pzue catch-all
wow how convenient that I already had this post made :^)

Yes, I had considered her a friend. She's an intelligent one, and hardworking at that.

That sounds like her!
Sieghart told me a little about her, too. I don't think she makes friends very easily, so I'm glad she was able to make some there...

She did well, from what I could witness. Next you see her, do tell her I said hello.
No doubt about it! When you mentioned artes before, I had wondered if it were the same she told me of, but I would not have thought I would be hearing of it again from a friend of hers.
Hehe. It really is a strange coincidence...
What was the school like? I heard people were grouped into dorms, each named after the seasons... That's about all I know.

Unfortunately so—which I am typically not against, but when the topics are that inane...
I've always thought going to school would be really fun... Was it that bad?

Really? [Not just a school, but a world-renowned one?] What was it like?
It was many things—long days of studies surrounded by good people, most of all, all while being taught by some of the most brilliant minds in all the realm. I am both fortunate and grateful for my time there, and from how it sounds, I think you would greatly enjoy it there.
Do you think you would ever have the opportunity to do similarly?
Probably not... Growing up, I couldn't really leave the castle, and now I have other things to focus on...
[She hesitates... then nods.]
I'm a princess. But don't worry about being formal with me, or anything.

A- are you certain? It feels terribly inappropriate for me not to address you by your proper title...
[She shakes her head.]
Not at all! I'd rather not use titles with friends... and besides, I don't want any special treatment here.
You can even call me by my nickname -- Estelle -- if you want!

... Very well—Estelle it is! And should you wish it, I shall think naught of your status.
