Her looks of displeasure turned into something more akin to alarm when he reached for her face. A brief widening of the eyes as she pulled back to avoid contact, even though he dropped his hand before she touched her. A strange gesture on his part, out of place and too familiar as if they had known one another long than a half hour at best. She made a thoughtful noise, before sipping lightly at her tea.
She wondered if she had struck a cord by bringing up his mother. Everyone had heard the rumors indeed, and Caiohme had no reason not to believe them. Perhaps it was petty to be susceptible to such idle gossip, but she had little favor for the Vereaux.
The Arden watched the way Providence looked down at his hands as he spoke. Her features softened while he wasn't looking. Admittedly, she had not expected his reasoning to be so deep; a decent mixture of selfish and self-less. If he was telling the truth, of course. Sympathy was an easy card to play. She knew this because she utilized it in the courtroom all the time. As with most Fae, Caiohme couldn't tell if he was outright lying; they were so much harder to read than humans.
"Those are very noble goals," she commends. On the surface, she would add in her head. Her expression was mostly unreadable by this point, but it was not as harsh as it had been through most of their acquaintance.
Caiohme was a challenge on purpose, whereas Providence was a challenge by nature. She was cold, and puzzling to make others work for her respect, or her affection. Otherwise, they were simple playthings. Even she was curious to see where this Vereaux would end up on the spectrum.
She offered him a laugh. A small chirrup of a pleasant sound at his mention of saluting her over drinks. He'd earned that much, if nothing else. Pleasantness in exchange for civil pleasantries. A small smile remained, but she hid it behind her teacup.
She set the cup back in the saucer and patted at her lipstick with a napkin that she pulled from the table. Smoothing the fabric over her lap when she was finished with it, she caught Providence's gaze with her own. "I suppose at some point there is no reason it couldn't be. Thanks to whoever approved that slogan, I spend quite a lot of time in bars."

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
