"Thank you for the compliment, my lord," I replied with a wider smile, cocking my head slightly and pulling my hair back behind my ears. "And unless I miss my guess you're rather fun and morally upstanding as well, though I may not know you enough to judge on anything but first impressions." Well, that was true at least, and there was almost no way to know whether I knew that for a fact, but I trusted my skill at reading people. "But then I suppose we all have our vices."

I nodded. "You're welcome, and thank you as well." I thought a moment about what she had said. "Perhaps, but do you think it might be possible for a person to truly have no vices? I mean, with the proper life, could they have avoided it altogether?" I said this not out of a sense of self-righteousness, but rather because I was curious. I couldn't think what vice I had, if any. Really my vice was love. It hadn't occurred to me that a vice could be something beneficial, necessary in fact to human existence. "Or maybe they're just more subtle for some that even they have to search them out."

His question sounded like something that one of my tutors would have asked me when I was growing up and it would have made me roll my eyes and answer in some flippant way, but now I knew that if I wanted to be able to interact with more people I'd have to get a little more in-depth in some conversations. "I do think everyone has their vice, even if they don't themselves know what it is yet," I said in a sure tone, because who really had any more proof than I did on the subject? "A life of virtue may help you avoid your vices but they never really go away. If we could change that easily humans beings might be more shallow."

I nodded. It made sense, though I wasn't sure I fully agreed. Life couldn't be that bleak, could it? "Well it's certainly and interesting way to think of it. From what I've seen of the world you may well be right, though I hope not," I admitted.
My eyes turned to the book in her hand. "On a lighter note, perhaps we can find a comfortable corner to look over that play in?"
