If she's been entered into a competition for Most Dramatic Sigh, then consider that just a warm up.
The comment about being able to cook does catch her attention but she simply notes it for later. She loved knowing friends that were capable cooks in the kitchen because it usually meant a free meal or two for her.
She holds her tongue; it is lucky. But she doesn't know how long she'll be able to dodge it.

Thankfully Holst had turned them all down, none of the suitors balking at the thought of having to best the great Holst Goneril in battle for the chance for those offers to even be considered.
Some of the tension in her shoulders relaxes and she brightens considerably when the topic changes. She'd much rather talk about her new project than what she may or may not do if she ever returned home and survived the war. ]
I thought you'd never ask!
