The crowning achievement of the week, however, was his session with Xvim. Xvim was usually extremely punctual about their sessions, ending them at exactly their mandated time—no more, no less. Today, however, Zorian had been so good about meeting his ridiculous demands that Xvim decided to quietly extend their session beyond their allotted time. Zorian didn’t comment on this, simply continuing his endless repetition of the tasks, but internally he was smiling. Even if Xvim retained his stony façade, the fact he decided to break off from his usual routine told Zorian that he was definitely making progress in unnerving his annoying mentor.
Unfortunately, as much as he’d like to see how long Xvim intended to keep him if he did not complain, Zorian had other obligations to fulfill today.
