"Thanks. I feel... a lot more educated. What was it you said about that magic teacher who turned out to actually be you? Adequate if a little dry?" Catra's lips twist in an slyly amused little smile. "If I'm going to be dropped into the middle of an almost-war, it's good to know the lay of the land."
