( It's still such a strange thing, in its ways β to be reassured by her daughter now, when not so long ago for Rose, Sharon was so small and sensitive, haunted by some inner turmoil that neither she nor Chris were capable of understanding. And now.... Now, Sharon's offering her words of comfort and reassurance. It's yet another testament to the kind of woman that her daughter's become.
Rose smiles tearfully, but the tears are happy ones, not sad. They're full of love. She nods again, quickly, and clears her throat as she tries to collect herself a bit more.
There's something that had stuck out β Sharon telling her that Mayerling knew they were here β but she hadn't questioned it. Now as she hears Sharon call out for the man, she can't help wondering about it, the mystery about him simply building.
And then there he is. Rose has to take a moment to almost process the image of the man standing there: a truly ethereal sight, from his attire to the wings, to his features themselves. She blinks widely, a little stunned as he bows to her so politely and speaks so formally β oh, he really is like something from a fantasy, isn't he? There's very much an inhuman quality to this man, though she's not afraid by it. She's known inhuman beings before, in Trench, andβ her own daughter is, of course, very much not a typical girl.
No, she isn't afraid of anyone so blatantly not human, but his presence is extremely striking and it does surprise her a bit. But she's dipping her head towards him, offering a smile that's soft, but friendly. )
Hello! The pleasure's mine β it's so nice to meet you. Sharon's already told me much about you.
( She sends her smile over to Sharon, before her brows are lifting a bit at mention of tea and treats. Such things weren't so easy to acquire back in Trench. )
Tea would be lovely. It feels like so long since I've had any.
( As she steps further into the space, she's looking around it a bit, unable to hide the soft delight that brightens her features a little, before she has to ask, curious. )
