That she can agree on, with another smile, and something that might be laughter, though it is quiet. Not for anyone but him to hear. Just a shy giggle she stops from going too far.

"No. We do - backwards." Most people are supposed to get to know one another, fall in love, and then get married. "Can... get to know each other?"

Good marriages, she knew, had more than just alliances and children, the ones that worked, that truly lasted, like her parents, had more in it than just the politics.

But she doesn't want to weigh it down with anything sad or pressing, just looking to know him, understand the circumstances they were in. "...Uhm. I - I..." yes that was how that sentence started. "I like- dancing. Like dancing and - singing. And - Up Bread?" There, that was a start, as she looked back at him, both to make sure she made sense as she tried talking in his language more and more, but also to say: his turn.
