Michel, on the other hand, was in a rather good mood, if entirely confused. It had, in theory, all been sorted out this morning, but he knew they'd both be thinking about what it might actually mean for so much longer. He thought the best way to think this out in a calm, relaxed manner, because he was, was to get a book, a cigarette and head down to the lake. It was, after all, where he'd spent a lot of his time as a student, enthused with history.

He grabbed the nearest book, a tatty old piece literature for a change; The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol, which wasn't nearly as boring as the title suggests. He crammed his brand new pack of cigarettes in his pocket and set off down to the lake. When he was a fair enough distance from the castle, he balanced one between his lips and lit it

"I don't know. I'm also very used to ignoring things that bother me," she said with a shrug and took another long drag. "I don't think that's entirely true. I mean, my uncle's half french. So was my mother. But they both grew up in Scotland so they fit that stereotype more than anything. I think your personality and whether or not you fit a certain stereotype all depends on where you were raised and who raised you."

"It's not really good for you, you know. There'll be a point where you can't ignore it any more," he took a drag and shook his head, "More people than where, perhaps. As for where, I don't think you can really classify it on a strictly country basis. I have a very different attitude to many things in life than my friends that grew up in a city, rather than a small town in Normandy. I think, in the end, you can't generalise and group people like that. Doesn't work out."

"No, it's not. But I do a lot of things that aren't good for me," she said. Like...what she was doing right now, really. "I suppose you're right. No one fits any stereotype completely, but each country has their own ideals. It is mostly about who raises you, but you can't pretend it has nothing to do with nationality."

"Me too. I specialise in it." Smoking my lungs to death for one. But his other habits were much worse, he supposed. "I think it's got a lot more to do with culture than anything, perhaps." Which wasn't necessarily a national thing. Wasn't this a deep conversation?
