Sordis couldn't help but chuckle again at Vivienne's comments. Over the years, they'd developed their own kind of bond, and he almost expected for the young woman he was tasked with guarding to bounce back like she had. However, that didn't stop him from worrying over her, to some degree or another.<br/><br/>Taking a breath to recenter himself, Sordis followed after Vivienne at that same distance. His eyes constantly scanned their environment, moving from shadow to shadow as if he constantly expected something to leap from their depths to try to attack her. However, she had posed him a question, and with Vivi he was anything but rude. Clearing his throat, he shrugged slightly before giving her an answer, knowing full well that she couldn't see him.<br/><br/>"I wouldn't say bothersome, personally, just strong-willed. Your Mother does so enjoy playing by the rules of the court, instead of what's right for families. As to why Whitespire has to go to some man that's never lived here... I don't particularly know. It might be Mother dearest trying to say something about ability to lead houses, or something to that effect."<br/><br/>Sordis stepped up beside Vivienne with a grin and nodded at her other question though, a small bit of laughter coming from him as he remembered the Marquess.<br/><br/>"He did, didn't he? Made me wonder if his tailor had any smart comments about having to make children's shoes all the time."
