*Isobel seems to have some sort of built-in sensor for the presence of children, and so immediately upon entering she spots Pearl. She won't speak immediately, but will kneel on the floor, careful not to muss her skirts, and peer at the picture.

*Clytemnestra happens to be passing through the main room, and - look! A little girl! With a slightly sad smile she kneels down next to her* What are you drawing?

[the_elfchild]
