[Marianne wasn't actually sure if that was going to work--the small, startled noises escapes her a little too easily, and she calms herself a bit by clasping her hands together before going to open the door gently.
She's...definitely not surprised by the cleanliness of it, but how clean it is surprises her. It's as if Hubert barely lives here. In comparison to her own room, it's a haven. Maybe she should ask him for tips on how to be tidy, since that book she keeps losing doesn't seem to be working...
At any rate, Marianne does what she can to straighten.]
Good afternoon, Hubert. Thank you for inviting me in. Is the afternoon going well for you?
[Marianne wants to ease herself into the conversation, and maybe make herself a little less nervous about asking for something that'll definitely cause rumors to swirl, but she's likely all too obvious as she fidgets with her sleeve.
She is giving Hubert eye contact, though. That's something she does a little more easily with him, even with her usual tired, baggy-eyed expression.]
