For my sake, I'm glad they seem to have learned the error of their ways.

{ Well, it would have been hell to pay if he'd been thrown in a dungeon, which might have just gotten him thrown somewhere worse. But it might have also been more peaceful than the idea of dormitories. }

I suppose I should crack open the history books more often.

[ushiri]

[ He tips his head to that statement, drumming his fingers on the table. ]

You haven't yet? [ Lightly teasing with a half grin. ]

You might find the ones in the library wanting. Thorne heavily curates the past.

[malicieux]

I have, though my reading as been a little more focused than general history of Thorne or of the Summoned. There's only so much reading one can do before they go a bit stir crazy.

{ He gives a slightly demur bow of his head and sips his drink, followed by a small smile of his own. }

Which is why it's so nice to have this opportunity to get out of the castle for a brief moment. And meet someone new, of course.

[ He gives a light, amused huff. Lestat's charming, it catches him off guard a bit. And his eyes are almost distracting now that they're seated across from each other - he breaks eye contact a little more frequently than he otherwise might, overcompensating so it doesn't appear that he's too focused on the strangeness of the color. ]

What is it that you've been looking into?

[ Maybe he could be of some help there too. ]

[malicieux]

{ Lestat seems delighted to get such a reaction, making his own smile a little more prominent, easing a little more into the conversation. }

Hayle, mostly. I find it intriguing, and of course the fact that I can't simply go there makes it all the more appealing to me.

[ushiri]

[ That makes two of them. He raises both eyebrows again. ]

There was a rumor over the winter that the duchess of Hayle was looking to recruit Summoned for her university. Maybe less appealing if you're already tired of libraries, though.

[malicieux]

Is that so?

{ Now that is interesting. Lestat goes from politely and coyly interested to genuinely intrigued, and he keeps a steady gaze on the other man while he takes a drink from his cup. }

Was it a simply a rumour, or do you know of anyone who did it?

[ushiri]

[ He clocks the interest, but shakes his head. Kahlil doesn't know anyone whose visited the university yet, though he knows at least one who might consider it one day. ]

Just a rumor. Same as the one about the High Mage and the Duchess not getting along. [ That one has more legs, though.

There's no real ulterior motive on his part for sharing any of this. It's not the sort of information that'd be hard to figure out eventually, asking around, so he's not risking anything by sharing either. He gives a half shrug. ]

Either way, I figure you'd need some kind of natural skill for magic to even get accepted.

[ Beyond what he's already learned. ]
