Frelda nodded as he spoke of some place called Bretony. There was an anxiousness about him, as if he were restraining himself from doing something. She brushed the thought away and continued listening to him as he answered her question about his parents. So he's responsible for his family's fortune. Wonder what he did...her thoughts were cut off as he began talking again. A compliment, good form on his part. She blinked girlishly and tucked her chin close to her chest so that her hair would mask part of her face as if in embarrassment. She almost jumped when he proclaimed that he had never asked her name. The expression he used made her smile, genuinely oddly enough, and a small giggle escaped her mouth as she began to respond.
"My name is Frelda Knollin. I, too, have brought my family to their current fortune." She glanced down at the painting that was resting beside her chair. She blinked her eyes as she decided not to mention it and then she caught a glimpse of the younger man she had seen earlier. He was eying his parents with a clouded expression which she traced to see Mrs. Labeau speaking with the man from the College, and Mr. Labeau speaking with the blonde that the man named Garrick had been talking with. There was a look in the host's eyes that Frelda knew a bit too well and her heart felt as if it had been bogged down. Poor boy, she thought as her eyes softened and returned to look upon the boy as he left through a door. She looked back at Climbs with her brows furrowed.
"I'm terribly sorry, but would you excuse me?" She got up quickly and made her way through the mingling bodies of people she didn't know until she pushed her way through the door that apparently led to the kitchen, completely forgetting about the painting that rested between her chair and a little end table. The smell of good food hit her nose hard, but in a pleasant manner, and she couldn't help but feel herself relax a little. It took her a moment to grasp herself again so she could take account of who all was in the room. The boy was standing by a cooking spit and she started to go towards him, but what would she say? I'm sorry that you have to witness your parents infidelity...that's a great way to start talking to a young man. She rolled her eyes absently to herself as she readjusted her direction a little to start speaking with the cook instead.
"What have you cooked up for all the guests here tonight? Something tasty I hope." She looked down into the spit with curiosity and then looked back to the cook with a smile before realizing that people with money probably didn't say 'tasty' too often. Not that she cared, and continued to smile anyways.
