[ Sebastian nods approvingly, since this fits with what's correct and expected for a lady (so far as he understands it, anyways), but he also can't help but laugh gently too. ]
My goodness... I hope that this does not mean that you have a suitor, Master Sullivan. If I should have to chase off the young gentlemen coming for your hand, it would be a strange change of pace from the young master?
[ Because anyone but Lizzy is sane and runs the other way... ]
[ It really is hard not to laugh. She's so precocious that it really is quite funny! ]
Well, I suppose I cannot disagree. They would be rather hard to find here, I imagine, so practicality may win out. Though do take care! Older men are not so considerate of a lady's virtue. If you ever have a problem with a young man being untoward, do let me know.
A gentleman is not. So you had nothing to worry about from the young master nor any you would have encountered at the time. However...
[ He's definitely teasing her here. He can't help himself, because this is what happens when he doesn't have Ciel to relentlessly bully all the time. ]
Who knows of the men here? With all sorts of different people and worlds, I cannot be so confident in my assessment.
[ Sebastian has to wonder about that, since it doesn't quite sound like the shy, polite woman he met. Let's see just what Sieglinde is misinterpreting— ]
How do you mean, Master Sullivan? That sounds quite untoward...
[Though she speaks about it as something of a badge of honor...]
When we first met after the prison incident and she came into my residence, she became quite embarrassed and apologized several times for her wandering gaze.
[Never mind that... Masamune had been shirtless and bandaged in bed at that time.]

[Her sleeve wave is even more dismissive this time around, tsking softly at the idea of "young gentleman" suitors.]
I see no point in wasting time on men younger than myself.
[... I mean, honestly, they'd be ten. Far too immature and inexperienced in the world.]

I thought you said that men were not as my books had described them....
[WHICH ONE WAS IT, SEBASTIAN.]

[She appears quite thoughtful about this very important matter, please excuse her and the look still on her face....]
And the women have proved equally as salacious...
no subject
[ Sebastian laughs again, and he cants his head lightly. ]
Dare I ask who?
[ because you are NOT ALLOWED TO HANG OUT WITH THEM... Sieglinde you're bad enough on your own, we don't need more bad influences. ]
no subject
[Didn't courtesans usually get referred to as "companions", and "dancers", and "actresses"?
Not that she's judging courtesans, but. This is a particularly salacious one.]
no subject
[ He hasn't met anyone else to call themselves dancers, at least... Sebastian does laugh at Sieglinde's assumption, and he shakes his head. ]
I am not sure if it is code though, Master Sullivan. She does not strike me as the type.
no subject
[His reaction confuses her- but then, the woman herself was quite confusing.]
She appears most unable to speak clearly, but she has been quite lecherous with her gaze and my person in the past.
[She has felt the weight of her leer!!]

[ Sebastian definitely sounds doubtful, but he pauses momentarily before he questions it futher. ]
And, Master Sullivan? I get the impression that there is a bit more to this story.
no subject
[She looked at him as if she had no idea what he was inferring.]
She has been plying me with foods and apologies ever since.
