Drake/Juliette/Mag
Her smile dimmed only a fraction at the inclusion of the stranger in their conversation. If Mag Paget was a friend of Councilor Cassul, she was obviously a good person to be respected and learned from, but at the same time, Juliette had a hard time with ease around people she did not know well. "It is no trouble," she assured for her part, though Councilor Liu had already expressed his permission for her to join them.
"Monk class," she responded promptly, then, with a sideways look to the councilor, "that is, I hope so." If she continued working towards it, surely she would pass the test next spring. That other things loomed next spring, too, was something not to be thought of now. "I am trying to learn everything I can from everyone who is available and willing to teach me, regardless of class." Almost anything could be incorporated if she thought about it hard enough. The lessons in defense from Councilor Cassul had certainly aided her, and the skills she had picked up from Lady Marcos.... Not to mention Lord Finch, of course.
