Bristle resisted a sigh, they had [i]more[/i] magic practice? Just thinking about it was getting him tired, still at least he'd confirmed that they got food. He wasn't quite sure with the spartan like ways their master had shown so far. Bristle winced a little at the last pointed statement, if words were real he'd be bleeding right now. He would've tried to look at his magic again but figured that he'd better wait until magic practice. And there was no way the master wouldn't notice so there was no point in trying to sneakily do it. No stupid questions was a phrase that had always amused him, as Alex seemed to be hitting every one of them reliably. Still, it was better than not asking. Kinda. It wasn't that Bristle didn't to talk, it was just he didn't have anything to say.
