(Imagine being so good at magic, it just comes to you naturally. Like, "oops, I dropped my books, better cast wind."
He lets out a laugh, loud and bright, a hand on his hip as he watches her save the books from a fate not nearly as bad as some of things he's done to them,)
Haha! Don't worry about it.
(Ah, but she's studying. She's always studying these days, he thinks and in some ways, it reminds him of himself when he was younger. He was never the strongest child in the family being on the smaller and thinner side compared to his older siblings. He'd always been one of the brighter ones, though, his nose always in a book or eyes on a map, his head always swimming with schemes and ideas.)
Yeah? Maybe I can help.
(Just going to take a seat on a wide bench, one of many laid out around the palace and the gardens for tea and leisure.)
My father used to read to me when I was younger... I'd listen and try to copy him.
(His father. That lion king of a man who can sometimes be seen and heard around the palace, always boisterous and busy, like he doesn't have time for anyone but the generals and officials speaking to him. Not unlike Claude in that sense but at least he doesn't have to chase down and corner his audiences for attention.)
