Continental Breakfast Included
The King and Queen have a great many parlors at their disposal, ranging from the very grand to somewhat very grand.
And then there is this one, which is generally reserved for the use of the family and their closest personal friends. It is a comfortable, sunlit sort of room, where one may find the children's toys and the Amy's embroidery and Perry's carving projects.
It is also where Amy has instructed her staff to lay out a breakfast for her friends this morning. They were all shown back to their rooms for what was left of the night before after their adventures, to at least attempt to get some rest.
Amy herself is a bit busy at the moment catching up on Official Matters: giving reports to the Deputy Captain of the Palace Guard and the Court Historian, seeing to the palace's new ghost (she's settled him in the Northwest tower, which is, she assures him, a perfectly lovely place to haunt), and reassuring her husband that yes, darling, she really is perfectly all right. She'll be along when she can.
In the meantime, everyone is free to make their way into the parlor in their own time. When they arrive, they will likely find company, and definitely find a table laid with everything the kitchens could find to send up: bread and jam and marmalade, cakes and pastries, eggs and bacon and sausages, a giant bowl of fruit, tea and juice and milk.

"I'm dating someone this year and we study quite often together, so it's not as painful, I guess."

X is quiet for a moment, absorbing the information.
Then --
"I like dating. It is comfortable."
Beat.
"Usually you do not like studying?"
no subject
"The studying, that is. Dating is, er - Well. Comfortable, like you've said."
no subject
Beat.
"With the studying."
This is something X has zero experience with, and she's curious.
no subject
"And, also - I mean, if you get bored of looking at the books, you can always snog."
no subject
Again.
"I do not think that is relevant. For me."
What does being in sync have to do with retaining information?
Anyway, in more pressing news --
"What is snog?"
She has less than zero idea.
