    Summary

    Among the residents of the Greil Boarding House, it was common knowledge that Ike’s brow furrows when he’s tired, his left eye twitches when he’s exhausted and when he’s stressed…
    …he ties knots.

    Summary

    He thinks Soren might accept the compliment for once, only to hear him speak quietly into his book. "Only time and effort, is all. Everyone has some measure of magical ability, Ike, it's just a matter of cultivation"

    "You can’t mean that." It comes out too incredulous for his liking, so he follows up, in jest, with “even me?”

    Soren’s mouth scrunches together in that way that means he’s about to snort, but the sound never materializes. Instead, he fixes his sights on the cross of Ike’s arms across his chest, and lets his gaze pan slowly upwards to look him in the eyes.. "... Yes. Even you."

    A flutter starts beneath his breast, their closeness doing little to dull the full brunt of Soren’s unwavering, pensive stare. “Soren?”

    Slowly, his expression becomes sly, appraising, a slight tilt to his head. "In fact, I can show you."
    -----------
    Soren tries to put Ike on the fast track to magehood.
