[ She had seen plenty of lineages both literally and proverbially so she feels like she can say that with some level of confidence even without knowing his former master.
As she's spun around a pleased expression flickers to her face for a moment before joining their hands together again. Hilda knows that what they're talking about has to be inherently true to some degree (she still really isn't sure about how serious he is about being an assassin), so the teasing has more to do with her trying to lighten the mood than make fun of him.
(But there was plenty of time to do that later.) ]
So there is a heart underneath all of that grump. It's weird seeing you be so serious about something like this. Not to say you aren't serious about other things but that usually has more gruff mixed in, you know? [ Amidst the teasing she gives him a sincere smile. ] I can tell you care a lot about them.
