"No,"
And there it was;
the weak parting of lips as the sound of envinyatar cleaved through the quiet shroud that had billowed within her very mind since he had ushered her from him. She must be dignified— must not let him know the cinching of her heart, nor the quiver within the moon-jaw—
and yet, the unquailing thing within her is sure that he would know. For all that had happened, had yet to, still she began to thaw; to awaken in the presence of him before her mind could wing to the workings of her figure; would that she felt all the elegance that the General had believed her to behold! 
so very faint, so very faraway; so longing in that such stiltedness would melt from his own; so yearning to see what the forger's truthful feelings lie therein crucible, however myriad. Instead:

"Not even for a promenade?"
and her soul threatens to shiver through the well-meant words; some fickle faux-fussing. So hastily does she squander such away, before canting the red-limned brow in some breath-held invitation. To move forth from necks that would crane and eyes that might spy.
