Nope, looks like yesterdays exhaust yourself lesson was pretty effective at doing just that

Putting your uniform into the cabinet you walk into the middle class baths and fall into the pool. Being alone in here feels pretty nice and you just float in the water for a while. You might have even slept for a while but you don't have much context for time passing in the water. This might be the most relaxed you've been on your own since you came to the capital, shame it probably won't last for more than today.

You swim to the edge of the pool and climb out. Stretching your arms and legs as you walk to the divot and scoop out water to make sure you are clean. When you leave the pool you consider the likelihood of Anastasia letting you use the bath at her estate, without being involved in a live sex show for her voyeuristic pleasure of course. Sounds hopeful but worth a shot. Getting dressed you sneer at the singed sleeve maybe you can get it fixed without needing a replacement.

You miss Wilfred, or Clare's sister pretending to be Wilfred. If you picked her what would she done about that situation? Walking to the dining room your doubt it would be all that much different from what she did when you didn't pick her, just stop pretending to be him.

Inside the dinning hall there are a few students, mostly asleep, eating their breakfast. In fact all but one seem ready to go back to bed. You get your food and take a seat next to Lucia. "Hey Trouble." She greets you looking very awake.

"Hey Lucia, you look awake." You indicate around the room and she shrugs.

"I have to perform tonight, they don't." She keeps eating but you can see a smirk on her face and you raise an eyebrow. "I've been performing to feed myself for years, not the first time I've exhausted myself, I've gotten good at recovering." She smiles clearly proud of herself.

"And I'm sure sleep with a massive pair of tits didn't hurt."

"Auria's tits are miraculous." She laughed back at you. "Thanks for last night, she's still asleep in my room, couldn't even wake her up with well placed fingers."

"And I thought even the suggestion of sex would summon her from across the academy."

"Hey I resent the implication I molested her in her sleep."

"But not the actuality." You point out earning a pervy grin and a wink from her.

"Speaking of my performance tonight." She gave you a pointed look.

"I might have a second class with Lady Stephanie but after that."

At the mention of Stephanie Lucia pervy grin came back. "What sort of class?"

"Everyone else will be exhausted so she's offered me some private lessons."

"Well how could you pass up her privates?" She was enjoying this way too much. "And I'm sure I can wait what, two minutes."

"You keep that up I'll ask for Auria's help in demonstrating what lasting power means." You quip back.

"Well someone didn't blow their load inside a slutty boy's throat this morning." She didn't have the same mirth in her voice and you could see a hint of worry in her. Not surprising, she and Auria were very new and Auria hadn't seemed like the long term type.

"He's spending time with," you aren't sure how to answer that.

"Oh and how does that feel?" She had a curiosity on her face not solely focused on you.

You sigh and examine your feelings. "Weird. Edin's the first, anything I've had here, and someone else is in love with him and I feel bad when I think about him not having a chance with them because of me. When they're together he's different than when he's with me and I, I'm worried when he's with me is acting and when he is with her its who he is, or who he could be." You rush the words out as they come to you and are a little concern by how earnest they are.

"Heavy. Have you tried fucking them both?" Lucia asks looking a little awkward, probably not that far from how she is feeling right now and wants to deflect.

"I don't think she's into me." You actually have no idea how Blue feel about you other than through Edin, without him for all you know she may actually like you.

Lucia shifts uncomfortably as you don't help her deflection. "Well shit, glad my love life isn't that complex." She gives a half hearted laugh as she looks down at her empty plate.

"True, you're only being courted by one upper noble, I've got two, and some religious sisters, and," you trail off and look down at your own plate.

"And on top of all that you can only last one minute." Lucia adds for you. After a slight pause you both start laughing.

When you finish you feel better. "Thanks for the talk Lucia, and if you're still here at the end of the lesson I'll be happy to come to your performance."

She lets out a breath and looks up from her plate. "I'll hang around, I didn't end up give you that tour on the weekend after all." She smiles at you and together you leave the dinning hall and go to your respective rooms to prepare for your daily classes.
