Just as called, Frith would arrive. She had not spent much time together with her father and so she hoped this conversation would end well. It was time she learned her parents' history, if they would allow her. She returned the kind greeting with a calm smile. "Hello father."
At that point she was contemplating whether or not to inform him of her dilemma. However, it would be silly and a waste of time for her just to say hello and end the discussion there. She called him here for a reason and she might as well talk it through.
"May I ask for some advice?" She politely inquired, seating herself by his side. She assumed her father had grown up in a similar environment or had experienced the dilemma himself. She didn't want to throw at him her troubles all at once. It was better if she asked for his permission before she found herself carried away with asking questions.
