You wave to the guards and call out to the stall-keeper in a jovial tone, "Am I to assume that same status applies to the rest of the broken junk in your inventory as well?" She makes to reply, by you ignore the woman and address the child at your side.
"Now that I have taken care of that pesky language barrier, allow me to introduce myself. Cynric Tyne; sworn enemy of the Psijic Order, Grand Sorcerer of The Reach and the last true Master Enchanter of Tamriel." You offer grandly, any of your countrymen would back up your claim... the ones who knew what they were talking about anyway.
The announcement of your titles, self proclaimed or not, has a visible effect on those around you. It is rather impressive sounding, which is what you were aiming for. A few soldiers unconsciously back away, the would-be swindler pales noticeably before retreating to her stall, and the pink girl is stares up at you in awe. Smiling kindly, you gesture to her before the moment can drag itself into the realm of awkwardness pauses. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself little one?"
She scowls at that, but the embarrassed blush ruins what little effect it might have had. "My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, of the Noble house of Vallière." Noticing your lack of recognition, she presses on. "Daughter of Duchess Karin Désirée of Tristain." Still not recognizing the names for obvious reasons, you motion for her to continue... This causes her to pull on her hair and growl out, "Karin 'The Heavy Wind' Vallière, Hero of the Tristainian Army?!"
"Those are certainly impressive sounding, does that make my little apprentice royalty?" You ask, derailing her train of thought before she gets too frustrated.
Louise starts at that and begins to ramble. "Apprentice? You're serious?! I thought you were joking and I was going to be ransomed off to the princess or something... But you're serious! Not even my mother can fly as fast as you without a dragon, you must be extremely powerful... of course you are, you can't be called 'Grand Sorcerer' and be weak... and you're going to teach me?" Suddenly her mind latches onto one word you said keep repeating and she glares up at you "How dare you call me little, I'll have you know that I will soon be an adult!"
"Of course, just a tiny misunderstanding, I assure you." You laugh and pat her head as she pouts. "Now, If I am to be molding you into the most powerful mage in in the history of this world, I will need to know your current capabilities."
The girl visibly deflates at your words, you didn't think it was possible for her to make herself seem even smaller, but she did. "Of course... you only chose me because you didn't know."
"I do not, that would be why I am asking now." You agree.
"I knew it was too good to be true, nobody would willing choose to teach 'The Zero'." She murmurs to herself and declares with force, "I don't need your help anyway."
You watch in confusion as Louise tears up and runs off.
