Miss Blaire (or do you prefer Alison?),

Jamie's unintentionally reminded me that while I've been here for a little while now, I haven't actually really given much thought into attending actual classes - which is mostly because I wasn't sure I'd be allowed to stay. Now that I'm settled, though, and Mister Wisdom's scowls in my direction seem to have abruptly gone the way of the dodo (almost worrisome, that), it's something I should like to give some thought. While I am technically a high school graduate, I wouldn't mind broadening my studies out a bit further. I know Emma intends on giving me some sessions on business, and I'd be lying if I said a formal music class didn't sound like a very enjoyable prospect, especially under such an accomplished tutor. (Now you've seen the rich, dignified version of a fanboyish squeal. Shhh. Our little secret.)

If you aren't too busy tomorrow, do you think I could see you for a little bit, to talk about possible classes and the like? There are a few things I'm curious about - if there's an actual place set aside where a lad can get in a smoke without being given the evil eye, for example - and while I know Miss Braddock and Mister Wisdom would be willing to discuss it with me, I'd rather like to meet you and Miles, anyway. Sarah's been a very good friend to me since I got here (though I think I may have rather messed that one up a tad..), and since she speaks so highly of the ickle guy, I'd like to say hello. And, er, maybe see if he likes the piano at all.. Jamie's fault, and Christmas' fault, but something about the kid makes me feel like playing The Rainbow Connection is just the right thing to do. Go figure.

You aren't a telepath, are you? Your dartboard-with-a-picture musing is disturbingly similar to a Christmas present I have planned. Might make a bloke wonder.
