Katherine glared a moment "You pray for their opinion of me yet decide to besmirch my name in front of them the first they see of me?" she seems to care little for Annabel's diligence and doesn't remark when Sequoia brings her up "I take it you are not so ill informed as to be unaware of the latest affectation amongst the populace these past months." she says giving Sequoia a look that only spells ill, yes.. Some of the poor soothsayer's stay in katherine's hospitality is like as not going to involve being inside the noble's belly or balls. Least it'll let poor Annabel see what that looks like from the outside.
