( Said with such solemnity, even as a smile threatens to catch her lips. Instead she keeps her expression carefully schooled into one of neutral interest as Miss Ives writes the address. Accepting the bag with a grateful smile, Herian bows her head respectfully. )
Until this evening, then.
( As she straightens up, Herian holds eye contact perhaps just a moment too long, before she makes her way from the shop. The fascination remains, it seems, and for all that she now has a name, so much remains a mystery. Who a person was could hardly be represented by a name, a workplace, and she lingers at the door a moment to cast a look back to Miss Ives before leaving.
Hours later, that evening, when the sky is painted in shadows of purple and pink they fade into the horizon and stars swim in that inky expanse, Herian arrives at the address granted her. Her sword is at her side, still, but she wears fresh robes and has set aside her armour and chain mail. She lingers long moments before knocking, and stepping back a respectful distance from the door, upright and correct - perhaps recognisably military. )
