With a nod Martha tries to follow the line of John's reply and, slightly confused, she decides on simply nodding again, rather than invite additional embarrassments; "Quite so, sir...quite so!"
Seeing Chase and Daymian loitering close by, Martha nods once more to Alice and John, "I see Mr Ankers and Mr McMahon are loitering! Please forgive me, but I cannot neglect my Duty as Mistress Keeper, I should see what they may want or need...I hope I might be excused, please!" she smiles happily and adds with obvious sincerity to John, "Again, welcome to the Domain, sir! Please feel free to visit these Chambers if you wish to speak on any matters!" then, with a respectful nod to the Harpy, she adds;
"Please excuse me, Madam Harpy! I do hope you and I may speak soon about the idea I have for The Ember!" another respectful nod is offered to both.
* If she is allowed to go without complaint, Martha eagerly hobbles, skips and limps her way over to meet Daymian McMahon and Chase Ankers
