[ Bryn's learned lots of things about being a good houseguest ever since she started travelling by herself. For example, she's learned that letting people make their own assumptions about her age and even leaning into their confusion often nets her more open doors and kindness than it does when she's fully honest about herself. She lets people blather on to themselves about how terrible it is that a chit of a girl like her – fourteen, fifteen, perhaps? – should be travelling on her own and how they simply have to offer some help, and she just smiles, nods and keeps the truth to herself. No need to cause a fuss over a bit of a misunderstanding.
Which is why it's sort of refreshing that she hasn't had to go through that whole song and dance with her rooming for the time being. She expects it, of course, from a knight carrying the banner of any sort of dragon, but she still appreciates it. So she doesn't push it. She smiles, nods along and promises to be on her very best behaviour – she's been given rules and it would be awful uncouth of her to break them.
And of course, the first thing Bryn does once she's left unsupervised is break them.
She trots upstairs onto the third floor with the breezy confidence of someone who fully believes they have all the right in the world to be making their presence everyone else's problem. She does, at least, have the decency to knock at the first door she sees though instead of just bursting in. Apparently, she has some boundaries. ]
Hello in there, if that's where you are! I'm looking for the lady of the house!
