             “I hope you do not mind my asking,” she begins, only realizing how silly it is now. She is...over him, in all technicality. It is still strange, the way the world has changed. But she does not wish it so that she is put on any higher plane than anyone else. Though only a fraction, it is a part of where the previous Shepherd had gone wrong. “Have you named him? ...The malakhim that accompanied you, I mean.”

    "Ah Virion I was just looking for you," with something very specific in mind. Loath was he to even ask yet he'd been advised to do so, but he found the words hard to speak. Mostly in part to how ridiculous it was or rather how silly it seemed to him. "I've been informed you're quite the talented dancer according to Olivia, she advised that I should...ask you for some instruction on the matter."

    Stone wall left partially collapsed, having misjudged the distance between himself and said wall. Unintentional was the act of violence against the Shepherds HQ enclosure, hoping his disruptive midnight practicing didn't wake anyone still up at this hour. However, footsteps indicated such wasn't the case as he was approached.

    "N-no cause for alarm, we're not under attack," a giant hole in the wall might lead to that exaggerated presumption.

      And for a moment she’s rendered speechless, with the parchment torn in two once taken from her hands though her preceding expression had retained its ever-so conventional seriousness when she spoke. And she’d been…calmer than one might normally be (for a daughter, perhaps?), seeing such an image though in truth partially questioning his choice of such a design for a recruitment poster she’d chosen to say nothing of it. Only trust what her father had in mind after all, yes? Though it seemed not to be the case, as she now discovers. “I had thought it strange, at first… But I supposed it wasn’t impossible? For you to put up those posters on your own, I mean.”  Yet seeing her father’s expression regarding the matter next to these words… It was enough to draw a chuckle from her lips.

      “Honestly, if you thought the image was best to draw in new recruits then I should know better than to question you, Father.” Which may have been a jest, as seen through the continued bit of laughter that escapes her lips that was difficult to hold back at this point.

    He wasn't quite sure what to make of her comment. Glad that she realised it was such an odd thing for him to do, yet puzzled that she thought the possibility still remained. What sort of father had he been exactly? Still, even he saw the humorous side to all of this, if others could find laughter at his expense then perhaps there was a silver lining to this whole fiasco, especially when that laughter came from his daughter.

    "I'd trust you'd knock some sense into me if I ever did start recruiting using such methods" besides he'd rather her question his actions than simply follow his lead all the time. She was a bright young girl who could offer much, he'd not want it to go to waste on his behalf. However, he noted the hint of jest in her tone. Despite her usually serious demeanour she didn't hesitate to throw a jape or two his way and he was glad for it. "So if I suggested to Frederick we'd adopt a similar plan but use your royal image instead you wouldn't question me?" Continuing the banter she'd started, two could play at this game. Evidently they didn't just share such physical likeness but a few other personality traits as well.
