[He thinks he recognises this young woman who speaks so openly of his brother - barely, but she's certainly the type to leave an imprint. News bulletins, recordings, and then it clicks: the wedding, where she'd stood at Lloyd's side, and consoled Nina when she knelt weeping.
That doesn't tell him too much about how much she remembers - but he decides to greet her with such knowledge, regardless. His smile is soft, gracious.]
It seems our number here is growing - Miss Ashford, correct?
[STOP. Handsome man speaking? Oh boy~ She almost gets herself ready for some heavy-duty flirtation and teasing, but as soon as she sees who it is, and the fact he knows her name, she nearly drops the Dreamberry in surprise, and stops all attempts to win him over. At least, for now.]
Your Highness! [WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE PRINCE.] Yes, I am Lady Ashford. [Lady? ugh. She'll just think about him as Lulu's brother for her not to sound so dumb.] I'm very surprised to see you here, though! Have you been alright?
The pleasure is all mine! [SO CHARMING. She giggles, and totally forgets to curtsy back, but relaxes a little.]
I wouldn't call them unfortunate... I left a much worse place than here. [a shrug] I'm getting used to it here, though settling in will come when I find a place to stay, Your Highness. Still, this isn't horrible, and I'm sure I'll be happy here~
Ah - an admirably adaptable approach! [His voice is nothing but earnest.] It warms my heart to see our people face uncertainty with such resilient optimism, my lady. I am sure I can say already that we are lucky to have you among us.
[For important business, like harassing Suzaku :))]
[The charm is killing her~ She laughs, trying not to blush.] You're too kind. I'm scared too, though. I didn't think a little bit of head trauma would make me end up here... But I'm glad you're willing to have me. If you won't, who will?
[she giggles again, trying to keep up with the prince and not look like a fool.]
[Always a prince~ And Lelouch is related to this? Astounding. The charm must've come from their father. The bit of assery had to come from Marianne.]
You really are too kind, Your Grace. This is just a normal day in a different world~ It's really no different than traveling!
[BUT ENOUGH ABOUT HER for once in her life. She smiles, genuinely, also a rarity.] How many of your siblings have arrived here? I know Lelouch and Nunnally have, but is there anyone else?
[He chuckles, but the latter subject is a serious one and so his expression changes to reflect such - this, after all, might be a little more difficult to adjust to.]
Aside from myself, Lelouch, and Nunnally, two of my siblings have found their way here... strange as it may be, Princess Euphemia and Prince Clovis are also present.

I cannot complain, my lady Ashford. It is a pleasure to see you again, though circumstances may be unfortunate. I hope that you are settling in well?
