Shalvesta's rebellious way of thinking was exactly what Naevius needed to hear. There had been so few people who had tried to encourage her to continue her training and for a new friend to suggest that was definitely a vote of confidence. "I think you're right. Especially while I'm out here...I have a lot more freedom to try and practice. Thank you for being honest with me." Naevius said, her own smile returning to her face. It was true, if she had the skills needed, how could they deny her? She could at least take over her father's business, that's really all she wanted...wasn't it? Taking one more sip from her cup, Naevius stood, figuring she had taken up enough of the other's time. "You know, I wish people would take the chance to get to know you. You've got a good head on your shoulders. Don't worry about the other nobles, I'll take care of them. It was nice talking with you, Shalvesta." Nae's smile was genuine, and she really did hope she had a friend in Shal.

((Thought this might be a good place to end it?))
