Silk followed Matthew’s lead, immediately realizing that he truly was from a completely different rung of society than herself, mercenary or no. He clearly had connections and knew how to use them. Silk had connections of her own, however they were of a completely different nature entirely. With that said Silk was in no way overawed by the experience, having been in plenty of places far grander than this. The only difference was that she was rarely an invited guest. Silk laughed cheerfully as Matthew tried to delicately approach what he must have thought was a touchy subject for her. It was kind of cute. Certainly better than the usual paranoia and fear that her heritage, once realized, often invoked.

[colour=gold]“Yeah, so I've been told,”[/colour] Silk replied as she tested the springs of the bed in the way that people do, by bouncing on the edge of the mattress. The bed was plumb and soft, far too soft in fact. She would sleep far too deeply in a bed like this and that could often end very badly. She looked over her shoulder at her host. If Matthew had expected a strong reaction to the question he was going to be sorely disappointed. [colour=gold]“Aha, yeah, I guess you could say that,”[/colour] she said simply in reply, the pleasant smell of crushed vanilla seeds making her nose twitch. [colour=gold]“No one to teach me in an orphanage. And no desire to learn now.”[/colour]

She kicked her legs absent-mindedly as she listened to Matthew, smiling as he attempted to break down her life through a series of observations and logical deduction. It was a skill set that she was familiar with, using specific elements of it herself when it came to judging the suitable of a mark. Though she was nowhere near as good as Matthew it seemed. In fact in some respects he was more of less dead-on, though she wasn't going to tell him that. She took a sip of pleasant smelling liquid. [colour=gold]“Well, as your employer I suppose that I should be privy to certain details,”[/colour] Silk replied in a cheerful yet aloof manner. [colour=gold]“Indulge me, regale me with your tales of daring do and heroic exploits.”[/colour]
