Oh, no, please do not be obliged to express any formality. Just Marie is perfect to me.
[ She's a former Queen, though she likes being addressed that way in other venues outside of this one. Her spirit origins gave her the appearance she had in the most glorious years of her life, but nothing can change the fact Marie Antoinette's earthly history is over and what remains of her is the ghost of her former self that was accepted by the Throne of Heroes. Despite her attachment to France, she wants to have more of a friendly relationship with him than one of absolute formality.
The past is past her. What matters now is the present.
Slipping into her seat when he offers it to her, she thanks him with a fond merci. She finds no need to refuse the gesture despite her previous claim. ]
Do not ever think you have wronged me for taking this long. It is rather the other way around; I should have seeked you much earlier, since I got word about you from Austria.
[ France got few opportunities to make a second first impression, at least with mortals. Barring the brief time at one his more infamous Halloween parties, the Parisian hasn't seen his Queen since she passed. Alas. The past is left best for the past.
Right now, he's happy to have a little tête-à-tête with Marie and work on that friendly relationship. Her apology comes with an almost impish smirk. ]
I bet that was a very fond reunion. How are you two getting along?
[ Did Austria ever tell France that he was in a rather amorous event with their little link here? Let's create a scandal and say 'no', though it wouldn't be a scandal, and more of a carrot France could dangle over the poor man's head. ]
I'm a little envious that he's got more time to spend with you. We should have a dinner date sometime soon, if you're free.
We are definitely close friends! Our relationship had developed as such pretty quickly, although I never learned of your existence as actual people until I landed in this world. It just shows that my bond with what was once my home country still runs deep.
[ Settling on her seat, she daintily rests her hands on her lap under the table. ]
Oh, oui, definitely! There are plenty restaurants here, so the choice is vast and varied, unless you already have one place in mind.
[ She's trying not to let her heart burst from the overwhelming emotions talking with France brings her. There's so much she wants to say, but decides to clam up before she goes on a tangent and ends up talking over him. ]
