Only there's still such a long ways to go. To try not to stress about it, I join Tawny in helping to teach others, mostly girls, about magic. She's smiling and laughing with them, comfortable with helping, even if they aren't as comfortable with her. “Good morning,” she says as I join them. “Have anything fun to teach us today?” “Just the usual.” Some of the girls groan. “Come on,” Tawny says. “Show us something fun. Did you girls know that Waverly is one of the most talented Envadi at spelling dresses and getting people ready for balls? Her talent is extraordinary.” “Show us something,” Nelly says. The other girls immediately start clamoring for something fun as well. It's not helpful at all in terms of learning to fight, but I suppose it is a lot of fun. Besides, if it gets them excited about magic and practicing it, all the better. And they aren't cowering from me. I spend the morning teaching them different spells, starting with a simple nail color changing spell and working up to adding sparkles to clothes and face paint.
