Anzat's How it's Done
The Anzat let Spencer finish before correcting her. His voice was like that of an older sibling explaining something to a younger one, condescending, perhaps. He was one hundred and seventy years old, after all, and everyone to him was a child. Especially the young woman before him, simply because of appearances.
"You misunderstand, Jacobs. Ashin, Ori'vod, Leafghost... She was an excellent teacher, a provider of the power that now manifests itself inside me. I harbor the deepest respect for her. Her training, her knowledge, was certainly not a waste of time, oh no."
He sucked his teeth before continuing, registering Spencer's discomfort. He tried to put a lid on the residual emotions and reel in the aura that surrounded him before continuing.
"What was a waste of time, however, was re-docking with the fleet to say goodbye to someone who isn't here. Tell me, Spencer, why isn't Lady Desmius aboard?" His brown eyes glanced around as he asked that, as if looking for her. When they returned to Spence, he continued talking. "... In regards to what I deem worthwhile, well, that is a simple question. The transferal of knowledge, of course. What do you know that Ashin does not, hm?"
He was asking for training, apparently. Also noteworthy was his decision not to question Spencer's sudden, slightly hostile, mood shift.
