She looked almost bored, but her eyes were narrowed as she listened to the words than rang from behind the mask. "If you have come to pay your respects you should have come through the front door," she told the man calmly, her arms crossed over her chest as she felt like she had nothing to worry about, not yet at least, "Though if you took care of a potential assassin I guess I have to thank you for dispatching him. Now, who are you exactly and what was your relation to my late Father?" Unfolding her arms, her left hand went to the hilt of the rapier she always had at her hip, though she did not close her fingers around it as she did not want the figure to think that she was going to take. Ready to attack? Yes, always... but she wasn't about to, not yet and much like her father told her with fire arms, don't put your finger on the trigger unless you are willing to kill. At the immediate moment she wanted to know what the being wanted, because those who wished to pay their respects rarely decided to crawl in through a window. "And to answer your question [i]old man[/i], you can take my sister to her quarters and secure the two of you there for now, take three of the guards," she directed the doctor, displeasure in her voice for the man having went to her brother rather than herself though she never took her eyes off the cloaked figure. "And you my dear Aunt... you have some explaining to do if you know this being that has entered the hall without proper leave," bright blue eyes shot to her Aunt, the displeasure in her voice turning to anger in her eyes, she was getting sick and tired of people keeping secrets from her that could very well pain members of the house in a bad light. If her Aunt had an assassin on her belt, this was something her father should have known about, and at the very least left a notation about for his successor.
