As time goes by, Flayn sees less and less of Claude - or Khalid, as the people here call him. (She's trying hard to remember to use that name; she's just known him as Claude for so long that, well... old habits die hard.)
It's understandable, she thinks; this is his home. Not only that, but it's his court, and he's a member of the royal family - of course he has many duties to tend to. She knows she can't expect him to see him as often as she'd seen him around at Garreg Mach (although even that wasn't terribly often, given that they were in separate classes). Still, it's a little lonely.
So she keeps herself busy, too. She practices her Almyran, she acquaints herself with the others in the palace that she does see more often - servants and guards looking to practice speaking Fodlan's language, Fatima (who she has a lot of interesting conversations with regarding magic and medicine), and others in Tiana's circle who have probably been sent over from time to time to keep her company on her behest.
Today, she's decided to work on her language practice out in the gardens. It's nice out here, and she's managed to get her hands on the same book (a children's book of fables, which is a little bittersweet; she remembers Seteth making up fables to entertain her, when she was young) in both languages - she starts by reading it in Almyran, only opening up the book from Fodlan when she encounters a word or phrase she doesn't recognize.
She's concentrating very hard! She probably wouldn't notice if someone were to, say, approach from behind her. Or even in front of her, given that her eyes are on the book and not her surroundings...]
