As the monks were considering the implications of Priests learning Aura, Jillian stepped forward.
She didn't have to wait for the monks to answer since this wasn't a simple matter.
"Lady Cross," she said, "This isn't an impossible matter, but your request is not a simple one… These monks are not free teachers. They are part of the Eclipse Domain, supported by Shane himself. He built their temple, provided their food, their safety, and their practice grounds."
The monks nodded. Without a doubt, their loyalty lies with Shane.
"If they are to teach your priests, Shane must decide." Jillian finally said.
Natalie paused for a moment and agreed to her words. She did not need to argue.
She understood Jillian's concern and the importance of the monks…
Shane had invested heavily in the monks, treating them as vital resources. To ask for their teachings was to ask for Shane's approval.
Brother Arthis bowed his head.
