Seating himself in the other chair, Lupinus wrinkled his nose. Studying meant sitting at a table for a long time when all you really wanted to do was go outside and run... didn't it?
"Oh. What are you studying? Is it boring?"

'If you must know I'm studying alchemy,' she said, sounding peevish.
'It isnt boring at all,' she went on.
'I'm doing this for the Majestrix - my work is of great import.' she said, a trace of pride in her voice.

Lupinus grinned. "Well, it sounds boring," he remarked, having only a vague idea of what alchemy was. "Would rather be hunting any day, instead of stuck inside." Shrugging, he shifted in the chair, folding his legs under him. "So what's so important about it? And when did you see the Majestrix?"

'Majestrix said my work would be used to overthrow the Sun Court or something,' she said, idly swinging her legs. Plans, and subterfuge were all a little over her head still.
'And she gave me an audience a few days ago,' she nodded, a faint blush colouring her cheeks. She didnt mention that whilst exploring she had blundered into Nox's chambers.
'What do you like doing thats so much fun then?' she challenged.

An audience? Impressed in spite of himself, Lupinus had to ask, "What else did she say? Will there be a battle?" Battles sounded exciting, he thought.
To her question, he thought a moment and replied, "Like to hunt. Outside. And tracking," he added as an afterthought. "Guess I study that. Sounds more fun than books, though."

'Just something about how we would eradicate them when our numbers were strong enough,' she said, thinking back to the meeting.
'Just because you dont understand something, doesnt make it boring,' she huffed. Then she gifted him with a tiny smile;
'Are you - a good hunter?' she appreciated the act of hunting, simply because of who her totem was, and the affinity she felt with spiders.

Lupinus nodded, trying to appear knowledgable. "Sounds like battles then."
Though the conversation had turned to a topic he knew something of, he didn't quite know how to reply. "Guess I'm good at it," he said at last. "M'dad was the best hunter ever. That's how I want to be." An idea came to him then, and he asked, "You think if I get really good at it the Majestrix would want me to help her, too?"

She nodded a little. Truthfully she didnt know for sure, but from what she knew so far it seemed likely that all their skills would be useful.
'I would think so,' she said. She looked at him for a long moment.
'You remember your father?' she asked delicately. Alot of her past was still a thick fog to her.

"I don't know... a little. No one else, though." He only had vague memories of his father, and how he'd looked up to him. Lots of people had looked up to his father, he thought, or they should have, he thought.
"Is there anyone else in the castle, 'sides the Majestrix?"

'I dont remember anyone,' she mumbled softly, her face darkening as though a cloud had passed over her. She brushed strands of hair from her face, and shrugged a little. She didnt want to fall into self-pity and she looked at Lupinus again.
'I have seen no one but yourself and the Majestrix. We can't be the only ones though can we?'

Not remembering anyone would be strange, he thought-- but then, he wasn't much better off himself. If remembering someone he'd never see again made him better off; maybe it did, though, because it was something.
He shrugged in reply to her question. "Dunno. S'probably more here somewhere. I was exploring, but I didn't find much yet." He tugged on one of his braids as he looked around the room. "Want to come along next time I explore?"

'Did you find anything interesting in your exploration?' She had not done much exploring after stumbling into the Majestrix's chambers, and she only tended to leave her chambers to visit the laboratory in the basement. She nodded;
'Why would you ask me along?' she asked, tugging on her hair.
'Sure I'm not too studious to hang around with you?' she said, a faint smirk on her face.

"Nothing that interesting yet. I want to find the armory." He'd been a little wary of returning to the barracks, where he'd been freed from the curse, if only because the windows there still made him somewhat uneasy; but, he did want to prove to himself he could do it, and there ought to be some sort of weapon cache there. "Also want to explore the forests," he added, and raised an eyebrow. "You don't have to come, then, if you don't want to. I'm sure I can find someone else."

'I could go I guess,' she hadnt ventured outside of the walls either, so maybe seeing the forest would be - interesting? Besides she might be able to find a fresh supply of Deadly Nightshade.
'I havent seen the armoury. Are you good - with weapons?'

"Oh, well... I'll find it soon enough. He nodded in response to her question. "I think I am. With a bow, I mean. If I can find one, I'll find out. And maybe we can find someone else to explore the forest with us." He had a thought, then, and added, "But maybe I should talk to the Majestrix first." He wouldn't want to get her angry with him already. Not that he'd stay indoors anyway, he thought; he didn't think he could stand that.
