Esme suppressed her surprise at the slight half-curtsy, clearly unused to the higher habits of greeting and conversation, not that such a thing wasn't already evident. Elyse's half-hearted grip told her as much about the tall bat-woman regarding simple direct manners of speaking. Internally, Esme shrugged. She simply had no use for tradition that got in the way of her business. Obviously the ceremony and decoration that these people were accustomed to would take some getting used to.

"Glad to meet you Miss Donovan," Esme said politely, noting the strange shape Elyse made at her hip. Perhaps it was a religious symbol regarding her church, but it didn't particularly matter. She smiled upon hearing that she was not the only one ithat lacked the patience for all of this courtliness and civility, preferring instead to take direct action. The thought piqued Esme's curiosity. She herself had her own business here, but what was this woman's? Maybe she was here out of chance, but from the woman's mannerisms and bearing, Esme doubted it. Her thoughts were rudely interrupted by the appearance of a third figure who was evidently intent on giving a brief lecture to her new associate. "Ah, welcome, I don't believe we've met," Esme introduced herself warmly, turning to face the short rodent.
