Kano's second session with his so-called instructor was a lot more impersonal compared to their first. For one, he had to arrange his own transport. Not that it was even necessary, because he'd found out the hard way that the two houses were just two kilometres apart.
Truth be told, Kano was feeling a little bit salty about the way Elder Bruin dismissed him the last time. It literally came out of nowhere, and he was ultimately tossed into an unknown atmosphere, all by himself (an event that was turning into somewhat of a trend with him). He even brought it up in front of Kam and Darvia, but the two dwarves looked at him as if the older dwarf's behaviour was natural.
Apparently, dwarves aren't one to stretch conversations and get-togethers beyond the necessary amount of time. They, as a people, generally valued the words they spoke, and small talk was basically an act of insult. After further digging, Kano managed to understand the Elder's logic.
