-Still, Cinder doesn't seem to be like that. She wants to keep whatever power she gains to herself if she can. -Again, you sound like you've never heard of Sith Masters. Like Jedi Masters, they got their apprentices, which they teach and train in both the use of a lightsaber, the use of the force, how to channel the dark side of the force, and most importantly, the typical Sith teachings.

But, they also treat their apprentices like shit. Absolute shit. "Why are you still alive" shit. Force choking and lightning are common. In part, this is to teach them that among Sith, everyone must look out for themselves, and one must be strong to survive. And also to keep them in line and preserve their own superiority over the noobs.

-Which has nothing to do with teaching someone, especially someone who she knows is very loyal to her, especially just teaching Emerald something miniscule that wouldn't really change much, like "Grimm Speak".

And even if she decided to teach Emerald more than that, it's still not out of character.
