Isla
"Well, unless you count on my brilliant mind being conveniently nearby when those serious occasions crop up, you might find yourself having to rely upon this infirmary at least some of the time." The wit and teasing is easy when it's accompanied by music, especially when exchanged with as good a dancer as her current partner, and Isla ducks beneath one of his arms and turns, spinning around him until she can rejoin him on his other side.
Pointedly not glancing at the crowd - you can take the girl out of the duchess and all that - Isla can't help but scoff at his rather blunt way of putting it. "She absolutely does," she agrees. "But then, even if she knows we haven't, I think she'd still like to believe it. Between us, I think she would like to be the one indulging in you."
