One could not deny it, the gentleman had quite the way with words.
Something that could not be said of her previous flirts, which had not been many, not because of an ice queen reputation, but because she preferred to spend the time with her siblings and mother before, let's say "other things".
But now? She does have to control her expressions, but Irma is listening at him rather enraptured. A girl likes being praised, yes, but what she does actually like is the ingenious way he does it.
That may be why she waits for him to finish his comparisons to correct him.
"And yet you exaggerate beautifully."
That's not what she wanted to say the first time, but when the shoe fits...
"The world does move because it has to. It would be quite the inconvenient thing if it stopped, and it would make me feel terrible if it stopped because of me." not that she feels actually terrible to have stopped him, but anyhow.
Still, there's an amused smile. Not quite the match for his charming smile, but a smile nonetheless.
