Isabel looks at Cesare and tries to see if he is pulling her leg for her earlier teasing, or if it is more curiosity on his part. Fair enough on either count; she will let him see how easily the Masquerade is held up whilst others dine around her.
"Please," she coaxes when the boy begins to make polite excuses. He wants to, but it goes against so much that has been bred into him. "We are new here and would like to make acquaintances."
Isabel slips her arm into his and smiles after she speaks. "Come, walk between us. Give those watching something to wag their tongues about."
A shy smile and then a laugh accompanies a nod from the boy. I think I could come to enjoy fishing, she thinks as he begins to point out local areas of interest.
