She eyed him closely trying to see if she could see through his trick he was about to perform and was thoroughly impressed with his little display in sleight of hand, her eyes widening a little with her mouth ajar, she smiled and once the flower appeared, she marveled at it, putting a hand over her lips, impressed and taken aback, a bit flushed by the act and gave him a little golf clap applause with praying hands as she took the flower, cradling it with both hands by the blossom, and brought it to her face to inhale its scent
"My.. You have proven your trickery to be a flattering move.."

She smiled at him raising her head, deciding he was worthwhile of her time and effort 

"I will gladly aid you in your quest for this knowledge, Newt, though as for what I want, I shall decide after I have gone to be with Marius for his last moments... I am a simple woman, so where can I perhaps find you once I have completed my work with this man..."

"Ah, pfft. It's no quest really, just a fella's odd fascination for the obscure. And I'm stayin' 'ere at the inn for now. Got a spare room they're lettin' me pay for. And if I haven't made this clear, I do appreciate ye lettin' me see their work. Marius you said his name was?"
