Sadie lifted her eyebrows hopefully at the offer to teach her to fly. "Truly?" Nobody had ever even thought she was capable, though of course she had no idea, but could it be that different from riding a horse? The permission part was tricky, but perhaps she could swing it, with a proper chaperone and in a field of soft landings.

"I do still ride, it’s one of my favorite ways to pass a warm afternoon." It was without the vigor she once was able to ride with, but at least she had been allowed back on a horse. Sadie would go absolutely mad if she was confined to the house all of the time. She had to have something to do that wasn’t sitting and learning or reading. "I enjoy being outdoors, gardening, riding, anything really." Sadie was a creature of summer, warm weather, and sunshine. She liked to get her hands dirty in the garden, to hide away with a novel under the tree in the backyard, to take long walks through the estate.

"What about you? How do you like to pass your time?" Sadie had heard of his school days, but not of what currently occupied him or if he had an occupation instead.
