And like a mother scolding a wayward child, when Beth comes out with that, she's given a rather sharp look that she had best remember what she's been told.

She thanks the guard as they walk past - for all she's brusque she's never beyond appreciation either. These men worked hard, and were loyal, and she could never find fault with such things, even if for all she told Beth to do so, she had never lowered her gaze for anyone. Here's to hoping Beth following as she said, not as she did.

"Your grace, it is a pleasure as always." That isn't a falsehood, for all these things are so layered, she genuinely enjoys the other woman's company. "I did not mean to interrupt, it was just a matter of slight urgency." She clears her throat and turns, indicating to Beth behind her and in turn sweeps her hand up as an indication for the girl to step forward. "May I present to you Miss Elizabeth Greene, she is another of the.... Outsiders, like myself."
