He did listen. He knew the words. Her eyes widen when he says the lines to her. She balls up a bunch of her dress in one hand. It was weird. She thought only her chevaliers listened to her, heard her. "I thought you would have ignored it." Her voice is quiet but she doesn't switch to French. She's astounded and she was positive that he would have never paid her song mind.
The girls get her to smile again and let out a cheerful laugh. "Nathan is my chevalier! He was the one who always loved to help make dresses, he helped do my hair and always found places for me to sing for people." What she didn't add was that Nathan wasn't even the favorite but she recalls him more vividly at the moment. Him being so kind as to lay her babies alongside her in her last moments. That made him special. "He's very funny." Dramatic funny which to her was the best kind. He managed to listen to her and keep her amused, a rare accomplishment for anyone.
