Ariadne envied Eirian for not being nervous about exams. The firstie worried too much even about regular homework. Of course, she had no idea why the older girl wasn't worried. 'That sounds like a fabulous life plan. I want to travel a lot too. I love travelling. Have you seen many countries so far?' Ari wondered.

Only when Eirian told her she was living with her grandmother did Ariadne feel slightly ashamed for asking so many questions. However, she couldn't help but ask:'But what about your mother?' Maybe she had died too, and this made it the most inappropriate question ever. Now Ariadne felt lucky for at least having her mum around. 'Never mind, you don't have to answer that.' she added quickly.

And more questions. There were more questions. At least none of them were difficult... It wasn't like schoolwork. Eirian knew about herself; it was one of her favorite subjects. The ickle firstie seemed to suck all of this information up like a sponge. It was nice that someone found her interesting... "Basically. It is their job. They get paid to do it, like our professors get paid to teach. Their little brains love to serve, for some reason. Should we deny them the right to be happy and earn their money rightfully?" She had no problem with these employed house elves; Hell, she had her own that worked for no wage at all. If you could even call it working, really. During the school year, they were entirely alone. And then when she was home, all they would have to do is cook every once in a while and clean regularly. Their powers helped them infinitely, and Eiri was pretty self-sufficient. There was no way her house elves could complain. She was one of the few people that didn't beat her elves, after all. "I did not have house elves or human servants in Brasil, but many families do. I have house elves now... Believe me, this is a good life for them."

Eiri nodded again. "It is. When my father was alive and I did not have to attend school, I traveled everywhere with him. We started in Wales, then sailed to Portugal, went up the peninsula and through Europe, down Italy, and across the Mediterranean to a few countries in Africa. When we got to Senegal, we crossed the Atlantic to Brasil, and we were making our way through the rainforests to Rio de Janeiro when I had to stop for schooling. From that circuit, I have been in fifteen countries so far."

Even the news of her father hadn't daunted the girl... Wow. Normally, people would find out and apologize incessantly for it, too afraid to continue their interrogation. "She is dead, too," Eiri answered, no sign of pain in her voice. "She died when I was only a baby. She was so depressed when my father left to explore, and I think she had post partum... So you can guess what happened." She would paint the picture, but Eirian didn't really want to say it. Her father's lifestyle had so many repercussions and consequences that had ended up hurting her instead. "My grandmother died last year, too. Over the school year... But I am seventeen, so it does not matter. She left me money and our manor and house elves, so I can take care of myself well enough."
