Mahler said they were blessed to have her there- she did not have a bone in her body that willed her to accept such a compliment. She appreciated it, of course, but remained silent- her humility held her rigid, and she bowed her head slightly, as if momentarily she could not meet his gaze. 

His talk of their territory was a welcome change, and she visibly perked up at the notion of a garden. I think that would be lovely. Perhaps the children would enjoy it... and learn something too. She decided with a little nod of her head. With the mind on gardens and flora, and herbs as well, she turned a curious eye to Mahler. Do you think either of your children will be interested in that sort of thing? Erm- nature, medicines? In her experience, assessing a child's interests was not that difficult- even from an early age their future trades were often represented in their habits and play. Star had always been one for playfights, and hunting rolly pollies within the den- while her sister had studied jewels and stones, the stars and sky.
