"Thank you." Though she truly didn't understand why she had to ask and make it known that she wished for him to not embarrass her in front of the rest of the nobility. Was it so foreign a notion for someone who had been raised by the same family that Elgar had? It would be like... no, Cat didn't like that thought. Comparing herself to Eilidh gave too many chances to feel as though perhaps Karanteg didn't deserve to be judged by the shadow Elgar had cast. She did not want to feel anything approaching empathy for the man. She wanted him to behave as a lord should in front of the rest of what may as way be the world and not humiliate her and his own family name. Iona bore that now, and hopefully there would be a son to do the same.
Cat nodded, truly a little surprised that he said of course. She had been expecting him to say that he was sure there was someone more suited for that, or someone who had more time. "I will tell him you said so. I am sure that he will appreciate it; his father was a fighter and I think he wishes to be more like him." Watchers only know why. I wish he would take after someone else. While she could affect a smile and even affection for Karanteg, she had trouble masking her distaste for the late Lord Grimm. At least we are not speaking of his whoring. How many conversations had they had where she let that go so easily? And yes, Cat thought she had just let that go easily.
