"I know that," she replied, though it was unclear if she really actually understood it or not. "I just.. I don't... know," the girl repeated, her tones getting more confused and frustrated. She didn't understand why Luke was being so insistent about this - didn't other families do the same thing? Surely hers wasn't the only family to behave in such a way? "Other families do it too - they must," the young noble started, taking hold of a different way to try to discuss it. "If they didn't, there wouldn't be betrothals or anything like that. Sometimes those happen with even less discussion - or none - than the discussions I have with my parents." Surely that would hit home, because others in their class were betrothed often. It was a common practice, and that was a decision that parents made for their sons or daughters - it was the same thing, in her mind, or at least very similar. Another thought struck her, another thought she could latch onto that she felt validated her argument, "Isn't assuming control of a House similar too?"

These concepts were all so strange and foreign to her, confusing her and making her head hurt the longer she tried to puzzle them out. She had been raised with the expectation of taking control of their house and its political affairs until her brother was born, and then she was raised with the expectation of being married off into another house and offering the future lord whatever aid she could in their house's political endeavors. Her parents had always expected so many things from her - expected her to assume control, expected her to become the perfect lady of a house, to learn as much as she possibly could, to be a proper young lady, to follow their orders and go along with their wishes, to do as they said and marry who they chose for her, and so many other things she couldn't even think of. Her head hurt too much from thinking of this to try and think of more examples.
"I think," she started slowly, lowering her hands to her lap with a slow exhale to try and release all the built-up stress, confusion and frustration from the conversation, "that I want to research some things when I go home."
