Very impractical if one was to ask her but it was the fashion of the time in which she had jumped so she had very little choice in the matter least she stick out like a sore thumb.  It was hard at times to remain in character, as it were, for she always had a hard time holding her tongue. At least as far as she could remember she had a hard time of it.  Which given her lack of memory that was not really saying much, still there were benefits to this time that she found joy in.<br/><br/>The hunting was fairly good and though she was a woman she was allowed to hunt with the men unlike other times when she had jumped through time. Those times when she was forced to hide her passion for the thrill of the hunt, she often was tempted to just break the rules and show them what she, a woman, could really do.  Yet no, she could not do such a thing. There was delicate balance that she had to keep in this world and should she forget herself she could alter time itself.

So there was a dinner being through in his honor, to welcome him home and give him a chance to â€˜WOWâ€™ them all with his heroic tales.<br/><br/>If she did not need the girl for some company she would choose to not attend this event, but seeing as how she needed some form of social interaction she was going to suck it up and deal with it. She could luck out and would be some interesting people there.<br/><br/>The carriage finally came to a stop and Oriana or  Megan McCarthrine as she was referred to in this time, stepped out to look about the mansion where the house was to be held. Her driver held her hand to steady her more for the show of the waiting staff then that she actually needed the help.  Offering her driver, and one of the few whom she trusted a smile, she allowed herself to be lead into the main house where this even would be taking place.
