The man seemed confused by her name, and she gave him a soft smile as he gave her the English definition of a river. Rivers were all the same everywhere, but she thought it was funny that he was so perplexed by her name. "I think my parents just wanted something that stood out a little bit. My middle name, is Solae, so .. much more of my heritage than River, but I've never minded it. I think a good strong flowing of water makes for a strong name that will carry me through my life. My mother believed that a strong name would carry you through life with strength, and she wanted something that was strong on it's own." she gave a shrug, there was nothing more to say about it. She didn't mind the name, though she remembered that many people thought it was an odd one to be named after something so simple.
"Also, you won't easily offend me personally. That is just not who I am so don't fear, if you step over the bounds I will inform you." she said warmly as she looked at the both of them, but River was nothing but warmth and a breath of fresh air. She was warm and happy and she exuded the confidence that came from her station and rank. He mentioned sending her some moon wine home with her, and she could give a bottle to her boss, she chuckled. "I bet he would like that, thank you for the offer, I will gracefully accept." she said warmly as they continued to talk.
Her little idiom was lost on the man, and River had forgotten for a moment that he would not know all the figures of speech and things that came with that. His daughter came in, and clarified without her having to, and River nodded that the girl was right. It was only that she would answer whatever she could if she could without making a big deal out of it. She had little to hide. Finally, the girl asked her the first question and River smiled.
"Dark hair is more prevalent, but there are those with red hair, blond hair, even hair similar to your color, and of course various shades of all those colors. Eyes, yes they're all different. I am from the planet Betazed, and my kind have black eyes, so if you ever meet another one of my kind, you'll find all our eyes are the same. However, humans have many different colors and hues of eyes. You have blue, green, black, brown, grey, so many colors and sometimes they change depending on the clothing that they wear. It's quite interesting actually. So does that mean that all the people of Hearn have the light hair and blue eyes?" she asked them curiously.
"Your city here is rather small for the castle that stands in it's center. Why did you chose this city? How long have you been here?" she asked curiously taking mental notes.
