Rena smiled as well, the words echoing those of the tutors who had instructed her so long ago. She had been a much less eager student than Molly seemed to be, one that had fought her lessons every step of the way, learning because she had to, not through any strong desire her part. But then, she had found that, like Molly, when she was younger, there was always something else to do. "I was told much the same," Rena admitted with a slight smile. "I suppose it's the same the world over."
Molly's words about the weather illicited a slight shiver from Rena. "Indeed," she agreed thoughtfully. "We still have a few warmer days here and there but the rest would have to take place in the spring, when it began to warm up again. Rena could only wonder if her courage would last as long as that. "But we can do what we can..." It made her more nervous than she wanted to admit, after her previous mishap.
