A-Ah...

[Said uninspired nonsense has absolutely worked, unfortunately, if the way Constance's cheeks immediately go red has anything to say about it. To pass Level 1, but trip instantly at Level 2...how terribly embarrassing...]

You are...too sweet, Hilda...

[As much as she would love to insist that that was flirting, definitely, that was definitely her responding to that flirting...

...not quite. It's enough to get Constance to step away for a moment, to try and get herself back under control.]


Oh, I completely fumbled it, didn't I! You're far too good at this!

[She's always been a firm believer in practice makes perfect (unless you're already perfect, which in many ways she is!), so it would make sense that a woman like Hilda - who makes all this look so easy, you'd think she sprung from the womb ready to charm the midwives - would be incredibly good at it. But still! Why is it so simple to master complex spells from complicated textbooks, but this...something that should be so straightforward and easy is causing her to completely unravel?!]

I...yes, you're right. I must keep trying!

[She did manage to keep up with that initial comment of Hilda's, didn't she? Alright, perhaps she fell apart a little bit on the follow-up, but! No skill that was worth mastering would ever be easy, would it? And this one is essential! If she's going to re-enter noble society, it's imperative she can play this game.

Besides, as far away as it is, she will need to obtain a suitable husband at some point...a political marriage isn't out of the question, but it would be nice to be able to banter with one's paramour...]


I really do appreciate you taking the time to do this with me, you know.

[And for once, there's no forced noble airs or smugness in her voice; it's almost....genuine.

Stranger things have happened.]


You're a lot more talented than people give you credit for, Hilda.

[It was definitely meant to be a compliment! Constance just...isn't all that good at subtlety and/or not being uncomfortably candid with her opinions.

(if it wasn't. completely obvious)]


It's genuine, I assure you. I've very much enjoyed our time here. You, and the other Golden Deer, you...

[ooohhhhHHHH let her stop for a moment...there's a Feeling caught in her throat and it's kind of uncomfortable, just give her a minute to work it out...]

Well, you've...basically taken me in when you didn't need to and I'm...well, I'm very grateful. I only hope I can make it up to you one day.

[This is why she would never agree to take-backs...who is she supposed to watch awful TV with and drink awful wine with in the Black Eagles? Hubert? She has to laugh.]

When my house is restored to its former stupendous glory, I will simply have to have a feast in your honour!

[Can we just ignore any awkward 'Coco there's going to be a whole-ass war' thoughts? Good.]
