Shawn was grateful she didn't interrupt him, though he was fairly certain she knew better than to do so. He wouldn't have stopped even if she'd tried. He would have simply continued on, probably while glaring at her for the interruption. He'd never point out how unladylike it was though, she'd surely know that already and that was something for their mother to do and had probably done. Growing up as the only daughter in a house full of men who worked with ships for a living didn't exactly result in a really ladylike sort of environment.
He couldn't help but to chuckle at her own opinions of the uppity sorts they were surrounded by. If anyone could deal with them, it was certainly be her. Wild and unruly she may be deep down, she certainly knew how to put on an act. He'd never been able to do it himself, being much to blunt and brash more often than not. A lifetime spent on a ship would do that to a person. He was often too vulgar in private and quite enjoyed his life that way.
"Caro," he said softly with a sigh knowing exactly where she was going to go with what she thought they needed to do. Another chuckle and a slight shake of his head were added once she did say exactly what he was expecting. He looked at her seriously though. "I'll make you a deal," he said before quickly starting on before she could continue you, "You can have your ball. You have to plan the whole thing though. I'll have nothing to do with it other than you using my name and then showing up in attendance. You'll need to find somewhere to rent though. This townhouse isn't large enough."
