It's a refreshing, open-minded way to approach the world, especially for someone as sheltered as Viatorus. "Me, too... well, when I'm not feeling too nervous." She grins and gives Lyra a gentle scratch behind the ears. "I've always found, at least for me, that my dreams make sense while I'm having them, and only get all weird after I've woken up. Do they work like that for the dreams you create? What's the strangest dream you've made?"
"It is because of the magic?" she asks curiously. "Or, um, your family's history with magic?" His sister doesn't seem nearly as old-fashioned, but she's the one who has to interact with the rest of the world. She briefly wonders if Isidor knows about things like swine flu, but that thought is cut short when Viatorus asks about her first date. She blinks, hand pausing halfway down Lyra's back, before laughing self-consciously. "Well, sure. It was strange, and awkward, and nerve-wracking, too. I never liked dating." She blushes a little at her admission, but there's a smile, too, an amusement at her own foibles. "I always did better if I was friends with someone first. Then the dating didn't feel so strange."
