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.

[mustbepurged]

I think so, too... It sounds wonderful.

[sageguidance]

Do you think you would ever have the opportunity to do similarly?

[mustbepurged]

Probably not... Growing up, I couldn't really leave the castle, and now I have other things to focus on...

[sageguidance]

[ ... castle?! ]

Are you royalty, perchance?

[mustbepurged]

[She hesitates... then nods.]

I'm a princess. But don't worry about being formal with me, or anything.

[sageguidance]

A- are you certain? It feels terribly inappropriate for me not to address you by your proper title...

[mustbepurged]

[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!

[sageguidance]

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

[mustbepurged]

[A bright smile!]

That's perfect.

[sageguidance]

Excellent.

But—forgive me, I seemed to have strayed from our conversation. I know not what preoccupies you whence you hail, but I think if you desire it so, you shall have the chance. Perhaps not now, nor soon—yet naught is forever, yes?
