"And hypothetically, where would I be able to find such clothing in case the hypothetical situation came?" Lucy responded while smiling.

"Hypothetically, I'm not sure but most likely I could hypothetically come up with something," Cordelia said, looking around the room at everyone with a face that could only be described as a 'scheming face'.

"What would you come up with, hypothetically?" Lucy asked after she saw the look on Cordelia's face.

"Oh, just the proper hypothetical attire for you. How I would come up with it though is the question . . . " She looked back at Lucy then around the room again. "Yes, I'm quite sure I could come up with something. Hypothetically of course," she said with a wink at Lucy.

"Saying hypothetical this much is getting me quite confused now." Lucy laughed. "Okay, that's enough about me, have you done any sports?"

"Me?" Cordelia laughed. "Goodness no. Besides dancing I hate almost anything physical. I do enjoy reading, however. And learning in general."

"Oh no, I've met a nerd." Lucy giggled, taking a sip from her water. "I myself do like a good book but learning in general, I can't stand it."

“What a shame,” Cordelia said sipping her wine. “Well maybe I can find something to convert you. I actually consider myself more of an intellectual than a nerd. But whatever works. What kind of things are you interested in?”

"Other than sports that I can't play anymore, I would say dancing too, as well as parties. I love to get to know more people and make more friends. People say that being too extroverted is bad, but I couldn't care less, to be honest."

“Who says it’s bad? While it’s true I enjoy a good book, just being with people and talking and engaging in conversations and laughing and debating. It makes me feel . . . alive.” She turned to face Lucy, a gleam in her eye.

"Men always acting like they have certain claims on girls and we can't do anything without them including interacting." Lucy calmed down a bit, remembering where she was again before continuing. "I guess that's what it makes me feel too."

"Yes," Cordelia said, looking down. "There is that too. I know that all too well," she said quietly. She looked quickly up at Lucy, her eyes wide. "I have something to tell you," she said very quietly. "But . . . later. For now though," she said smiling. "I am determined to find something for you to learn. Have you ever found anything in your studies that interested you?"

"Well, there's something in psychology that I would like to explore more." She said in a more quiet tone. "It's not something that I would arrange all my studies around for but it is of interest." She gave her plate over to a waiter and received her desert. "Why are you determined?" She asked while taking a bite.

"You said you didn't like learning and I wanted to change that in at least one subject," she said, taking a bite of her dessert as well. She closed her eyes and smiled a little. "Mmm. Her Grace's chef is extremely talented. I wonder if she'd teach classes?'

"Maybe, maybe not. What subject do you like the most other than reading?" Lucy asked.

"I've found science to be fascinating. Especially astrology. Space is so incomprehensibly vast. It's fascinating," she said, a sparkle in her eyes. "I've also found myself to be quite proficient in learning languages."

"That's interesting. Maybe one day you'll have to tell me more about it. What languages do you know?" She asked while placing a palm under her chin.

"I know French and Greek, but I'm currently learning Spanish, Latin, and Tagalog. I'd love to learn German as well but everyone tells me it's a dead language and I shouldn't waste my time," she said taking a bite of her dessert. "Do you know any languages?"

"Of course English," She joked, taking another bite. "But I do know Spanish, French, and Italian. Maybe I could teach you someday."

(k I'm gonna speak french then sometimes but I'm literally just using google translate. I can also provide a translation if anyone wants me to)

"Oh! Vous parlez français aussi? C'est excellent. And I would love help with Spanish. It's given me trouble in the past for some reason."

"Pues bien, no te molestes más. I'd love to help you with what you're struggling on." Lucy said with a smile.

"Thank you," Cordelia said. She took another bite of her dessert and found it was almost gone. "Do you think dinner will be over soon?" she asked.

"I'm not exactly sure." She looked around the room to see if anyone would end the dinner. "Do you know what we are doing after this?"

“I suppose those who have yet to meet with Her Grace will do so. As for the rest of us, probably nothing. But I’m not sure, what do you think?” she asked.

"I guess we will be going back to our sleeping quarters." She said before wiping her mouth with the cloth on her lap. She placed it on the table before standing up.
