When Blythe said she didn’t want her to feel like she had to do things it took her by surprise and Lena furrowed her brows lightly. She definitely didn’t intend to ask because she thought she was supposed to, or felt obliged to. She’d done it out of politeness. But, apparently, here it mattered who you were just as much as it did in the real world. Despite the fact the two would be equals as classmates it seemed that Lena would still find herself ‘under’ Blythe.
For now, she thought smugly as she watched Blythe just drop the things so casually on the bed and scurry out again. Was this girl always on the move?
“I’m more of a swimmer, myself. If I try to paint it looks like that of a small child’s,” she joked, letting out a small laugh at herself.
“Lunch?” Lena paused, looked around to see if Nick had came to find her yet but he wasn’t anywhere in sight. “Sure, why not.”
Blythe gave a small giggle at Milena’s remark about her art.
“I’m sure that it’s not that bad,” she said casually, “I’m sure it’s much better than my brother’s art. His art is much too ……. Let’s just say different.”
She remembered when Vachel had once seen her in one of the more hidden rooms in the castle that they liked to spend most of their time in. Blythe had been trying to hide from her father, as he did not condone her interested in arts. She had originally wanted to practice an instrument, but that would obviously draw too much attention to her. And since the room had no windows she had no landscape to paint she had decided to paint a vase full of flowers on the table that was in front of her. Her brother had walked in and jokingly threatened to tell their parents until she painted something more ‘contemporary’. He had proceeded to take the art supplies from her and painted on the wall, what was apparently supposed to be a fish being eaten by a shark. Though, to Blythe, it looked like a giant blob of black with a ring of blue.
She smiled at the memory as they rounded to corner that led to the cafeteria. The food in the cafeteria was actually pretty good. It has to be good, she thought, they’re feeding royals.
Quickly she turned to Milena and asked, “Are you and your brother close?”
She didn’t mean to intrude at all, but Blythe was always curious with the sibling relationships other people had.
ooc/ i’m so so sorry about the extremely late reply!
