Freya entered the dining hall for lunch. She found two she hadn’t talked to yet that day near one of the windows that looked out onto the courtyard next to the Hall. “Hi! How has today been?”
‘Hi, Freya,” one said with a smile.
“A great autumn day, Leia?” Freya said.
“Oh, it definitely is!” Leia said. “It is argued that Urbs Aeterna has the best climate in Aurora.”
“I haven’t really thought about that,” Freya said a she sat down.
“Oh, Leia…”the other said.
“What do you think, Anise?” Freya asked.
“I’d say it would be somewhere in the South, where it doesn’t snow much,” Anise answered.
“Like, Tanaria?” Leia asked.
“Yes,” Anise said.
“I haven’t been to the South,” Freya mused. “We’ve mostly been to places in the northeast, Munnsland once, the United Kingdom or Australia.”
“The northeast?” Anise asked, rhetorically. “It’s mostly Auroric there, so we decided not to go when it did come up.”
“Well, I’m bilingual,” Freya said with a smile.
“That’s cool,” Leia said.
“That’s something I’m interested in,” Anise said. “The shifting linguistic landscape of Aurora. How the Auroric speaking areas have expanded over time, especially in the Modern Era.”
“It’s probably because it is taught in some of the other provinces as a second language,” Freya mused.
“Like, it’s the ongoing legacy of the Nordic Era,” Leia added.
“History…” Freya murmured.
“Aren’t you into art?” Anise asked.
“It’s a big part of what I’m interested in, but not everything,” Freya said. “For instance…” she then told them about the mystery of the missing Renaissance artworks.
“That’s still about art,” Anise said.
“I guess so,” Freya responded with a giggle.
“It’s a bit strange,” Leia considered.
“That is one reason why I’m going to investigate,” Freya said.
