Aurelia nodded, bugged by these stupid things as well.
"Is there a park or something like that closeby?", she asked and nodded into the general direction of Giuseppina, "So she has the chance to run freely, too?"
She thought for a moment.
"We don't have to wear them in parks, right?", she asked.
Damir, while eating, watched the exchange with interest, then swallowed the bite he had upon the question.
"Definately not falafel, that is true, but very delicious. My compliments to the chef.", he said with a grateful bow, finishing up a few moments later. "Truth of the matter is, Aurelia is not only free-spirited, but also free. The only 'leashes', so to speak, I keep her on are her studies and her duties for the Sultanate, which she took on on her own request." He let a beat pass. "I found out that limiting her too much makes her fight back and that makes her desperate."
He grinned, as he rose.
"But indeed, women are great.", he said with a grin, then nodded to Cleone, "Lead the way, my friend, diplomatic business is afoot."
