Tetia was starting to worry slightly about her master. She was seeing similar signs as she had the previous times he hadn't gotten enough sleep. As he suspected, she was starting to feel embarrassed that she was holding him back. If it weren't for their private, individual lesson, he would surely have gone to sleep… Their master tries too hard, wants to be there for each of them—and that's understandable, because she herself feels like she's running away from the other girls when it comes to her powers. She's even afraid that Coco is starting to chase her away. That's why she asked for these lessons, but not at the expense of his health. She can't allow that.
"Master Qifrey? Are you sure… everything is alright? You know… we don't have to do this today if you're tired. You can explain it to me another time."
She understands his reasoning—and the fact that he's trying not to show it. He says he's supposed to be a lesson for her, too. But she's not stupid.
"And you don't ever have to ask me for forgiveness. I should have noticed that you weren't feeling well and needed rest, not that I should have forced you to be with me… It's just…" She wanted to say something more, but she stopped.
"Does it even matter? My reason won't be perfect enough to take away your precious sleep time anyway." In one moment, the always charming witch was hiding and cowering in fear and guilt. It's not a pleasant feeling, but she deserves it.
