There is a large marbled floor with ornate inlay-ed floor decorations.  The ceiling is tall and also ornately decorated with beautiful plaster decorations that touches by gold lining.  The space is high and well lit with many windows but has a dark musky smell.

I am a dancer in the Queen's Masquerade. I hide my identity with a clever disguise. I don't correct people when they think they are whispering secrets to someone else. I like to know things that others don't. I dislike spiders.
Very well. Have you been practicing since our last session? Some. It is hard to find the time between lessons and etiquette class.  I see. Is it truly your wish to learn to dance? It...is more of a fantasy I suppose. I imagine being the most graceful at the Autumnal Ball sometimes. But I am always humbled at my own ability to trip down the stairs. If you desire to become a world-class dancer, you must invest the time to practice. I understand, but how am I to invest time I do not possess? Being kept to a strict schedule by my father has limited me. What else do you do besides dance, lessons, and etiquette? I tend to the roses out in the garden. And am required to go along on diplomatic trips to the neighboring castles. Father says it is a sign of good faith. Can you integrate dance practice into any of those activities? For instance, can you prone roses while practicing your plie? I had not considered the option before! It is creative thinking like that that sets apart the master dancers from the mediocre. I do hope I won't lose my balance and fall into the rose bushes. That would be rather unsightly...
