"Are you done talking to yourself?!"
August asked when he noticed Kieran's attention finally back on him again.
"You were all over the place, easy to read. You basically gave yourself away."
"Are you sure you've been practicing the technique you got?"
'Or did I make a mistake?'
August completed the sentence within him before dismissing that thought.
He had also practiced the technique and he knew how hard it was to make the slightest progress and how much benefit that progress could bring in the long run.
Although he had to admit it, he had high hopes for Kieran and that might have made him increase his expectations to an unreasonable level.
"While the effects of the technique are unique to each practitioner depending on the way we comprehend it, the basics and idea behind each of them is still the same."
