[ . . . . that is forward. It's very forward and yet Natalia supposes she should've been anticipating more questions like those tonight, considering the fact that she was very much putting her face out there in relation to this ball. So she seems surprised for a fraction of a second, since she's really not very good at lying at all, and then she laughs faintly even as she puts her other hand onto his shoulder.]

I don't mind.... but I suppose you can say that I merely spend a great deal of my time with those of the upper-class. It's something that I was simply born into, though I don't quite like to flaunt it.

[It's about as close to a deceit as Natalia will get, though also unbearably truthful. She doesn't like to flaunt her status so even when asked, she isn't quick to disclose her position as a princess. Perhaps another time once she learns to trust this young man.

But all the same, the nod and his answer make her smile far brighter, much more enthused to hear about his experience.]

I'll bear your inexperience in mind but something tells me that you'll be able to do just fine, sir.
