Anastasia looked at Samsul and nodded, "Sounds good."

She stood and walked with him out of the dining hall. She didn't really know where to find Gerald, so she guessed poking her head into his office would be a good start. So, she did and the balding man looked toward the door as she walked. He gave her a sad smile before walking over to her and pulling her into a hug, "How are you doing, Princess?"

She sighed, "I've been better... I was hoping that you might have something to teach me... or that you were up to teaching me.... Distracting me from... everything."

Gerald nodded, "Yes, yes, of course, Princess."

He walked over to his desk and began to fuddle through pages, "Please, please, sit," Anastasia walked over to a seat and sat down, looking at her tutor. He pulled out the page he was looking for and handed it to Anastasia, "Lists of trades with the surrounding countries. I say, we start to go over it."
