"Inès. I saw you first, pulling your baggage with you along the path," she declared with certainty, swinging her legs in over the window ledge with a child's confidence.

"Oh, well...yes. I didn't have a horse or carriage."
Well, didn't have money for one, but she didn't really feel the need to discuss her finances all that often, and not to someone she just met.
"But, I made it, I'll do my best while I'm here."

"You aren't going to marry Uncle, like Jane Eyre, are you?"
The child didn't curtsy, or once let her interrogatory gaze stray from Linde's face.

Linde blanched, then turned a lovely shade of red at the question. It wasn't just the fact that she'd even been asked such a thing, but that part of her brain had immediately pointed out how handsome he was.
"O-of course not!" She spluttered.
"I'm just a Governess."
The redness in her cheeks, and the embarrassment, was already fading.

"Good," the girl sniffed, and then affected a more appropriately-childlike curtsy.
"Clelia is resting her eyes. Don't disturb her."

Her composure back (mostly), Linde nodded.
"Of course. Let me put my things away, and I'll come back here, all right?"

The girl made no comment and slunk back to her place by the window listlessly.

Giving Ines what she hoped was a friendly smile, Linde quickly ran to one of the unoccupied rooms, hesitating a moment as she tried to think of which one was supposed to be hers. Gogny had not said anything about where she was supposed to stay, and Linde was at a loss. Finally making up her mind, she chose a room and set her things to rights, unpacking and putting away what few possessions she had.
Done, she came back out, looking to see if Ines was still there.

The girl was still on tiptoe at the casement, staring out flatly with dark eyes.
"Have you gotten a good look at the grounds yet?"

"Not yet. I only just arrived." She said. "But it looks intriguing. "
