Verbally, Yseult receives little more than a "yesser and noser" as she explains, but Mado grants her the rapt attentiveness of a working dog to its master, preparing to spring into motion on command.

As directed, he steps forward and waves to an oncoming cab in perfect mimicry of a well-dressed townsperson whose gesture he witnessed moments previously.

From the curb Yseult watches with apparent disinterest, but once in the carriage--entrance executed in similarly accurate impersonation of the roles they're playing--she straightens her skirts and gives Mado a nod. "You're a talented mimic. Is that something you've done much of in your past career?" As...a musician? A dog? Whichever.

"For playacting," Mado replies with a modest smile, seemingly just pleased she's pleased, "party tricks for coin. But it's easier to learn songs when you remember how they're sung, from all the notes to the words you don't know."
