 "Yes you may, that's why I offered. I assumed math would begin to grow dull. Especially if you can do it all mentally." he said as she kissed his hand, the prince gently stroking her cheek before opening the door to the study, finding his desk well organized. "Yes, Loslith is incredibly intellectual despite being a primarily farming town. The inner city holds most of their scholars. I would have gone to study there had my mother not been over-protective of me, so I had my teachers come here. The triplet's didn't want to travel so their teachers also come from there." Papers rustled before he found the stack he was looking for, eyes quickly scanning the words he'd written before checking the other papers, a few his father had written. "I've heard it's friendly, of course who wouldn't be friendly to the ruler. While we're there we can stop at a book seller or store and see which one you'd like. They've fantasy to history, so you will have quite a spread."

 Leo smiled widely at the master, "thank you so much. you are so very kind," he looked down and was still positive that he'd heard of Loslith before. but where-maybe he'd be able to figure it out once they arrived, until then he'd just have to try to remember on his own. "that sounds wonderful, master. maybe you could help me find one that is suitable?" that way he could be sure to get one proper for someone like him

"Whichever book you'd prefer is perfectly suitable for you. I'm an adult and I still take joy in reading childish books." He admitted with a smile, reorganizing the papers before setting them back down and going through the others. "You may sit down, Lily, I just feel better when standing while going through the papers. I know where to put them back afterwards." and to prove his point moved his chair over to Leo, childishly placing the Falian in it before bending down and stealing a kiss before going back to his paperwork. "Of course it also depends on what you like to read."

Leo nodded when told that he could choose. he was about to find a chair when the master did it for him and sat him down. he laughed softly and kissed the master back teasingly. "what kind of book i like to read?" he asked, cocking his head to the side and trying to remember. "i like-mysteries....and adventure, i think." he bit his lip and frowned as he thought back to when he read freely, "but i'm not sure. i'm petty positive those were my favorite kinds"

"Oh?" he questioned. He enjoyed those sorts of books as well, though he had hardly any time for them. "I'm sure we'll find you something full of both." The prince smiled, slowly beginning to reorganize his papers. "I've heard nothing on the queen and her guards. It would appear Annabelle has heard an inkling, no doubt gossip through the maids. I should go and ask myself, I still don't feel quite well with having you wander the corridors by yourself, or at least without an escort." he murmured.

Leo looked down, "master, please allow me to apologize." he moved to knell on the floor and bowed, his forehead pressing against the floor. "i told you i would be fine by myself, master. I am sorry, i did not mean to lie to you." that bothered him more than what the queen and guards had done. "i understand your wishing for me to be excourted, i shall never question you again."

Elliot turned, giving a smile as she knelt down in apology. "You had been just fine, you couldn't have predicted those men, Lily." Kneeling down in front of her he lifted her head, moving her fringe. "Question me all you want, no one else does. I appreciate your mind, it's very refreshing from all this stuffiness of being a prince. Hm, why don't you draw? Just whatever comes to your mind. You are forgiven, I tend to always forgive you." And chuckled, placing some paper and a pencil toward her in case she did decide to draw, going through the organized stacks of papers and turning them into organized chaos.

Leo nodded and moed back to sit on the chair, greatful that his kind, kind master forgave him so easily. to have another man touch you whom your master did not specifically give permission to was a grave offence. when told to draw he gathered the paper and pencil and began to sketch the master as he worked in various posses. they were rough and small, several fitting on one page. some were just of the master's head, some from his shoulders up. he was rather enjoying drawing his master.

The prince was writing on some paper, shuffling the other papers on his right to make sure he had everything correct. He had a lot of meeting nobles in the coming month, made him curious. His father would normally create his itineraries, or just a rough sketch and let Elliot fill everything in, but quite a few of these names were important figures in the foundation of the monarch. Was his father going to retire? A frightening thought, considering that would mean the prince had to obtain a wife. "An interesting thought." he murmured, opening a desk drawer and jumping back, actually hissing as confetti burst out. The man stood there cautiously, ears frozen forward on his head before he leaned towards it. Nothing else? Peering inside he saw his sisters had played yet another trick, no doubt leaded by Annabelle. It made him chuckle though, the man shaking his head and pulling out a bound book, flipping open the pages before finding the date he needed and paused, ears twitching curiously before lifting up the papers on the desk. "Lily, what's today's date?" he questioned, looking over at her.

Leo jumped a little at the sudden confetti, but he smiled and turned the paper over so he could quickly sketch it, drawing a full page this time and getting the desk, drawer, confetti and master's face all to perfection. he looked up when addressed, "the date, master? ah-" he thought quickly, trying to remember and glanced out the window to take in the weather. "i believe it is the 17th day of the ninth month, master."

"The seventeenth day. I thought so. I'll be missing the triplet's birthday. I'll have to bring them back something from Loslith or Falia, if I can get past the shrubbery in that land." That would explain the confetti, a reminder, and the fact the day was circled in bright red wax colors. "Sorry for startling you, I see you've already filled one side with sketches." Though he couldn't quite tell what. "So yes, I'll be absent for their birthday, I'll be... travelling to Falia during that week. Hm, what towns are between Loslith and Falia?" And moved to open another desk drawer, another startled hiss as more confetti shot out. He just shook his head with a smile on his face, taking out the carefully folded maps and unfolding them, spreading them over the papers. "Let me see."

Leo thought for a moment, "master? maybe they would be m ore willing to forgive you for missing their birthday if you give them a present before you left as well as when you return. if you wish, i could make them something. i am able to sew clothing and maybe could make them each an outfit that suits their tastes? would that be acceptable?"

A gift beforehand? "I'm not sure what to get them." he admitted, but Leo spoke up about clothing. "I'm unsure what clothing style Emily likes, she doesn't speak much about herself." He said. "But it is a wonderful idea." He'd always seen Emily wear plain clothes, and he felt as though she didn't enjoy it, but with two outgoing sisters it was hard to compete, especially when they thought you to be the good child. She'd mentioned her feelings on her sisters and people's opinions on her more then once, the child preferred secrecy compared to the bluntness of the other two. "I think clothes are a lovely idea, Annabelle likes them girly, Martha likes them boyish, if you can figure out what Emily's tastes are then I will buy you all the materials you will need, along with a present for yourself." Elliot smiled, closing the book and placing it back in its respectable drawer.

Leo smiled, "i believe i have an idea of what kind of thing to make Emily, though if you wish i can speak with her to make sure." he had finished the confetti drawing and put it to the side, starting on designing the girl's outfits. Annabelle's was frilly, and beautiful, the cut making it poof out slightly without getting in her way or others. there would be a rose and vine pattern embroidered on it along with a sheer over skirt to add to the femininity. for Martha he would cut it to look like a dress, but instead it would be pants. long enough to be acceptable while short enough to stay out of her way if she decided to run or climb or fight. the top would be sort of chinese style, folded over and buttoned closed, the sleeves going to mid forearms to keep with the theme of easy to move in. Emily's was a little harder. it was a mix between the two. it was simple in design, but the embroidery would be complicated. at first glace it would seem to be rather plain, but upon closer looking the design and detail work he planned for it would be breathtaking. when he finished the designs, he handed the prince the papers, "do you think these are acceptable, master?"

"That would be wonderful." He murmured. Anckry was one of the few cities between Loslith and Falia, they'd be passing through the southern part of Reta as well, that worried him. He'd have to make sure Lily dressed appropriately, shoes, pants and all. Lifting the map he took out a few papers, spreading them out and writing on the one he needed. Troublesome troublesome, the last thing he needed was Reta taking back their bentien, but assuming Leo had only stayed high within the monarch, most would think him a beautiful woman. Though if bentien's were common, well, they could think the kingdom of Nalenyr and the kingdom of Reta had something in common. Leo offered his papers, Elliot taking them and looking them over. "I'm impressed, Lily. is there anything you can't do?" And chuckled, admiring the designs. "Run these by the girl's first, don't say it's for them though, these are presents after all."
