Darumem smiled at her little squeak at her reaction to his unexpected appearance. He didn't make it a habit of startling people but seeing a young woman react in such a way, amused him.
He nodded slightly as she introduced herself, his fleshy face making the smile appear much larger than it would on another's face. She was the daughter of a minor Lord Holder, just as he was a Lord of a Minor Hold. A rank equal to any of his own daughters, a shame she was a woman and not a young man. He noticed her hesitation to give more information beyond the minimal to introduce herself. This didn't concern him too much, some ladies felt talking too much about themselves would not be appreciated by men and in many cases they were correct.
"I have been here more often of late than I have in past turns," Darumem responds. He offers his arm. "Will you walk with me, Lady Coralaese? I would appreciate the company for awhile and we can continue our talk as we walk."
"Have you brothers?" He asked a moment later, thinking about his daughters needing proper espousal. He wouldn't make any decisions till he learned more about her and her family's background. He would like his daughters well married and improve his own status because of it.
