Brows pull together as her nose crinkles. Amelia knows Thea means no offense, that she’s teasing, and she’s not offended. Thea had the same energy as so many of the women in her family had. How easily they could and and turn and spin the attention of the entire room, the way even the most proud of lords turned their gaze when sharp attention was turned to them. No matter how hard Amelia tried, she could never achieve it. She was too much like her father in that regard, still respected, but softer, she also did not hold the same weight as she was not monarch. She did only the best that she could. She does her best to brush the thoughts aside.
“I hope you mean that as a compliment.” she says with a smile her tone is light, teasing even. It was not Thea’s fault, the last thing Amelia wanted was to make her feel bad, even if it was unintentional.
