Isabelle’s look of surprise and her immediate reaction to the presence of Silk and the others amused her greatly, causing her to laugh out loud at the young girl. Once done she ran her fingers through her soft, silken hair and smiled charmingly at the young lady. [colour=gold]“A pleasure to see you again my dear,”[/colour] Silk said with a modest bow. She walked over to Isabelle and looked her straight in the eyes and smiled with infectious cheer. Or was it amusement? She offered Isabelle her hand in friendship. For now she would play nice nice with the idealistic brat.

[colour=gold]“We may have gotten off on the wrong foot yesterday. My apologies. Let’s start again. My name is Silk, merchant, adventurer and professional trickster,”[/colour] she said with complete honesty. After all none of those things were technically lies. She simply didn't tell her the whole truth, which in present company would have caused no end of problems. Whether Isabelle accepted her hand or not didn't matter to Silk. She took a step back and gestured to Matthew. [colour=gold]“And of course you remember Matthew? That charming young man from yesterday? Turns out were partners now. So let’s all play, OK?”[/colour] she said in a soft, cheerful tone.
