Now, I must disagree with you there. Much of this information is quite an exciting foray into the different scientific laws that govern this world. Even if you still do not find any of it at all interesting, the spells taught here might be necessary for you one day.
[Just a hint of a pause.] Ah, that's quite an ambitious undertaking. I've read that it is incredibly difficult to complete a spell like that. I hope that if you do not attend your lessons out of interest, you will at least attend them help you accomplish a goal like that. ...To conquer death, it would truly be a sight to behold. [Layton doesn't ask why this spell interests Clovis, in no small part because Layton doesn't want to talk about the deaths he wished he could've averted.]
I can't say for sure. It's been a discussed theory in some of the books I read, and there was some passages about something called the Philosopher's Stone that was said to almost be like a stopper to death. Nothing definite, however. [Layton's tone brightens up at the next bit.] That's very good to hear.
Oh, of course. They're actually on loan to me from the library, so I don't mind them being borrowed at all. They're quite the large history books, so would you like me to bookmark which passages you might find interesting?
All right. A good amount of it is on this man known as Nicholas Flamel. He created the Philosopher's Stone and lived well into his six hundreds, I believe. It's more a matter of extending life than stopping death, but it is a good place to start researching. [Layton might avoid bookmarking the sections pertaining to the Dark Arts. None of it was particularly harmful or restricted, but still, they didn't seem to be too safe either...]

I would think a Prince would have a more rigorous study schedule than a regular student, but perhaps that's only applicable to my own experiences.

Perhaps.

Well, do you mind me asking why you don't want to attend your classes daily? I hope it isn't for any type of difficulty, like an illness.

I'd rather be designing.

Designing what, if I may ask?

... school uniforms, dresses, buildings, and the like.

That sounds like a wonderful hobby to have.

It's not a hobby.

Oh, excuse me for the mistake, then.
