[@Aristocles]

The door opened and before him stood Adykon. Yssil was awed to actually meet him and in disbelief that he had finally made it here. Hoping not to appear foolish, he cleared his throat and said “Well met. Yes, thank you,” his voice rather stiff with formality, a faint scratchiness present due to his arduous journey.

Following Adykon’s invitation, Yssil entered the house. Near the entrance he saw a draconess meditating, and recognized her as Adykon’s wife. Whether it was due to her own prowess or due to being a hero’s mate, Aerta was practically as well known as Adykon himself. Yssil inclined his head in a silent greeting to her, but decided to speak to Adykon first, although he hoped that if the latter agreed to train him, Aerta would be willing to share some of her knowledge and experiences as a sorceress too.

Turning to Adykon, Yssil began speaking “You guessed correctly. My name is Yssil and I have come seeking for an opportunity. I wish to be an adventurer, and I would like to be trained by you,” he finished his brief introduction and request by straightening his back, expecting to be questioned, perhaps even tested.
