[ Alkaid glances at how he is behind her ever so slightly. Her head tilts, ears twitching at the idea of it all. How can he escort her from behind by just a few inches? Still, she smiles at him and her tail sways and nods for him to do so. Lord Foretemps also smiles and waits until the two have disappeared before moving to find his wife and eldest son in the meantime.

She remains silent until he shows her the room. She steps inside timidly, looking around with a smile forming on her face with her eyes wide in wonder. The room was so large compared to any she had seen before in a home. Within a few steps she was at the bed and gently pressing down with both hands, one covered in bandages. ]

...are the rooms all this big?

[ How indeed... It might appear silly, but as a servant, he believes he should not walk beside her as an equal would, but slightly behind her. He can still give direction should she be uncertain where to go. It is not a long walk at all, nor does the path there take too many turns or changes in direction. Perhaps he has grown too used to following along behind his master.

But before too long, they arrive at what is now her room, and he is quick to hold the door open for her. Once they are inside and she takes her first look around, he very nearly grins at the sight of her reaction. But he must act as a servant would, behaving properly and with what those older than him call decorum. ]

A lot of them are, yes. The master and the mistress have the largest, and their sons' rooms are also large.

[ There isn't any point in mentioning the servants' quarters, as she did not ask that, and why would she? Even so, their living arrangements are just fine, and as Aymeric has been reminded, could be much worse. ]
