That can happen with some occupations.

[ Inara smiles again, still coy and flirty and amused. ]

I…provide company, conversation and comfort to those who might desire such a thing from me. [ among other things... ]

I am paid well for my services.

I think I much prefer what you call it. Companion encompasses so much of that and more.

[She smiles back, one as genuine as it is a product of training.]

I might have been a Servant of Naamah, if not for an unfortunate slip in the bath, though I was trained. That much we have in common.

[She doesn't gesture to the scar on her lip, it is plain on her face. More notable perhaps is the fact that for the first time, Favrielle gives her lie without the trace of bitterness that usually accompanies it.]

[suoxi]

I've always been rather fond of the term. It...means so much more than just the physical aspect. [ though she enjoys that greatly. ]

Ah, I see. [ though honestly - looks aren't always so important. usually. ] Did you enjoy your training, then? We are trained in many things, besides the obvious - Companions are very well educated women.

As far Servants of Naamah. Each house focuses on different things, though some skills are taught throughout. Not just conversation but flower arranging, song, instruments, and many things more. Bryony's adepts, for instance, are skilled with numbers and often serve as bookkeepers in addition to other things.

[Favrielle tilts her head.]

At Eglantine, they fostered our creativity and natural talents toward such ends, be it as a singer, dancer, tumbler, clothier, or anything else. There are a great many of us well taught in the lore and literature of other cultures as well.

[ she leans forward to warm her hands a bit. it's still chilly, with the darkness. ]

It sounds very similar to how we were instructed. Multitudes of topics, but well versed in those we found most interesting. It would be dull for both parties, I'd think, to converse at length in something that one participant wasn't interested in.

[Favrielle nods with understanding, and in bits and pieces explains to Inara more details of the Night Court as she explains the life and training of Companions.

While the origins of their services are similar in many ways, there are cultural differences that make it all the more fascinating to them both. The organization of houses in Terre d'Ange, the means with which a Companion chooses her patrons, and so forth.

Inara may not truly be D'Angeline, but she may as well be one in spirit for beauty, career, and regard for it.]

It's heartening to hear that such things are handled so well in places outside my home country.
