Her eyebrow arches and she smiles a little, as if thinking Jules is a little odd - but actually, her mind is trying to imagine if someone would tell Ellie that. Serious being brave. That's rather weird. Yet, she doesn't comment on it, simply sipping the rest of the wine, setting the glass down, and playing her finger over the rim again.

"That's too bad," a sigh. "I was hoping I would be able to read something different for a change soon." She leans her cheek on her hand again, smiling at Jules. "The readings here are rather dull. I don't know if you have had the chance to read anything here," she gestures vaguely to their surroundings.

She's talking more to herself by now, looking at the ceiling distractedly, "Maybe we could sign a petition and send it to the Queen for more variety that doesn't involve magic." A little pause, and she blinks, looking at Jules. "Maybe you should be the one sending the message, given you're used to deal with a Queen. Kind of. Unless there isn't a Queen anymore over the United Kingdom in 2007?"
