Her cheeks were crimson by now as she stared helplessly at Bridget stumbling over her own words as well, her tongue tied from the force of her awkwardness. Clearly she was trying to help Tiffany by trying to explain away whatever unfortunate social faux-pas she'd just committed in front of all these people, but was too astounded by her sheer ineptitude to even explain it. Or maybe she was attempting to make her feel somewhat better about committing said faux-pas? She really had no idea. "It- it's fine, really, I swear-" she stumbled over her words just as badly, and promptly decided that maybe she should just give up and wait for a new line of conversation.
Normally she would perfectly fine with being Bad At Talking like this. When she was growing up, people would occasionally just walk away from her mid-sentence, too annoyed with her inability to at least pretend she was capable of holding a conversation. Right now though? It was kind of important that she be able to speak to people, especially people who were nobles, potential royalty, and Kings.
Though admittedly the Royal Librarian was especially important in this scenario. Tiffany was fairly certain that if she didn't have access to books while she was here, she would tragically wither away like a plant cruelly being withheld water. Not that she thought Bridget was being cruel-
Okay focus on the conversation.
"I heard about him tearing up the gardens, actually!" She grabbed for the proper foothold in the conversation, desperate to try and claw back some semblance of being a Capable Person. The fact that she had said 'help' like there was maybe a second meaning to it was. Slightly concerning, but not enough for Tiffany to risk overreaching in an effort to get an explanation. "Well, it was more mentioned in passing, since everyone was way more concerned about a dragon becoming King in the first place, but I did hear about the gardens once or twice." Yes. This was better. Gardens and design were easy. "Are they really as lovely as everyone says?" She asked, bringing a hand up to her mouth thoughtfully. A good sense of aesthetics wasn't really something she associated with dragons, but she would be the first to admit she didn't know much about them.
"I probably will go look at them after this if I don't get turned into a toothpick." She joked, offering her a small smile in an effort to try and share in the humor. "I'm hoping my ideas are adaptable enough to work with whatever he wants done, but if not..." she paused, thinking for a moment before giggling. "I think I'm small enough that it wouldn't even be worth the effort to eat me!"
