"I don't want us to fall out of the public eyes entirely either. It suited our father perhaps but if we stay out of touch too long, we might find someone has spoken their way around us and readied to invade or simply claim the place." Her tone was serious, and she sighed. Looking at her plate, she waved for Angelique and Heidi to leave them alone, before turning her eyes towards him.<br/><br/>"As for what that family did to fall to obscurity other than rumors, people are harsh about rumors but they believe them easier if someone is out of sight and out of mind, unable to defend themselves on time. Here, if someone made such a claim, I'd seek to ridicule them in turn saying they sought to seduce me but got upset when I laughed at their failure to perform. I might get a bit of reputation as a young woman yearning for fun, not perhaps getting to marry but I could make someone seem like a bitter schemer by the time I was through. Or I might make it go around so that I'd come off smelling of roses, a young maiden seduced to be bedded but the seducer's inability to seal the deal leaving me one to pursue still?"<br/><br/>Her tone was joking but she seemed intent on trying to be useful. Sipping on her drink, she seemed to fall in deep thought for a little while, before finally speaking up again. "House Ravos can be interesting allies, and I'd like to meet them sometime. I think it would be bad thing to leave this place alone though, especially if there's construction going on too. A rival might try and interfere, leaving us coming to a unsafe home that might be a death-trap. I'll stay and see about things here, protect your return." She smiled, but then took a look at the ring.<br/><br/>"Blocco il seme? I'll keep it in mind and away from sight of any others. Its a good precaution to have." She hummed. "Though there's only few men that drew my attention that closely, and ..." She looked at him. "... some of them are beyond pursuit, by now." Shrugging faintly, she slipped it around her finger.<br/><br/>"Of course, if I happen to enjoy dimmed lights in a room so its impossible to tell who the other is by things beyond touch, its my own right to keep protected from any scandals such a thing might cause." She tapped the ring and kissed it in her finger then.<br/><br/>"I think I'd enjoy halflings around the house though. I have heard from some good authority that they have a lot more freedom in their culture and people dont talk bad of things behind one another's backs on things that would be scandalous to the human gatherings here."
