Regaining her composure was not too terribly difficult. With the household she was raised in, she often was expected to put on a brave face even when her illness was ravaging her. She took a few slow breaths before smiling back at Peter. [color=00ccff]"My apologies - I am afraid I am not normally so easily prone to tears,"[/color] Nora said quietly. She laughed quietly at Peter's small joke, enjoying the quintessential British-ness and mathematic nature of this conversation. [color=00ccff]"Of course. We're British - a stiff upper lift and a cup of tea solve all problems,"[/color] Nora replied. Her voice was soft but yet it was not meek. She was a quiet individual by nature by after tearing up in front of Peter, any shyness was gone. He was one of the few to call her Miss Kingston as well. He seemed to be a good man. Vera was lucky. As they rejoined the others, Nora had regained her composure. She noted how George referred to Vera by her Christian name - it struck her as a bit odd. There were intricate rules when it came to matters of address amongst the peerage - the same rules that made it almost [i]impossible[/i] to differentiate between Nora, her sisters, and her mother in conversation. There were too many Lady Kingstons in this world. And while some did prefer to be addressed by Christian names - or without title, such as herself - she could not help but note how a man that terrified both her and Vera not more than an hour ago was now on such friendly terms with Vera. She smiled as Vera addressed her as Miss Kingston. [color=00ccff]"Yes, we should be quite alright. Thank you for the escort...Peter,"[/color] Nora said, catching herself before calling him Lord Captain. He had asked that she use Peter - and so she would. She nodded at the two gentlemen before following after Vera and going inside.
