No? Gracie...said no? For a moment a pout that could only be described as 'adorable' crossed Isabella's face. She could understand why Gracie said that. She could, really, and knowing that Gracie believed in her was a comfort in and of itself...but she couldn't. Not now. Back in the palace she could attend feasts and balls just fine by herself because she was surrounded by people she knew. Her brothers, mother, and father...nobles she knew most of her life. She had even gotten to the point where she could give small speeches and at the last one she even gave a toast, albeit a rather shaky one.

But here? Surrounded by so many people she didn't know? That she was likely going to have to answer a near unending stream of questions for?

[color=ed145b]"Gracie..."[/color] Isabella's mouth turned into a slight frown. She didn't like what she was about to do, but she at least was self aware about her own problems and what she could and couldn't do well. [color=ed145b]"You're coming with me."[/color] She didn't raise her voice, nor was there any hostility in it, but it was firm, unyielding and she likely wouldn't be too happy taking no for an answer - but if Gracie truly wanted to, Isabella likely wouldn't do anything if she still refused.
