"Fred," Renata echoed the name as Ambrose introduced himself.
"Almost twenty," she stammered in response to the question... But why did it have to come out /that/ way? She regretted not lying and adding on a few years for a moment, but then mentally resolved that lying about her age would just betray her later... But the fact that she said "almost twenty" and not just "nineteen" made her want to cringe in embarrassment. It was the sort of thing that would be said by a blushing schoolchild, not a rogue inquisitor. "And, Sir Fred, I'm willing to aid your cause by any means possible." Renata had meant to step out of the shadows and fight when she had given her little speech a few hours ago, but if Albert's scheme actually went through then she would be officially declared "dead" and the heat would be off of her for the time being... and that was too good an opportunity for covert action to pass up.
