I see... I'm mostly self-taught, which is why I chose to focus on healing. My father may decide to teach me more regarding dark magic in the future - I'm set to inherit a rather important artifact of his, and I would like to know that I'll have full control over it before that time comes - but my relationship with him is...difficult, so I don't feel I can rely solely on him to further my studies.

[It's said rather straightforwardly, and not as though he's trying to spread gossip or the like; he's simply stating fact.]
