Like Hardtman, Isidor inclines her head in polite acknowledgement of his decision. It's a fair one and she's not about to argue. The more time she has before they visit the more time she has to figure out how she might make them feel more comfortable in a place like her home. As if to emphasise this impending clash of culture, Robin pipes up and Isidor smiles kindly at her. No she's not going to say anything in return lest she appear to be bragging.
Besides, there's food being passed around and both Durants fall into a quiet murmuring of 'please's and 'thank you's. The mention of a prayer gets a curious look from Viatorus that turns equally puzzled by Lawrence's expression while Isidor nods at Odilia in acceptance and approval. Both of them find themselves a little stunned by the next request. Viatorus hesitates. They didn't ask Harrowheart about this. They should have. They should now. He looks to his sister to suggest that they make a quick phonecall to make sure it's all right.
"Yes, of course you could," she says before he can interrupt. There's a sharpness in her eyes that's not quite hidden by her mannerly demeanour. It only takes a side glance for her to notice Viatorus' surprise and disapproval, so she focuses on Odilia again and adds, "You must feel comfortable in your own home."
