"I've met Rhy," Lenore confirms, and nods. He left a good impression on her, and she feels confident about asking him for help. "Let's ask him, and I'll do some additional research in the meantime. I want to see if I can talk to any of the court mages about these theories. They might have some important context that I've completely missed by just skimming through the books."
It's her instinct to want to offer him some comfort or reassurance, but she doesn't know him well enough and he doesn't have enough reason to be comfortable around her, so she guesses it probably wouldn't go well. Better to just pretend she doesn't notice.
She turns to go, but then thinks of something she can do which might help and which will make her feel better anyway. Glancing back with a smile, she shrugs a little, demeanor slightly shy. "Thank you, by the way. For taking me seriously. It's nice to feel useful."
Not expecting any confirmation or reassurance, she turns again to head off to her tasks, though her ears remain pricked if he does call out anything in response.
