Darann was polite, making sure not to roll his eyes even in a playful or teasing manner, also keeping his halfhearted groan of history lessons in his mind where it belonged. He did respect his guard, and he had no reason to complain about her going over bits of history for a guest. He did however prefer that type of topic to the long unspoken thoughts of the nature of his relationships with his current company, specifically his guard. Sure, he'd certainly had a thought or two on the matter, but he wasn't sure about such things. And even if he was so inclined, it was none of Janosz's buisiness. It was especially akward when in front of a guest coming to his ball for such decisions to be decided upon! "Well, I suppose I will eventually discuss the matter with her." he murmured. He wanted to remain neutral for now, but it was harder than he thought with the sudden interest in him and his potential relationship circumstances.

Perking up considerably as the subject turned to science, he began to beam in excitement as his guest expressed what seemed like genuine interest in the topic. Even better, she wanted to see his study...his workshop! Grinning like a child in their favorite candy shop, he returned his attention to the visiting princess.
"Well, this certainly is a pleasant surprise. Of course, I'm more than willing to show off my study to anyone who wishes to see it. I'll confess, I do get quite immerssed in my hobby at times."
