You really can just call me Mirabelle... it might be confusing if any other Housemaiden were to show up. [ She's certainly not the only one! There was a full House of them and ideally they were all fine now, now that the King's been done in by his own Craft. Perhaps they too will end up wandering around here!

But a deep breath. Okay. She's done it. She is talking (mostly) steadily. ]

Um, well... do you like to read? Are you able to eat? If so, do you have a favorite food? Are there offensive subjects I should avoid mentioning?

[ Meeting Siffrin and Odile had taught her... there are many different cultures out there. It's best to learn to be respectful of all of them. ]
