Wednesday would be preferable. We'll need to account for any quests either of us partake in as well, so perhaps some weeks we switch to a Friday or weekend when it's needed? Unless you were hoping for multiple per week?

[localgrandma]

I don't see why not. We can do it once a week if you wish.

Although, I believe it would be beneficial as both of us are rather busy individuals.

[acquirement]

Considering you may find others who may be able to help, that should suffice. There's a lot more to winter powers than water manipulation, after all.

[localgrandma]

Who else do you know that might be willing to help me?

[acquirement]

Did no one else respond to your plea for guidance?

[localgrandma]

Alas, there is not. What a shame as I do wish to learn more.

[acquirement]

That's unfortunate. I'm willing to do all I can for the water manipulation and creation to get you started, at least. I imagine it would be better to start there than mist or ice anyway.

[localgrandma]

Then I appreciate your help. I'm glad to know that there are quite a few youngsters who are willing to help me out. You'll be surprised at how many aren't these days.

Is that the case in Sumeru?

[localgrandma]

Sometimes but more often than not, they underestimate my age. They simply do not believe me when I am over 100 years old.

They should know how rude it is!

[acquirement]

Age is merely a number, is it not? If a person has lived 50 or 100 years, it's what they've done with those years that count.

[localgrandma]

Indeed and yet, some just do not understand.

It's enough to make me wonder if I should give a lesson on manners!

[acquirement]

Etiquette and manners likely differ country to country, though it would be interesting to see how that is the case.

[localgrandma]

Or at least learn the basics of knowing how to say please and thank you. I think that should be enough to start.

[acquirement]

I certainly can agree with the sentiment. It's good practice to be polite, especially when engaging with others.

[localgrandma]

Although, how begs the question if anyone would be interested. I suppose most people wouldn't like to have a lesson taught about this.

[acquirement]

Most people don't like to be told they have no manners, no.

[localgrandma]

And thus, I will have to try to figure something else out.

Unless you can find something that makes teaching such a thing more enjoyable.

[acquirement]

I'm not a teacher myself, so I'm afraid that is something I'd have difficult with.

[localgrandma]

Then would you like to be my student in helping me find ways to make it more interesting?

[acquirement]

Are you asking me to be a test subject?

[localgrandma]

Yes but if you do not wish to be one, then I will ask no more.

[acquirement]

I suppose we can have a trial run, and if I don't deem it too uncomfortable we can continue.

[localgrandma]

Then let's give it a try and we shall see how it goes.

But I shall not leave you disappointed as I do have a reputation to keep.
