Wednesday DE: Wax on, wax off

How does your character deal with having to teach or mentor someone else? Do they take to teaching naturally, or do they struggle with it?

Jessica is surprisingly good at it and secretly loves it, though she will deny it. Likely as much as Logan would deny liking having his kids about. I think she struggles with it, cause she doesn't want to screw up, but does well despite this.

I really wish they'd bring her mentoring back.

Emcee is comfortable with teaching, as long as it's not too complicated or anything that he has to invest a lengthy amount of time in and on a regular basis (wow, that sounds really non-committal of him). For instance he wouldn't give language lessons, in the strictest sense of the word, but he will certainly help you gain more fluency in basic conversation.

Cassidy is a surprisingly patient and encouraging teacher, though the only things he can teach anyone are how to roll a joint and how to cook up some speedball.

Pam has zero patience. Really, don't ask her how to do anything. It took an incredible amount of convincing to get her to teach her own baby vampire how to properly feed without killing the victim, that's how much she's not into teaching.

Floki would be a great teacher. He has loads of knowledge about a lot of things and would be willing to impart useful skills to anyone who asks. Something as intensive and reliant on perfection as shipbuilding would require serious mentoring, and only the best students will do. But he wouldn't mind teaching basic things like simple carpentry or writing runes.

Amascut already teaches and trains monster slayers (with combat training alongside, naturally) so by now she's a natural at it. She is extremely patient, but of course that is never immediately apparent to her students since she knows that acting impatient and using threats of physical violence gets more timely results. Following through on those threats at random does as well.

Her world is fucked up and she's partly to blame, ok?

Fairy Fixit can teach but her style is stiff and unadaptable. She talks and talks and talk and goes off on tangents and is a heavy user of jargon. It would take a specific kind of student too learn from her.
