[ It's Flynn's first instinct to clutch at the thing, to insist that he can do it, that he just needs to power through, but he is better than that.

That would be... very appreciated. I have a hard enough time deciphering the Imperial Mages' notes. They tend to forget not everyone is as well-versed in formulae, and, well, it makes for nearly tougher reading than some of the Council proposals I've had to pick through.
[ Which is neither here nor there, and not exactly relevant, so Flynn coughs after he finishes and looks up again, his shoulders hunched. He feels a little small and a lot foolish, and that isn't such an easy feeling to ignore, no matter what he tells himself. ]
If the book has useful diagrams, I suppose I can copy those. And I can certainly work on... all of those skills, concurrently, if it will help my studies with you.
