Gallus looked up and tapped his finger against his cheek. "So, a persistent hard worker and an academic for bonus points?" Gallus hummed and began to grin, thinking of revenge for Meesei's previous tease, "You make it sound like Darahil or Irenya is your type." Gallus shook his head, "Though, I would expect that you would prefer one with a greater range of emotions than unamused and serious."

Actually giving serious thought, Gallus found that Meesei's preferences did not exactly narrow down anyone in particular, especially if interest in magic was seen as optional. There were plenty of driven people he knew. After about ten seconds, he regarded Meesei with a raised brow, "Well, if ever you do feel like pursuing someone, I believe your criteria leaves you with many good options."

For a moment, Gallus looked at the wall again, seemingly looking like he was caught in his own thoughts. "I do envy you, in a way. Not in being champion but...managing to keep your relations in check. I'm expecting a few slaps upon my face when I get home." Gallus' words were in humour, but he sounded somewhat grave about out.

Tzirret was taken out of his thoughts of Ma'tanza by La'khay's answer. He looked at her eyes again and nodded, "Right. Thank you, La'khay. This one does not know either, but he does not want to risk it."

Still in his previous mind, Tzirret inquired further. "About Ma'tanza, should Tzirret even try? He cannot know if he can stay with this clan or take her home to Bruma, even if everything goes perfectly. And...he does not know if she is interested at all. You say it is obvious that I am interested, do you think she knows?"
