Isabella strided along with the guard, keeping an easy pace as she surveyed the statues with interest.
When she saw the statue of Immortal Valentine she gasped and started laughing.
"Sorry...sorry" She sputtered "It's just that...well it's Lady Valentine." She shook her head, desperately trying to pull her smile back into a concerned serious expression. She reached out a hand and ran it along the walls, feeling the age of it, the years and years of history embedded in it.

As she listened to the Guard's childhood story she smiled slightly at him, all soft edges and curved warmness.  
"I used to do the same thing when I was younger and I visited my sister here.  Used to go to the library lots too, poked my head into a lot of forbidden books.  Sadly, I found nothing." She chuckled, letting her hand graze the guard's shoulder ever so slightly.

[i]Was she overdoing it? She needed information about the castle after all...a tiny flirtatious risk with the head of guard shouldn't be too much[/i]

"Sounds impressive, all those statues.  Though, I suppose I never had a large affinity for them.  Unless they carry secrets." With this she let her lips stretch into a sly smile, raising her eyebrows at the guard as she continued walking, the elegant sway of her hips evident.
