Faye trailed behind Jaques, blue eyes trailing over their surroundings with attentive interest as they walked. She did her best to tune out the muffled sounds of the nearby lessons and focus on Jaques' explanations instead, but a few particularly colorful comments did reach her ears... and further deterred her from listening in lest it begin to feel like eavesdropping. She rested her sights upon Lily, offering a soft smile before dipping into a polite curtsy. "Thank you, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Lily." She left the introductions at that, letting the cook return to her work. "Afraid they'll burn down the kitchen unsupervised?" she murmured half in jest in response to Jaques. Given her own relatively unsuccessful exploits in the kitchen, it seemed like a logical concern.
She settled her attention on Chiane as she approached and joined their small group, once again offering a dazzling smile and a well-practiced curtsy. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Chiane, thank you." She paused, glancing out to Val out of the corner of her eyes. Fortunately for the Seeker, she did not reprimand him (he had at least covered his mouth, that was an improvement), she only gave him a bewildered stare before returning her attention to Chiane. "Yes, he mentioned you were busy with lessons, some of which I witnessed myself. There's no need to apologize. Rather, I should thank you for taking the time to meet with us." She gave a faint nod of understanding. "Self-defense is a useful thing for anything to learn, and I'm partial to conjury myself. I don't doubt, however, that it is difficult to change such deeply ingrained mindsets. Compared to that, the physical aspect of training them is probably a breeze."
