[laudna can be found a little later at the haunted house, a ballgown-looking dress spread out on one of the beds as she starts to examine it for rips and wrinkles. also, there's a leech still stuck on her neck and arm and she doesn't seem to have noticed.]
Not personal experience, but I've known a few. There is a fellow who has traveled with us for a while. Not a penny to his name, but he always dresses so fancy, and always acts as though he belongs anywhere he wishes to go. That's how I could tell.

no subject
Well, some people are like that. It says more about their character than you.
