"Er...a bit of everything, actually. I might go into law, but, um...it's not strictly neccessary as I'm to inherit my father's estate, eventually."

"To run an estate is a bit like running a country. You will always need knowledge about the laws, to be able to control that justice is done. You may have take other peoples advice, but in the end, you will be the one who carries the responsibility for all those who work for you and their wellbeing."

*Andrew nodded slowly and took a sip of his wine.*
"Normally I've always taken to responsibility well, but...being an heir...I don't know what to think of it."

*Queen Tearbird took a sip of her wine as well, and nodded thoughtfully.*
"I reacted the same way when I was chosen to be the Queen of Lorien. So I understand. You'll get used to it. And perhaps you can create something for yourself as well? A work or interest that has something to do with what you chose to do yourself? I, for instance, am a very skilled musician. It has nothing to do with my work as a queen, but is something I do on the side, for my own sake. To keep my sanity."

"Music...as a hobby...with my brother, in the past, it was enjoyable. But since...circumstances changed, I find I have lost my taste for it."

"I am sorry to hear that. I hope you one day will find something to fill your life. I wish you the best of luck. Unfortunately, I have to leave now. I have urgent business to tend to. But it was nice to make your aquaintance. If you ever should come to Lorien, I would be happy if you came to see me. Thank you for the wine."
*She smiled and gave him her hand before she left.*

*Adrienne slipped into the cafe, grinning excitedly as she slid into an empty chair. She'd always wanted to go to University but never worked up the nerve to do it...but since her mother had woken up, she'd been wanting to go more than ever. So she'd applied- as her brother, but she was sure he wouldn't mind at this point, being dead and all- and been accepted. After securing a single room and working out how to dress and act like a boy (in a real way, not just the stuff she'd been doing), she'd come up to stay. She admittedly didn't look much like a boy, even when she was all dressed up with her hair tied back- her face had very feminine features- but she was hoping that nobody would notice or, if they did notice, that they wouldn't care.*

*Liam sat down, slinging his books into the other seat. He cracked open his Art History text and began reading, sipping on a large mug of coffee.*

*Sionn stepped into the cafe, hitching his back of books up on one shoulder and being jostled by a group of boys as they left, nearly knocking him over. He pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose.*
"S-sorry. Sorry, excuse me," *he said quietly--too quietly--trying to making his way towards the counter.*

"Sionn!" *Called Liam, waving the young man over. Of course, when one had the approval of the de Winter boy, one had the approval of most of campus. The crowds subtly made it easier for the bespectacled boy to move through.*

((In my head, Sorcha/Sionn looks kind of like Drew Barrymore-as-a-dude in Charlie's Angels when they infiltrate Red Star.))
*Sionn grinned lopsidedly and made it to the table, dropping his bag and slouching into the chair with a sheepish look.* "Hello." *He was almost......blushing.*

"I just wrote an exam in philosophy."

*He cringed.* "Hated that class. Only passed the exam because I didn't sleep for studying the night before."

*Sionned grinned, gloating.*
"I think I aced it."
