For myself, I've had the good fortune to gain wise teachers. That is, I believe, how knowledge is mostly exchanged here: from one to another.

[white-disciple.livejournal.com]

That sounds... pleasantly familiar, in honesty, but I didn't think of that as 'studying.'

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

I understand your meaning; yet conditions here aren't well-suited for the formation of a proper institution.

[white-disciple.livejournal.com]

I think I prefer the one-on-one style to an institution, actually.

A dish lasts longer when one feasts alone; though it may be a silent and gloomy feast.

[white-disciple.livejournal.com]

To which option did you mean that to refer?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Please forgive me, my pen sometimes outruns my thoughts: I meant to say that it is good to enjoy a teacher's undivided attentions, yet the absence of fellow students is to be regretted.

[white-disciple.livejournal.com]

I can't be sure if it's due to this geas or my personal preferences, but fellow students... I can't quite fathom what that would be like.

I can call up no memories one way or another; yet it feels, at least, as though that would be an experience I heartily recommend.

I'll be sure to ask Gai about that then.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

Has he been teaching you? I seem to recall that Gai-jūn has a number of pupils.

[white-disciple.livejournal.com]

I've not started training with him formally just yet. We agreed to do so when we were both feeling better. Undead and all that.

I wish you good fortune and success, then; he is a most enthusiastic teacher.

[white-disciple.livejournal.com]

Good fortune and success to you as well, then.
