"Of course I can teach you," Cain replied with an smile, "but have you learned the basics yet?"
"I haven't. Why does that matter?" Ayla asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
Cain shook his head slowly and chuckled. "You haven't even learned the basics yet. How could you possibly jump straight into mastering the strongest skill?"
He paused for a moment before adding, "Go ask the others to teach you the basics first. Once you've built a solid foundation and gotten strong enough, I'll teach you how to use my skill at that time."
"Hmmm, why not just learn directly from you?" Ayla mused, putting a finger on her chin as she thought that it would be better to learn from the strongest.
"Well," Cain answered, "I could teach you, but it'd be exactly the same as if you learned from everyone else. Also, I'm busy right now and if I don't keep working, I won't earn enough money. We wouldn't be able to keep up with your appetite," he teased with a smirk as he gently pinched Ayla's cheek.
