[color=C6DEFF]"Lady Vanessa! I'm delighted to meet such a refined noblewoman! Albeit my time right now is limited, I thought I could at least stop to introduce myself properly. It would be rather rude of my part to not do so. I'm Bast. Bast Ragoczy."[/color] [. . .]
[color=C6DEFF]"Since I came here to introduce myself, I could as well invite you to have a nice tea or maybe drink a good wine and talk for a while on our free time. I somehow feel that we might have somewhat similar ways of seeing the world."[/color]

Oh, my! Someone with rather respectable manners had approached her! Clearly, this man's style was very in tune with those of the Phantom herself. Perhaps to show him that very though she had, she imitated his gestures and smile, including the cane tap. "[color=lime]Anytime, sire Ragoczy! Merely approach me whenever you are up for wine or tea. Even a dance, if that's what you seek! Whichever of those, t'is fine by me.[/color]" She took note of Eilidh's reaction expression upon their interactions and, as the man seemed to have business with the centaur, she curtsied as was expected from a lady in the presence of such an elegant gentleman, and left them to their own devices.

"You can hug Ditzy if you want, Mama often do that when Ditzy is sad."

The offer was quickly denied with a shake of her head. "[color=lime]Your concern is appreciated, but uneeded, sir. It is good to know that the heart that beats in your chest has enough space for even an unknown lady such as myself.[/color]" As she worder the last sentence, her hands went to the left side of her chest, tangling their fingers with each other, and then imitated the beat of the mentioned organ for a couple of seconds. Her attention was then diverted to the Viera as he adressed her.

[color=8dc73f]"I-I'm sorry for your family, Lady Vanessa. I do admire your strength though... It takes a lot of courage and strength to keep going forward after losing everything... I, more than anyone else, know this feeling."[/color]

Whether or not the cold and firm gaze of the hare-like man had affected her was something that Vanessa didn't let seep through. However, a hint of warmth managed to slip into her smile at Freyr's attempt of comforting her. It was a notable shift in attitude, considering how her statement of being from Varjo had tensed the atmosphere quite notably. A melodious giggle emerged from her throat at the display; this man would surely be fun to hang around with. "[color=lime]Ufufu~ Steely eyes that could pierce a wall, yet you are sweet and mellow like honey, sire. Yet, I ask of you to judge me not for my tragic past but for what I shall do.[/color]" And, for that matter...

"[color=f26522]Well, we're happy to have you, Miss Vanessa. Welcome to the Guild.[/color]" [. . .] "[color=f26522]... Speaking of quests, will you be doing one right now?[/color]"
[/quote]

The phantom walked at a leisurely pace to the quest board and looked at the different jobs. Then, after a brief minute, she raised her cane and pressed it against one of the quests: [u]Who Are You To Judge?[/u] "[color=lime]I choose this one! The one recipient of this man's love has been taken away from him!. How tragic, how cruel! How can a lady such as myself allow this travesty to happen under her watchful eye?[/color]" Her speech was energic and melodramatic but, as true her words could possibly be, there was another reason she picked this quest: Sightseeing. Vanessa wanted to go sightseeing
