if this were modern times byerly would probably make you listen to total eclipse of the heart before you were able to leave a message
I think the same thing is true in Kalvad as in Thedas, which is that universities are a place where one is permitted the time to ask all sorts of questions, and not expected to do so alone. In the sense that there are other people who have been asking questions or wishing to learn things before you, and then at the same time as you, so one isn't reliant entirely on their own cleverness. Which isn't to degrade the institution, of course. I think it's a very admirable sort of arrangement.
—But yes, of course. There are lots of dreadful Kalvadan scholars.

Oh almost none, excepting of course the magicians' college. But that's rather a different arrangement. It's not wholly unlike a Circle in a way in the sense that there are certain requirements as to the apprentice's arcane talents. And even there, I would estimate there are fewer ladies and most of them practice only specific disciplines.
Oh, I probably stole that line from a ballad. Do you fear my censure in some way? You have already more than proven yourself here, so the only consequence to sharing a tale of how abominably you were used back there is, I wager, that I will curse at them.
I wasn't abominably used. [She's very swift to say so, and there is something in her tenor that's quite firm.] How it all works there is just complicated, and so makes for a very dull story to anyone who isn't familiar with the little details. And there are things in Kalvad that are entirely different from what they might sound like in Thedas, and they would give off a poor impression.
[ As if all the division heads aren't held responsible for their errant charges. Not that Wysteria is the worst of them, all things considered. ]
Are you actually curious, dear Madame de Foncé, or are you asking merely because you want me to stumble?
