Zot was relieved to hear that they would likely have things to do other than studying. He didn't like being bored or sitting still for too long. The girl seemed nice enough and was already being quite the help. He could also relate to having someone teach him reading and writing, though his skill was still limited.
"Well met, Kimberly," he said goodnaturedly. "Have you been up to the castle yet or have you spent all of your time down here?"
He was curious about the school and what awaited them. He still wasn't sold on the idea itself but he was doing as his father bid him because he was the only parent he knew. While it still worried him that his father was finally taking an active interest in him or his motivations behind it rather, he did still want to make the old knight proud. As a bastard, his options were limited as far as what he could do with his life. But if his father planned on granting him his name then his future would be set whether he liked it or not.
