Hope's brows went up as she heard Veronica mention men's fantasies and immediately glanced down at her form. She was a bit insecure with being albino, and of being daintily built. It made her look rather doll-like, and there had been incidents of young men at her school teasing her for being a little girl. It was partially that antagonizing that led to her abilities awakening. Snapping her mind back to attention, she glanced at Veronica once more. "It is more than understandable that you wouldn't want to be spied on. I understand the warding, and will permit it as long as it is only contained to your room."<br/><br/>Glancing out the window, noting how Alucard's voice finally left her mind, she let out a soft sigh as she folded her fingers before her lips. "My servants are forbidden from entering my private quarters, other than Miss Victoria of course and my butler. I understand your concern." Lifting her fingers slowly, Hope rubbed at her temples before rising from her seat, starting to walk toward the door of her office. "There is no need to thank me for my time, Miss Lancaster. We are going to be working together from this day and it is incredibly important that we get to know each other. If you desire, you may join me for a private dinner this evening. I won't subject you to the mess hall on your first day."<br/><br/>Hope offered Veronica a genuine smile at this gesture, her feminine form visible now that she was standing. Reaching for a white coat that was hung on a hook, she draped it over her arm before addressing the Iscariot nun once more. "Now if you excuse me, it is time for my morning walk. You are more than permitted to join me, if you so desire." Hope nodded her head gently to the nun before opening her office door, slowly walking toward the long staircase that led to the lobby of the building. There she saw Dameon waiting for her, and smiled at him warmly as she motioned for him to walk with her.<br/><br/>"Waiting long I presume?" She giggled a bit before slowing her stride a bit, knowing that he may have something to say to her that was of importance. "Did you deal with the matter left in your stead already? You are always so sufficient." She smiled a bit, her pink eyes sparkling as she walked past random servants and soldiers, watching them bow before her and cast her eyes behind her to see if the nun was following.
