At first, I thought about just deceiving her and coming up with some random explanation about my Shadow Guards but… I figured if I was going to learn seriously, I would need to tell her the truth.
I gave her a serious look as I leaned forward in my seat, "Is there an understanding that my secrets will be safe with you?"
She paused for a moment, looking at me over the rim of her teacup, "Of course. I am not someone who would go spilling the secrets of my apprentice to anyone. Whatever it is, it is safe with me."
"Could I get you to swear on it?"
She raised an eyebrow at that request, "Is this secret that could potentially put the Academy at risk and is highly illegal?"
That's… A really difficult question to answer…
