[Lorenz chuckled, recalling the moment in his youth when a friend had taken him to the taverns outside of their academy and told him, in no small words, that it was important for the noble and common classes to intermingle. 'We can benefit from crossing the threshold and learning more about regular folk.'Ferdinand had told him as they sipped drinks in the corners of a small tavern, watching the travelers and local residents laugh and make merry. 'We scarcely understand the reality of their lives. In turn, they do not know about us.'
Although Ferdinand had turned it into a jest about how it was believed that young nobles possessed tails under their finery-- as was reportedly believed by the working class-- the words had stuck with Lorenz and inspired him to change.]
Had my eyes not been opened to the larger world, we may not be having this conversation. Everything I understand to this day, I've had to learn anew. A lifetime of being kept sheltered behind the ivory walls did little to foster such an education.
