy.

She nods, letting her hand drop. It's aching a bit. "I'll do that, then. And if something happens, I'll come find you. No need for me to set the place on fire. I doubt the management would appreciate it."

"That is why I start with water, and not with fire or light like some - less damage you can do. Rarely does anybody overdo it to the extent that they emulate a burst water main," Asar-Suti says, a bit primly, the primness obviously not aimed at Sara but the 'some' that see it fit to start with much less safe runes.

"But don't try to force it - you can do it, it will just take time," he then adds.

Sara raises an eyebrow. "I'm an over-achiever to a fault--you may end up rueing your words." She grins though, mostly teasing him. Mostly.

"And I will, I promise."

"Oh, I doubt I will - and if you advance too much or want to know lots of stuff at once, Esk and I have a magic library," he says carelessly.

"Do you know what Mikey's party is about, though?" he then asks.

"A library? If it's all right, I'd like to look in there and read about what I'm doing."

"Um, well, it's a house-warming party he and his roommate are throwing. A formal event--I'm wearing a gown."

"First get the spark on your own, and the water rune to work - you don't want to overthink at first, it's intuitive."

Asar-Suti maintains it's intuitive, while some think it's very precise. It's both, in its way, of course. Wave or particle. But sorcerers, like scientists or scholars, can agree quite vehemently.

"And after that, I'll gladly throw the library open to you as well. You will ike it - there are many books there, mostly about magic, but lots of general theory as well. I'm reading the writings of an Earth writer named Umberto Eco at the moment, who wrote about signs in general, never dreaming it might be applicable to magic as well, as that version of Earth obviously doesn't have any."

He then considers. "Formal - I will have to wear a tie. Raph mentioned a tie, too - I have never done that. I might try some sort of magic user formal wear, but would be disadvantaged as I'd have to borrow that from another tradition. Hmmm - I will simply follow Gil's example, I think. He's a wizard, so waht's all right for him will be all right for me," he muses.

"Got it--I guess it would make sense to master the beginning before looking forward."

"If you have trouble with the tie, try to find me. I can handle those pretty well. But I think that as long as you aren't looking filthy or rumpled, you should be fine." She smiles again.

"Okay, I shall try not to look filthy or rumpled," he says, with a grin.

Then, he gets up to leave her to it, giving her a little bow and wandering off to talk to Bernard.

[[OOC: Because once more it's really late for the mun - good night, and see you around.]]
