There she was minding her own business, absorbing it all in. She had lifted the paper from its place on the table and was now preparing to read it, but then a voice broke over her silence... Furrowing her brow, the young lady would turn her head towards the owner of the voice.. Her eyes saw the man seated before her. He was handsome in a proper sort of way. Breathing in a bit, she soon pushes the smile that she was so trained to do across her pink lips. 

"Of course.. Why wouldn't I be?"

She certainly was not about to get into her life story with some chap that asked her if she was in distress... There was a lot of things that she was, distress... Not it. As she looks to him, she folds the paper back in half before folding it again to replace it onto the table that she was gracing. Turning a bit in her chair, she leans against the arm... Even that was just graceful. Her blue eyes peering over to the stranger, she flicks the tip of her tongue across her lips. She did not know if she wanted to be nice because that is what was expected or if she wanted to bite because, well, he had just interrupted her moment of casual peace... Oh what the hell... Why not try nice and see where it takes her... 

Sitting up a bit, she shifts to rest against the other arm, her smile moving to something more charming and disarming. Batting her eyes, she rests her hand beneath her chin, her slender fingers holding it in place.

 

"And you would be?"
