"Well perhaps uncomfortable is not the proper word. But, then again I don't know what the appropriate word would be then in that case. I mean to say that many of the people in town feel....uncomfortable. There is a status difference between them and I and well while I have no issues about it and really wish to make no fuss, many wish to observe it and my disregard of it makes them feel out of place as it were. I have tried everthing I can think of to make it less as obvious but, there is only so much one can do in situations such as these. I am just the odd duckling that has set ripples that are making waves in the proverbial pond. What can I do?"
The young noble shrugged her shoulders before chuckling at the list of questions that were quickly accumulating. Some of them were odd but on second though they were not that different than ones she had been asked by her students. Perhaps the young woman with her was also another underprivileged individual. Primrose that the farther out from major cities one got, the higher the possibility that education became less available.
Taking a deep breath she steeled herself to try and remember them all and began to answer each question in order. "To be honest I have never counted the number of books I actually own however I have so many that they fill an entire room from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. The room itself is five rooms tall. The library, the room I keep my books in, always makes me feel so tiny," she giggled.
"A book is a written collection of words. They often contain stories, both real and imagined. But they can also contain other things like," she paused to think of something simple before smiling excitedly, "cooking instructions. As for a house, well it's a place that people call home. It is a building with rooms in it for various activities including cooking and sleeping. Some houses only have one room for everything while others have several individual rooms, like my home."
Primrose gave Alerri a quick friendly squeeze and shook her head. "No worries dear, I am perfectly alright with asking any questions you have. There is no harm in being curious. Although would you mind if I asked you some of my own in turn?" The noblewoman was concerned about the injured woman's talk of her family. She wondered what drove the girl away and if there were ways she could possibly help right the situation.
