She was quite easy to lure away from whatever thought or task she was occupied with, and often, especially by Noble and the chance to see him, (anyone who knew her well would know this,) but she didn't think now was the time to elaborate outside of fabricating her excuse.

"Enjoy the race." She said with one last smile, not even daring to chance a glance at Noble, as she moved toward the stairs.
