Door shut so as not to disturb her guests, she at last turned her attention to the man standing before her, looking somewhat anxious.
"How did you...who..."

He spoke at nearly the same moment she did.
"Please forgive my rudeness for simply turning up on your doorstep--"

So many thoughts were colliding in her head that she didn't know what to say first.
"How did you find me?"

"I asked others among the nobility about where one would find the Wittelsbachs." He said, looking sheepish.
Beneath the sheepishness was caution. They'd told him about more than just where the cottage was.

Treszka's heart was beating so hard she was surprised that Zachaire couldn't hear it. If he talked to the other nobles, all of whom were notorious for their love of gossip...
"Is...is that all they said?"

Seeing all the color drain from her face, he moved as though to embrace, but stopped short. What if this was the moment were everything ended? It would be a terrible tease to try, wouldn't it? He couldn't believe, though, that this would be an obstacle. How could it?
"They said that your brother was the Emperor of Austria-Hungary." He said quietly.

"Oh my god..."
She took a deep breath.
"I guess that means you have questions, then."

"Only one that is truly important--will you still see me?"

She blinked.
"I...yes. I thought...?"

"That I'd be upset? Hardly. You have your reasons for keeping it to yourself. I imagine that if any of Parisian society had known, they would've made things difficult for you."

She felt both relieved and utterly idiotic at the same time, and unbidden tears came to her eyes.
"Oh, god! I thought--I don't know--that you might think I was doing what all those other society girls did around you."

Oh, yes. The score of eligible ladies that had non-to-subtly hinted that he was eligible, all thanks to his name being de Chagny and him proving to be above the transgressions of other possessors of that name. He could feel his skin wanting to redden in embarrassment at it.
"Ah, never mind them," he said, waving it off. "You are vastly different than they, I knew that from the moment I first saw you."

She couldn't think of what else to say, so instead, she threw her arms around him.

Zachaire was caught by surprise, but only momentarily. Wanting to hold her in his arms was something that had been tormenting her for a while now. He didn't even hesitate to return the gesture.

Unable to stop herself, she started giggling.
"Aren't we a pair? Flying around without really knowing what we're doing."
