After a moment though, she continues, just watching her in consideration if nothing else. Still strange, sometimes, to introduce herself. Didn't have to, once upon a time, and then her name had been banned and treason to speak of. "Lakshmibai - but Lakshmi if that is easier for you." Her expectation about English speakers managing her name at this point is... limited. To say the least.
She watches the flames, again, the dart and jump and life of them. What was needed against this bitter cold that settled so deep into bones.
