"Ophelia...she's a housemaid as well?" Inessa will have to remember that name, and perhaps seek her out later. Margret's information is valuable, but it can't hurt to have another perspective. "As I am not at all privy to Orlesian trends, I cannot say for certain. I suppose in a time of widespread famine, when armies are devastating crops, a fuller figure would be seen as an advantage. And I understand; you're rather busy here, and it's less than safe outside."

It might not be any safer inside, either, but Margret has been kind and Inessa would rather not worry her without actual proof.
