[color=bc8dbf]"Tsk,"[/color] Livia couldn't help but to blush lightly at Katherine's closeness, but for the most part didn't see too bothered by it. [color=bc8dbf]"I'd rather we both keep our clothes on and you take your studies seriously."[/color] She pulled away from her sister, walking back into her room. Compared to Marise's rather plain, though clean and elegant room her's had a more dark atmosphere. Purples, blacks, with a dark curtain hanging over the windows to minimize sunlight. Several bookshelves lined the walls, and her bed was situated against the left wall. A table with two chairs were situated near the window.

[color=bc8dbf]"Is there something you want, Katherine? I have better things to do than get involved in idle chatter."[/color]

[color=fff79a]"Mhm...if I know Livia she's probably eavesdropping on this conversation. She has some rather unpleasant qualities like that, but her nosiness has saved us quite a bit of trouble in the past."[/color] She chuckled softly. [color=fff79a]"Unfortunate she doesn't put her talents to good use, but ah, that is neither here nor there."[/color] Marise mused, thinking for a few seconds as she considered their options. She could give them a recommendation, but even then the guards would put them under high scrutiny. Especially after what happened in the streets earlier. She herself, was far too busy with other things. Katherine wouldn't even know where to begin. Livia was their best bet, but...

[color=fff79a]"I unfortunately do not think after your encounter earlier she would be willing to share information. She...dislikes it when people lie or otherwise behave in a dishonest manner."[/color]

[color=8882be]"That's...stupid."[/color] Charlotte grumbled. [color=8882be]"She expected us to just open up and be friendly when we didn't even know her? For all we knew she could have been some floozy or something trying to cheat us out of our money."[/color]

[color=fff79a]"Aha,"[/color] Marise laughed. [color=fff79a]"I agree, but she's a little naive like that. She thinks honesty is always the best way to go about things...even on delicate subjects. I would recommend at least trying to speak with her, but she might want you to do something for her in exchange for the information. If not...well, I'll see what I can do but my ability to help would be limited."[/color]
