[Sario is in the bar, at his normal table, dressed in his normal clothes and doing what he normally does.]

[you know how it goes]

Surely you yourself would be the one who would know best?

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*raises an eyebrow* . . . well, then.

Yes.

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

Honesty is always important.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*He bursts out laughing.* -- of course, moualimo.

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

Ah, but it is. You should always appear so.

[he tilts his head, and then there is a flicker of a smile]

You even pronaunced it right...bravo.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*Thom echoes Sario's earlier question, voice-perfect* Improving?

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

Slowly.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*He thinks of the previous night. (Not fast enough.)

And shrugs.* Enough.

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

Enough for...?

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

For me?

*Thom blinks at Sario. What else could he have meant?*

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

Will you ever improve enough for you?

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

Well . . .

As honesty's always important.

No.

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

There you go.

*Thom peers at Sario's sketchbook.*

Dell?

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

[he glances at the sketch of Delia]

You know this girl?

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Probably I was the only one at Court who hadn't.

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

[Sario raises an eyebrow]

Now, why would you know a courtesan?

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

Oh . . . we met at the convent, actually. She's a year or so my senior.

Two.

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

[he stares]

Convent.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*Thom looks confused.* Yes, and?

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

What were you doing at a convet?

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

The first stage of a young sorcerer-to-be's training takes place there, of course.

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

[slightly supsicious]

Of course.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*But of what?

Convents aren't for girls or . . . anything . . .

Thom clarifies.* The Daughters of the Goddess always teach young boys magic. For about two years, that's all.

[neosso-irrado.livejournal.com]

What a queer system.
