Laurence | Temeraire
Laurence did you know that anyone can study here, at University, without even having to go into a building? Lan Xichen has been telling me. I have always wanted to study properly like they do in China, but there has never been enough time. Do you think I might, here?
Lan Xichen has also been telling me about what magic is like where he comes from, but it seems to involve a lot of sitting still and thinking very hard while also not thinking of anything at all, which is very difficult and not as interesting as I thought it would be.
Well, you have been dressing a bit differently than you do at home, perhaps it is not really that improper? I know you think it necessary, but even Granby did not always wear one at home.
