Lilly blushed a little at the comment about having a pretty face, but was satisfied that Aria had respected her wishes. [b]"I see. Thank you very much for your consideration."[/b] When Aria continued on and mentioned copying her art or allowing her to make requests, she smiled. She actually had a certain person she would want to be sketched for posterity; a person who she would want a reminder of, especially if anything were to happen to them in the upcoming battles. [b]"Thank you for your offer, Miss Hexner. I may very well take you up on that in the future... though it would be improper to commission an artist such as yourself without a proper payment."[/b]

When Aria began discussing her studies as an art student, Lilly's curiosity was piqued. What was studying in a university like? They were large communities dedicated entirely to learning and housing the students and staff, weren't they? Her classes must have been so much different and more exciting than Lilly's own tutoring and home schooling. [b]"A university student? What was it like there? I've heard a lot about that university, but I have never been to one. Did you live on campus? How were the subjects taught there?"[/b] Lilly was about to continue the storm of questions when she caught herself and brought a hand up to her mouth as she laughed softly. [b]"My, my, please forgive me for getting carried away with myself there. I lead a very isolated lifestyle, so I am not knowledgeable about these things. It is a shame that the city was damaged... Perhaps they will be able to rebuild after the war is over."[/b] 

Lilly paused a moment and brushed some more dirt off her pants that she had just noticed, before continuing. When ever she noticed a spot of dirt, it immediately began to irritate her like an itch that needed to be dealt with, so her conversations were occasionally interrupted with cleaning routines like this. [b]"Oh I'm sorry. I asked so many questions, but have yet to answer yours. As for my story, I did not have a job before the war. I spent my days living in my fathers mansion and being tutored on the art of how to run a business. My father owns the Jatmoore Arms company and expects me to take over the business once he is no longer able to run it himself, due to age."[/b] Most people would recognize what Lilly just said as being odd. Not many people would admit to being the heir of one of the country's largest and most powerful businesses so flippantly, but Lilly had just spoken of it like it was nothing unusual at all. Either way, regardless of this, she would continue the conversation until they received further orders.
