She frowns in response to his smile, glancing away from him. Well, at least he's amused by his ability to scare a woman who's become remarkably twitchy since Emprise du Lion. Someone might as well get something positive out of it. She doesn't speak for a few moments, but she knows that she can't pout every time someone startles her. So she shrugs, and turns back to the lute.
"Sister Leliana." Attention mostly on the lute now, she focuses on trying to rehearse the notes that she'd spun together for the song. "She's been teaching me how to become a bard. It's been interesting." She says it casually, like it's no big deal that a spymaster is training her to become an entertainer that doubles as an assassin and spy. Hopefully, mostly spying. "Which is why I want to be ready for the soiree. That's the kind of thing that bards attend. I'll be practicing more than just my lute. I'll be practicing all that--the social stuff. Speaking with Orlesian nobles." She was more worried about the music. Orlesian nobles? She could handle them just fine, they were even easier to sweet talk than most of the people she spoke to.
