Before Violetta could answer, the doors were opened by one of the butlers and Treszka walked in.
She had to stop herself from giving a low whistle at the sight of the interior--not quite the proper etiquette in this situation. Nonetheless, it showed on her face how impressed she was with the de Chagny estate's interior. Well-moneyed, indeed. Not that that really mattered to her.
She smiled a bit shyly at Zachaire, and the shyness increased when she realized that his sister was also there.
"H-hello."

What a dear and lovely girl. Violetta thought as she rose to her feet and gave a little curtsey.
"Greetings, Treszka, and welcome." She said, smiling in what she hoped was a both friendly and comforting manner. The girl looked a bit overwhelmed.

Zachaire moved as though he were a coiled spring suddenly released, walking up to Treszka and bowing before gently taking her hand and giving the back of it a gentlemanly kiss.
"I am pleased to see you again, madamoiselle."

"Thank you," she said to Violetta, and then blushed at Zachaire's greeting.
"Pleased to be here...and, ah, to meet your sister!"
Shake it off, Tres, shake it off...
Her stomach was doing flip-flops.

Seeing the sort of greeting her brother gave the girl was a new experience--he'd never been that way with anyone before, save herself, but his way toward Violetta had always been brotherly affection.
This girl, it seemed, had quite an effect on him.
"Well, shall we gather in the dining room?"

There was a moment of silence before Zachaire responded, having been rather focused on Treszka as he was.
"Ah...of course. The cook is laying out something that I hope you'll enjoy."

Blushing furiously, and trying not to, Treszka followed Violetta as she led the way. Zachaire keep pace with her, and Treszka found herself at a loss for words.

"I was hoping you'd come," he said, after an awkward pause.

Knowing she was the proverbial fifth wheel in this situation, Violetta had quietly left Treszka and Zachaire alone in the dining room, ostensibly to check on the status of dinner.

She really, really hated her blushing right now. In her mind, it made her seem like one of those ridiculous aristocratic girls she'd seen that giggled and hid behind a fan.
"Well, one can hardly ignore an invitation to the de Chagny estate." She said, trying to make it sound like she'd had no reservations.

He saw right through it, though--and considering how plain she'd made it that she didn't think it a good idea before, it wasn't really going to work now, no matter how she tried to brush it off.
Zachaire could be quite persistent when he tried.
"Is that truly why you're here? Simply because of the name it came from?"

Caught, she pretended to think it over, though she was mostly doing the mental equivalent of throwing her hands up in the air in frustration.
"Maybe not. I've heard some interesting things about the residents of this house."
Oh Lord, I can't keep this game up, he can see right through it! I'm not good at this!

A dark cloud passed over his features, but just as quickly as it appeared, it was gone.
"Oh? And what have you heard?" He asked stiffly.
Most of the stories of de Chagny were rather...unflattering.

Damn, she'd said the wrong thing. Again. Time to think fast.
"Mostly that the current Comte is a generous patron of the arts." She said carefully.
"And also, a returner of scarves."

He softened, quietly chastising himself for automatically reacting the way he had. Of course, Treszka wouldn't be gossiping like so many others. She hardly seemed the type for that, and he simply couldn't see her doing so.
He smiled at her scarf comment.
"Well, one could hardly let a lady leave something of hers behind."
