Hope couldn't help but chuckle and laugh when she saw Lyra, knowing exactly why she was there. And the young leader of Hellsing was about to answer her childhood friend but Dameon beat her to the punch. She simply stood with a mischievous grin across her lips as well before she spoke to answer Dameon's question. "Well I need to change myself. So how about us girls retire to the upper levels of the Manor and prepare ourselves for tea? Dameon, you could ensure that Miss Lancaster and Lyra's things are properly brought to their rooms.<br/><br/>"And considering that Dameon already has a room for you Lyra, I would only hope that it was selected near my own." Giggling a bit like a young school girl would, Hope reached her small hand out and took one of Lyra's bags to lower it into the grass. She then clasped Lyra's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.. It was obvious from the tender glance between the two that they were close and probably had a friendship already well formed. Glancing back at those behind her, Hope simply smirked as the parasol twirled above her. "I know I will be ready in time for tea, and Miss Lancaster can borrow something from my wardrobe if she desires to dress less formal for tea."
