Orion exhaled gently, feeling his tension slowly dissipate under her comforting words. "You're right. Perhaps I expected too much at once."
Selene chuckled softly, eyes twinkling affectionately. "That's only natural, given your talents. But cultivation of the soul demands patience and persistence above all."
Orion smiled gently, calming down as he heard her kind words.
After a quiet moment, Selene tilted her head slightly in curiosity. "Tell me, dear, after this step, what do you plan to do for the day next?"
Orion straightened slightly, eyes brightening with enthusiasm. "I've been thinking about it carefully, Grandma. To become a skilled Runesmith, I must first master traditional blacksmithing. I'd like to learn that craft next."
Selene's expression brightened immediately, her face lighting with evident joy. "A wise decision, my dear. Mastery in blacksmithing builds the perfect foundation for Runesmithing. Come, let me show you something."
