He did have an interest in history, though it's one he rarely indulged. Even a private high school in the States didn't offer him much, and between that, recitals, practice, people wanting to do TV interviews, people trying to shove him onto shows like American Idol and all that horse puckey, he never really had the chance to read much.<br/><br/>The feeling of intellectual interest was mutual.  That was yet another thing in a long list of things he found lacking in his life. A hectic schedule meant talking to lots of people about things that mattered little to him; appearing on shows, on radio shows, lining up recitals, traveling, people trying to make contracts with him (that were heavily skewed against him), and whenever he did have the time to try and find something to have a legitimate, deep conversation with, he was so tired from all the other bullshit he just shut down and played video games.<br/><br/>He would follow along fairly quietly, looking at things as they went along, familiarizing himself with the layout of the school. He'd likely get lost a handful of times anyways, but if he didn't pay attention, it'd probably be much worse.<br/><br/>"What's the food like, Claudia?
