[ He rises, and her flickering gaze rises with him: although he is unfamiliar to her in appearance as much as allegiance, he could do considerable harm to a man if he put his mind to it. Most men can, regardless of whether or not they were raised to. The fact remains, however, that he is unarmed, and so the displeasure is still plain on her face. They are both at a glaring disadvantage should anyone come upon them.
And that assumes, anyway, that he will ally himself with her. He does not seem, at any rate, in a hurry to oppose her, to demand from her anything which she cannot give, although when she has not even a wisp of silk to call her own, what could be asked of her? That he makes no such demands is proof abundant that he does not know who she is.
She heaves a sigh at his woeful lack of sword, but then her attention sweeps after the name he gives her. She knows neither the House nor the kingdom. Where, then? A duke, he proclaims, and she measures him again, unable still to reconcile the image of him with a man of any repute. It does not seem so farfetched, given their circumstances, to assume that he will be made to prove himself sooner rather than later.
Offering forth her hand, she keeps her chin lifted as she exchanges her name for his own. In the absence of her usual fine raiment, pride will have to suffice as evidence of who she is. ]
