Her smile returned, although still rather sheepish. A Count as a Professor. Who would have thought? Raph would love to hear this, she should have introduced him while she had the chance.Annie wasn't quite sure what an elective was, but from what Ian was saying, it was probably some sort of class. It would be nice she wouldn't get in trouble just for not talking to her schoolmates the way they were wanting, but Annie still wanted to do her best. Perhaps it would be a good idea to take that class. At the very least, it might be a chance to learn more about nobility.<br/><br/>"Thank you, Professor." Annie said to Ian. "That's good to hear."<br/><br/>Annie looked back to Lady Silvid. It was a little unnerving, how quickly she had threatened violence for a sleight as simple as improper decorum. Was that common among other nobles? Annie hoped not. Even if she would be protected from such things at White Castle, it was not encouraging to think that all nobles would be like that.<br/><br/><i>Well, not all nobles...</i>Annie thought, looking to Ian.<br/><br/>"... Did ya really pack a flog to bring with ya to White Castle?" Annie asked Astrea.
