Remember your manners Percival. [ Natalia is still smiling, but the words come out forced and bordering a grumble. She all but ignores Velvet's remarks before turning her attention back to their guest. ]
How wonderful! I've always said Eleanor could do with more female friends her age.
[ She places a hand on Velvet's clearly oblivious of Velvet's discomfort ]
I can't imagine why she's hid you from us for so long, but a friend of Eleanor's is always welcome in our home-- don't mind Percival he's always just a bit surly around this time of day.
A few on their own would probably be fine for her, but it was a whole pack. Even I've been cornered before.
[If Eleanor could hear her defending her right now... Velvet doesn't have time to think about that because Natalia's hand is on her??? She prickles at the touch, funnily enough.]
