A ship in harbor is safe — but that is not what ships are built for.
Did the guy just... do a salute? He was.. from the army? The Lioness gave an uncertain smile before saluting back with a small chuckle.
Before the interesting part of the seminar began, Natalia had to force herself to stay focused on Apollo (she made certain to stick a mental note to herself to NOT call him 'Professor', 'sir', or any respectable prefixes) and his three rules. Slightly wriggling in her seat, the Lioness doodled a little Poseidon trident in the corner of her notebook. A fiiine doodler, she was. Anything they knew about Greek or Roman mythology? So it was like a free throw. Interesting, how Natalia just realized, that the lecturer's name, Apollo, was the name of the Greek and Roman sun god. Coincidence, much? "Question, s-s-Apollo," The fourth year had almost uttered 'sir'. "is Apollo actually your birth name or did you give it to yourself because you like mythology so much?" To the fourth year, the question did not seem to be off topic or meddlesome in any way. She kept her guiltless smile on her face.
And speaking of Apollo... "Apollo and Daphne." It was the first Greek mythological story that jumped out at her. "It was a quite tragic story, in my opinion." As with everything, Natalia merely gave one sentence of simple opinion without explaining the full story. Leave the full commentary to know-it-alls *cough* Claws.
