Dirk quietly heads for his rooms to freshen up. He takes a few moments in feline form to stretch and nap before resuming human form and leaving his rooms.
Quietly he asks where Maeve is staying now. If he is told then he takes himself and his wine there.

Dio smiles.
"Hmm my life in the courts have been simple and boring.
I met some people. Some in dreams some in real. Like Cody... i wonder how he is doing. Dante i had met in dreams. And Dirk... i met when i was studying with Lord Suhuy. "
She plays with the hem of her dress frowning.
"And the rest of the time i was in the convent. Keeping my head low and doing what was expected of me." "Do you remember a time before the convent? "
I do no want to be impolite, do you know why you where send to the convent?" Maeve asks.

Dio smiles
"No i do not recall a time before the convent. All i know is i grew up there. I was brought as an infant. Or that is what Mother Superior told me. And why. I do not know other then what Mother Superior told me. That my parents would come and get me when the time was right. When that time was or is... no idea."
She shrugs lightly
"But you are not impolite it is what it is. And i have shared this with others. I know the sisters of the convent are still after me. Most died during the fight on the mountaintop. Only sister of enforced repentance survived and fled the fight."

Maeve is still curious.
"What did the teach you in the convent. Did you ever made any vows to enter the convent?"

"The nuns worship Cruel Prince Julian who slaughtered legions of demons. But if it is really admiring worship or fearing worship i do not know. I had sworn no vows basically none of the girls who lived there.
Only the nuns were allowed full worship. We could o ly watch from the back and prepare the halls and altars. "

Dio is clearly thinking.. deep she then nods.
"I am sure i am. But my exact age i wouldn't know. Time is, as you know, within Chaos strange. And i know i spend quite some time in training with Lord Suhuy.
But yes i believe i am what is concidered an adult. "
She smiles a bit.
"I had tried to puzzle this out when Lorelei had asked me. She said if i was an adult i could have just left. But i couldn't. Wouldn't be able to go far."

"The nuns of the convent would not permit that you leave? And the other girls would denunciate you right?"
"Do you know if any of the other girls studies with Suhuy. Who where the other girls."
"Aside the training with Lord Suhuy, I assume, shape-shifting and Logurs. Did you got any training in weapons any education in history, laws, culture, religion of the Courts from the nuns?"

Dio laughs
"The other girls were nkt pleasant no. But neither were the nuns."
She is silent for a moment
"No that is not fair of me. It was harsh and eating and sleeping a privilege to be earned. It gave me the endurance and the experiences tk survive harsh environments."
She shakes her head then
"Oh no no that was the strange part. Only i was brought to Lord Suhuy for training. The other girls were not allowed to touch power. Thay is why they were there i think.
With Lord Suhuy i learned Shapeshifting Logrus and forms of magic. When the teachings were done i was brought back to the convent and was put on a stricter and more tiring working schedule and less sleep or food. To keep the mind occupied and the body tranquil. The nuns said. So even if i could find a way to leave i was to weak."
Agains she shakes her head
"No all the other things the nuns said it would just clutter my mind and i should focus on my duties. If i had to knoe something i would learn it in time "

"I try to understand why my Aunt is so suspicious because of you. She would not treat my father like this." She thinks a moment.
"Well on the other hand she might through him directly into the dungeons without asking any question."

Dio shrugs.
"The moment she heard i was from the courts the Regent was highly suspicious of me and i was less then welcome. She has not thrown me in a cell which i am gratefull of. Even before she knew of the convent she wasn't fond of the fact that i was present.
She called me a spy or a sleeper agent from Chaos. Which i am neither. I think."

"If we happen to go to the Courts someday, we have to ask my father about you, maybe he knows something." Maeve suggests.
"I have to think if I have heard about the convent you grew up in." Maeve ponders.
[OOC GM anything Maeve knows about the Convent of Cruel Prince Julian.]

"Perhaps i do not know. It is the puzzle of my life. Sometimes i have regrets of following the dream out.. but then again i would probably not have gotten in actual contact with others from my dreams. Like you and... well.. Dirk."
She blushes a bit

"So some thing about me, whihc I might have to before. My mother is Princess Llewella of Amber and of Rebma. My father is Lysander Helgram, first-born son of Duke Ramon Helgram.
"I grew up in shadow in the place where we met in our Dream. My mother took me to Amber after the war."
"My father later found out about me and took me to the Courts."
"So now your turn to asks me what you want to know?" Maeve offers with a warm smile.

"Alright. When we met in the dreams when you were a young girl. You called yourself differently? Why?
Has your mother kept your prisoner in that shadow? And did she keep secrets? "
Dio sits a bit closer curious about her friend
