"And a splendid Lord your son will be," he replied to the Lady of the house, nodding his head. In his opinion, he was rather leery of the Ambrose children but kept his personal word about others to himself. They were paying him after all.<br/><br/>Louis smiled at Lady Constance, nodding his head in reply but feeling some eeriness in the bottom of his stomach when she touched his locket. Was it against the rules to wear trinkets? It didn't seem to be, as she moved away from him to inspect Annalisa. He sighed in relief, glad that he seemed to escape trouble...<em>for now</em>, he reminded himself and stayed on his guard again.<br/><br/>Annalisa, for her part, simply smiled and nodded when the Lady talked to her. Though she despised her situation at the moment, she did like living and not having sharp or dangerous up in her body. She visibly relaxed when the Lady tended to the other guests, lowering her head now to look at the floor. Louis looked at his sister briefly, wanting to comfort her when he remembered why he was here.<br/><br/>He went to Captain Henry Flashman, bowing in greeting to the man and to the Lady as well since she was talking to him. "May I take the captain to his seat, my Lady?" Louis asked the captain in a respectful, kind tone. Smiling in a cheerful manner as if he liked serving others and he was honored to be even be able to talk to the man at this moment.<br/><br/>The footman gestured to a nearby chair that was still vacant. One that was close to the Lady so that they may continue to talk to one another. "Would you like anything as well? Captain and my Lady? I am here to serve you."<br/><br/>From her place, Annalisa snorted a bit to see her own brother grovel like that.
