"Very good, Adrien", Valerion commented. "It's a very good first attempt, yes. There's only one thing: you should move your hand up a bit more".

Adrien looked at his right hand and slid it higher on the staff; now his index finger was resting on one of the sculpted snakes on the head. "Like this?".

Valerion moved forwards, closer to Adrien; he gently took hold of his hand and pushed it slightly downwards, then shifted his fingers around to adjust the grip. "Like this", he answered as he stepped back again. "I hope the staff is the right weight for you", he added.

"Ah -- it's fine as far as I can tell".

"Good. Let me know if it seems too light or too heavy - I can correct that for you", Valerion said with a smile and a nod. "Now, could you please draw a second circle?".
