Iphigenia is currently in the common room, reading a history book. She yawns and turns the page, making a face. She's getting a little bored of it--surprise, surprise--and would enjoy any sort of company. Perhaps she might like a certain Earl (or a certain ~kitchen rat~; might as well include him, considering >.>) to come by, but she's not

11-12 walks in, looking much more relaxed and happier than the last time she saw him. He glances in curiosity at her book before noticing that she's bored.

"Isn't it very interesting?"

[ohmaiden]

She looks up. "It...was, but now I'm tired of it," she admits.

[villageson]

He sits down nearby. "I'm sure there are plenty of other books in the library. Do you read very often?"

[ohmaiden]

She nods, smiling. "I always read! I like to learn."

[villageson]

"Oh, me too," he smiles back at her. "So how have you been?"

[ohmaiden]

She shrugs. "All right, I suppose. Not looking forward to colder weather, though. I much prefer spring and summer."

[villageson]

"I came from a place that was always warm so I'm looking forward to some snow. I'm sure this place will provide some nice warm coats, wouldn't it?"

[ohmaiden]

"Yes, it does, thankfully. And sometimes I do like playing in the snow, I'll admit."

[villageson]

"So it's not all bad, is it. Although spring is very nice for the flowers."

[ohmaiden]

"I love flowers! I like making long chains of them. They're a little impractical, but I've never been one to be sensible."

[villageson]

"Chains?" He's confused. He's never done that or even seen it.

[ohmaiden]

"Yes! You sort of thread and tie the stems together. It's quite easy to learn."

[villageson]

"Can you show me?" He's curious now.

[ohmaiden]

"Of course! Shall we step outside, then?"

[villageson]

11-12 smiles. "Alright." He stands up to go with her, kind of imagining some weird combo steel-flower chain.

[ohmaiden]

She'll lead him outside then, to a sunny patch in the grass where some wildflowers are.

"See? These are good because they've got long stems."
