We're going to suppose that a very good looking young man, reading sedately on a windowsill, focused in all appearances on a heavy mythological volume might count as entertainment... considering who he is.
Oooh, he does look entertaining. She smiles, just a little, tucks her blue black hair behind her ears, and leans slightly in his direction. "Excuse me?"
Isn't he fine. Subtly admiring. He would make a nice pet, and she can tell that he's a fighter as well. Interesting. She gives him the smallest of almost shy smiles. "I hope I am not disturbing your reading so much, though I am curious what tome holds your attention so..."
We thought we'd send a redhead. This one, however, is (almost) harmless, and currently drinking tea. She'll nod politely to the lady before she returns to her writing.
Here's someone with something furry... Husdent II isn't particularly threatening at the moment, though his training has been starting to yield results. The knight (though he still looks more like a scout than a knight, with his longbow, his leather jerkin and the blade at his side) wanders in with his dog at his side and pauses a moment. This woman looks familiar - though he's not sure this is who he thinks she is.
He's a bit pale, though. He still thinks that her death was ill done.
Ah, but she remembers you, Tristan, and remembers that you offered mercy. And that makes you a very interesting person for her. She draws herself up, not quite disdainful but definitely fully self-possessed, full of complete dignity.
Pardi, it's her. He takes a breath. Dead people talking to you, when you've seen them die and been unable to help them, no matter how terrible they were...
Innocent sweet girl here, sitting by a brand new (yay!plothole!) trestle, and sowing with absent dedication. She's humming a quiet French song that may or may not sound D'Angeline, and is fairly absorbed in her work.
"It is a skill one does not often see anymore, I find. Many are too lazy to pick it up. I myself simply have no gift for it." A rueful laugh, meant to put Angelique at ease.

"Excuse me, may I sit down?" With the utmost politeness, easily adapted to suit the person she is trying to manipulate. Or at least sound out.

"Sir," coolly, expression utterly neutral. Intentionally neutral.

"Lady."

Melisande sits down in a rustle of skirts. "You are very quick with that needle," she murmurs.
