Could you see Mortem taking on an apprentice?

@chidoricry

Yes.

Mortem has had apprentices before, though rarely to learn what it is she does. She can and will teach others what they need to know about, well, just about anything they need to know. If she is uninformed about something, the witch knows how to get the context needed to teach another.

She is a kingmaker and has mentored nobles that would replace their parents - or seek out unions to new territories. Mortem has had a hand in raising such individuals from a young age, strictly as a mentor. Though that didn't stop her from being practically their stand in parent with the amount of dedication she often puts into her work.

She also has mentored adults, since there's no limit on being taught something. If there's a mortal that's suitable to play a particular role, she'll mentor them. If there is someone who has potential and seeks her out to learn from her, she will mentor them. The time in which she dedicates to such ranges depending on what another seeks or what the duty laid before her is.

Mortem is an excellent mentor and advisor - especially if she is there as a willing participant and not subjugated to a forced arrangement that may lead to some... unpleasant outcomes eventually. She is observant of the needs of those apprenticing under her, factors in their wants and goals - anything from physical to mental health she'll watch over. For an apprentice means you are her charge to look after to a large degree.

Leaving Mortem's apprenticeship will often give you an advantage in the world because what she has to teach goes beyond combat and magic - basic survival, tricks to keep sane are, enjoying the mundane are all important lessons one must learn to endure the world.
