“ mrs son areum... good afternoon. i am glad you could make it. ”  they are not alone, but the silence in the room is thick, and her soft voice cuts through the atmosphere. ahana does not offer her hand — they have already met. her bow is more of a gracious nod, but the subtle smile rests easily on her lips. she can appreciate the korean duchess’s boldness, finding a loophole in the implicit rules of social etiquette to suggest a conversation like this directly, at a wedding. crafty and upfront in approach — it’s a trait that will cement itself in ahana’s memory in the duchess’s name. “ i hope the rest of your evening was pleasant after we spoke in edinburgh ?  ”   [ @areumson ]​
