[color=76c0f0][b]"Hmmm?"[/b][/color] Lucy paused what she's doing when she heard her name being called, the polymath stood up and faced her Russian counterpart. [color=76c0f0][b]"Yes, Ms. Zhukova?"[/b][/color] The silver-haired girl tilted her head a bit, wondering if there was something important enough to warrant interrupting her tidying up. Oh, boundaries, regulations, ja, she wholeheartedly approved. It'd only be convenient for everyone involved if they had clear rules to follow, thus eliminating any ambiguity as to whether something was or wasn't allowed plus the consequences should a violation occurred. Valeriya had Lucy's full attention now. Don't bother one another unless necessary, no problems there, in fact, that should be a given in fact. [color=76c0f0][b]"I agree."[/b][/color] She nodded, so far so good there. However, what came next confused the German prodigy a bit, at least Valeriya's wording made it so. [color=76c0f0][i]If my deduction is correct... what Ms. Zhukova means is that she'll sometime invite students to this room, guests then?[/i][/color] That sounded simple enough, half of the room was hers to do as she pleased anyway, but why did she have to specify about inviting them to her bed? Was it a Russian metaphor for socializing? Well, of course when two or more people are socializing, they'd be producing sounds, voices of conversations in addition to noises produced by whatever activity they'd be doing. [color=76c0f0][b]"Worry not,"[/b][/color] Lucretia replied, fully confident that she perfectly understood what Valeriya meant, [color=76c0f0][b]"One, I can simply cover my ears with sound-absorbent material should the need arise, and two, I'll be working on some of my projects in the study, particularly those that are small enough to not require a dedicated workshop, they'll certainly produce sounds. With these context in mind, I think we'll have no issues."[/b][/color] She concluded. The petite girl would already be returning to her rummaging if not for Valeriya's final statement, in which its ironic tone completely flew over Lucy's head, [color=76c0f0][b]"If it aligns with my interests, then I will participate."[/b][/color] She then proceeded to nonchalantly return to kneeling down beside her crate, dainty fingers disappearing into the container.
