"If my reputation matters far less than my goals, Mr Otto. Though I think your reputation less scandalous than you say. Either way..." She grins and taps the brand on her cheek, "I've never been one to care about what people think."
"I will do what I think is needed, and travel what paths I may. Whatever happens, I will somehow muddled through."
She listens to his words on the politics of Ul'dah. "Well then... it seems meeting you was fortunate."
Looking around, she stands, "So you think I appear as your courtesan though?" Evangeline laughs, "Allow me to give you a lesson for once, Master Otto. You would not know this, but crisis's of dignity and image are an illness of the recently elevated." Winking, "My worth and station course through my blood, it is engraved upon my bones, my lineage, my name. I could be the poorest and most wretched of people, and It would not be damaged."
"Let us speak again on this social event... but until then, do not worry overmuch about how I might be seen." She smiles.
Otto considers the womans words for a moment, loathe to let anyone lecture him but he tolerates it. He stands to match her taking all the paperwork he had brought off the table to present it to her "Take this, start somewhere."
"You never know, it might be a nice thing when people think your a woman of Otto's. Better prices, people on that very list less willing to give you hardship or trouble or the run around. Im not some immensely powerful man, but I do believe in having earned a fair reputation, one built on real principles."
Otto takes one last chance to look over Eva, noticing her relative attractiveness, paying attention to her branding on her face. She is shapely, nearly idealistic of her kind though lacking in some stature. He finishes his appraising and quietly gestures over a man-servant and speaks to him while looking at her "Escort her out, have her taken to a bank and help her with whatever she asks for the next bell. She leaves unaccosted and fairly."
Otto bows only slightly "I'd bow more to someone of such magnitude and esteem but I only know to show this. I hope you can see past this next time we meet, preferably at a dinner table so you can see my charm in action. Good day Miss Primrose."
