Teaching

4 hours after peak, a darkly clad woman carrying a large bundle of papers and books enters the Hall of records, moving to a table in the back to wait for her student to arrive, if he was not already there.
When her partner showed (also robed and hooded), she bagan laying out a set of notes for him, and started her lecture.
//The Drow Dictionary //
"First of all....there is grammar. I've laid out the basics on that sheet." Anticipating her student's nod, she continues,"Of itself, it should not be very difficult. The etiquette is what we will focus on, since a lack of it is usually disastrous."
"The Drow are obsessed with status and power. As such, all, even the lowliest, expect to be refered to by their proper title - be it simply "male" or Ulathtallar- High Priestess of Arach-Tinilith, the temple of Lloth and Academy for apsiring Priestesses- Yathrin." She hands yet another sheet of paper to her student. "This is a list of most common titles, as well as other notes on etiquette."
She continues in this fashion for around and hour or two, and at the end of the session, she hands him a few sheets of exercises for practice. Then as she gathers up her things, she gives a pleasent nod of farewell, stepping back into the Sigilian streets.
// the exercises/notes would also go into detail about certain aspects of Drow culture, like the Houses, the Academies, and so forth. //
