The subject at hand brought the girl in dressed in blue to reflect on the matter for a bit.... well, perhaps it was less reflecting, and more thinking of how to put her thoughts forward -- her reaction to the discussion had been quite clear, a light, amused smirk, though wherever she was for or against this shift of the damsel's code was up for the others to interpret:
"Ah, climbing trees you say? Though this was once considered not very damsel-like indeed, I do believe times have changed as it has been pointed out. We have ladies participating in all kinds of sports nowadays, do we not? What did they add recently at the Winter Olympics... Biathlon if I recall properly? I am certain that while we may not have a body as hardy as the likes of this gentleman here, some more outdoor activities leads to the strengthening of the character... " she says as she glances at Hawthorne. One may say that indeed, she had become accustomed to his rather... durable body. It was quite a personal experience, wasn't it? But even then, it didn't take much for someone to see that Hawthorne was someone who had an athlete's body.
"Mmm, yes, though that is not to say that there are merits in going the other direction, like my upbringing. Different tools for different purposes no? If everyone was the same talks at meetings and ballrooms would get boring very quick. Hehe."
The girl in blue snickers with a hint of delight as she looks at the gathering here -- it was rather interesting and diverse to say the least. For someone who had never met these people, of course. Vivienne then picked up on the subject of Lia's interest in stones:
"Oh, stones? Do you fancy collecting them for the history? Or do you just appreciate their shapes? If I were to have a hobby of sorts, it would be sketching things..."
She pulls out a sketching book of a certain brand and look which... Liana may find it very familiar. As if someone used a similar book to convey a message to her this morning. In fact, wasn't that person the very first to speak to her today after she woke up?
"But alas my skills are not exactly to an acceptable standard for now. Perhaps I should have followed my father's advice and gone into a school of fine arts rather than acting..."
It would happen perhaps as well that the person that talked to her was once an actress... but it would appear that the girl in blue in front of her is not interested on continuing that topic. Why did she even bring this up, one has to wonder? Her gaze shifts to the person who presumably would be the most fit of the title 'young master' here -- the girl with an eye patch.
"Do you not have cats at home?" she asks, observing Sierra's reaction. "Perhaps this is a good day indeed. It would be an opportune time to consider getting one perhaps! Raising them is a good exercise on one's temperament, and especially on one's patience... though this one here seems to be fairly manageable. Ah, my mother had the mistake of having too many cats at home once. It's like having three extra siblings, perhaps worst."

She flicks open a silk fan adorned in blue and white, mirroring her dress's motifs. Hiding her visage behind it, leaving only the top half of her head starting from her eyes visible, the girl in blue looks at Liana momentarily with a playful stare, before shifting said stare towards the 'young man' next to her that had been her companion on the way to the club.
"I think it would be better for my butler to do the introductions. Call me a traditionalist that appreciates procedures! Or perhaps I am a bit lazy... but that is part of a lady's charm sometimes, isn't it? Dames like to keep their secrets after all... though perhaps he is not as inclined as I am for these kind of games."
Though no one could see it, the girl in blue's grin was probably quite large by now. She was having a lot of fun here, or perhaps she was just naturally a very playful individual that reveled in these kinds of meandering talks. One could imagine that she may also just lead a boring life as a member of a well-off family and fresh encounters like these instilled her with excitement and playfulness she could not show at home...
"What about you three? Are you uh, their bodyguards? Siblings? Clients and a member of staff? Father and Mother and Daughter?"
