She hasn't expected to receive an invitation from the famed Madame de Fer; Emmeline had heard of her involvement with the Inquisition in hushed whispers one night while she was in the Tavern eavesdropping.

Few times she's seen her, Emmie's been struck with awe. She doesn't scare her, of course, Vivienne reminding her much of her mother and her ways, but it was like she was almost envious of her.
