[ the tablet is sat in Elizabeth's lap, she hasn't worked out really how it works beyond hitting buttons until something seemed to happen. Which she's frowning so at it then far too pleased with herself when it seems to do what she wants it to. ]

How on earth do they make the little images move -- ? [ but it is no real, matter. She's learning to just accept the fact she doesn't understand how half this stuff works ] I've a few questions that I cannot ascertain simply from watching if I may be so bold... [ she licks her lips briefly before continuing. ] ... where does one find material to make clothes from? As I've yet to make sense of the items I find here made already, but the clothes I arrived in are... not fitting for most daily activities. [ It had only one layer of clothing and... no. No that seems wrong and strange and not at all decent. ]

As well as... [ she lent her head on her hand as she hummed. Making requests is strange, there ought to be people swarming about her, accompanying her wherever she went but now there isn't and its so odd to ask. ] Would I be able to request someone to take a walk about the city with me? Someone who is familiar with the times, so to speak, as I find myself unable to make sense of very much of it. England was a very different place to me, and I cannot make heads nor tails of her now. I do not ever recall her raining so much. [ and she smiles very briefly. ]

My thanks for your time.

[ ooc: my mistake, this should read as coming from Victoria Guildford. forgot to add it in, all my apologies for the confusion. ]

Her smile was an easy one as she caught his far rougher hand in her own. "Quite fine." Then she pressed the pearls she'd pulled into his hand. She's gentle, and if there were a way to tell she was a noble, it was from her un-calloused hands. No hard work had touched them enough to leave them rough. Hands washed in rose water and dried by another.

"I've still the money that they gave me as my stipend. It is the least I could do for your kindness to me."

"I'd be honored then. I just figure you're a planetary governor or major nobility or a politician and I know what those guys do takes a lot more resources than just rabble rousin' or fightin'. Honestly think the lack of diplomats may be our biggest downfall since ya can't deal with every scrape with more violence or you get the locals runnin' you out on rails like they have."

He smiles and peers at the pearls before tucking them into his vest pocket.

"Now then, On ta finding you your fineries." He grinned and nodded.

She looked surprised all over again. She expected something far crueler to be said of someone of her position, even if he had no idea how close to the truth he was. "I have some skills of that kind, it is what Her Majesty prizes me for." She smiled, because it felt like a compliment that she could accept easily.

"Onwards then." But even as she began walking, she kept pace with him, happier to keep it far less formal that she would be with her own guards. All the same when they got closer to shops, she'd look about, eying up certain things and being unimpressed by others.
