Jessamine hadn't intended to be so obvious about her motivation to ask him this particular question, but perhaps with more experience as her first Season carried on, she would learn how to be a bit more subtle. Nevertheless, Mr. Knight didn't seem bothered by it at all, as no doubt, in Minnie's mind, he probably was used to talking to new debutantes, and he told her of two more places where his family had properties. Both equally as exciting, she thought - she wondered if, since he'd been to the States, if he'd gone to the World Fair that they learned about in Muggle Studies. “Oh? You must be very busy,” it did pique her interest that he was gaining control of the properties; that told her he was likely a first son, someone set to inherit.“But, it's lovely of you to make time to come to our debut,” Minnie praised, indicating to not only herself, but the rest of her young peers; after all, she didn't want to seem entirely selfish, “I suppose I shall see you again, then.” She really did hope that he came to another ball, as she already liked Mr. Knight quite a bit and he seemed worth a yet another chance.

Despite their natural chemistry, and the way that Jessamine seemed comfortable enough chatting with him that she didn't even have to think of her next dance step before her body was already doing it on its own, there was such thing as propriety and Minnie would not have scandal written over her name. Especially not during her first Season! And so, she took a step back, breaking their closeness; she did it as subtly and as gracefully as she could, as to not offend the gentleman by suggesting he would dishonor her in such a way, but she could not risk anything. She gave him a polite smile, the dance getting closer ending, and spoke, “Thank you for dancing with me, Mr. Knight. I enjoyed myself.”
