for half a second, she contemplated just... walking away. she was bad at social interactions, it seemed the man wasn't in a very social mood, and maybe if he'd been anyone else, she would have. instead, some sense of social binding kept her boots glued to the floor, and it was only because the man wasn't just anyone that she stayed put.
sit like a proper lady, he prompted, and she laughed at that. sliding back on the seat, posture straight by nature, she offered a slight smile and a quirk of her brow as she sipped the colorful drink in her hand, shrugging a shoulder. "my apologies, sir, they didn't really teach us manners where i'm from." saying please and thank you was certainly a hell of an adjustment, but she liked to think she was getting better at remembering those things, and not seeming like a total heathen.
at his comment about the blackfallen, though, bianca scowled just a bit, setting the glass down in front of her. "you shouldn't worry about them." she dismissed immediately, shaking her head, as though he'd expressed fear over the threat butterflies might pose. "there are things far scarier than children with their panties in a twist." she wasn't covering any fear - the blonde genuinely lacked any fear of the rebel faction. maybe she was brave, maybe she was stupid, or maybe she'd just been conditioned out of fear. the things she'd seen, done, endured, they made blackfall seem like a daycare in her eyes.
he asked how she was, and she could have answered all sorts of things. trying out therapy, and apparently i have issues with my feelings, or a woman at a makeup counter offered to show me how to cover up my scars and now i have to deal with that new emotional baggage. instead, she only shrugged a shoulder, because her little problems weren't really anything for the man to worry about. "i signed up for a spinning class, that's about it." it was easier that way, keeping her issues to herself. "how about you? what drives a king to a little place like this?"
