Marey sat at the table, his legs propped up on it, clearly bored. His pale, slender hands rested on his stomach, his fingers crossed, his eyes half-closed, and his gaze directed at the ceiling. An unexpected knock on the door did nothing to change his posture.
-- Come in, -- he replied.
Parfynora's proposal, and indeed her sudden appearance, was unexpected, and at another time, Marey would have called it an unpleasant surprise, but at the moment, in his state of indifferent languor, he did not give her any emotional response.
-- About myself? I am not so important in the present that my past matters, especially since it is not filled with moments that would capture the imagination, -- Marey paused for a long time. Opening his eyes, as if checking whether his uninvited guest had decided to retreat after such a response, he suddenly said. -- But that won't stop us from practicing.
Perhaps he could reinforce the knowledge he had gained in handling weapons. In any case, although Parfynora's company was not something he desired, it was better than staring at the ceiling and filling the room with various creatures.
