Alyxander smiled. "I have never taken part in the festivities of Winterfest." He replied honestly. "What little I had heard of it was refused to me. I was not allowed to come out of my chamber until called upon by my master or my mistress. During the festival I was kept out of sight and away from any guests. I am sad to say, because of that I know none of the customs. But I shall make my greatest effort to learn quickly. I catch onto this relatively quickly." He listened to the rest of what was said, caught slightly off guard by the last part. "Well... I wasn't taught much. I had learned a bit of swordsmanship when I was young, and had become nearly an expert at archery as I was often sent out to hunt and bring back animals for feasts and such. Not much other than that, honestly. It seemed they feared too much knowledge would give me the strength and will to rebel against their control."
