[Leslie brightens for a moment, but it turns into a puzzled frown. At first glance, it seemed like praise, but even if she's used to much less subtle insults, she knows an insult when she hears one. It doesn't seem to be directed at her, but....]
[She gets distracted from this line of thought as Hubert continues. The player is terrified by the notion but Leslie actually brightens again. Sure, she recognizes that it is at least partially a warning. Sure, she does secretly wish she "could" be spoiled like a child by her new family and act like she really was their daughter. (Her new family very openly wants to do exactly that at every opportunity, but she thinks they're just being kind.) But she is still happy to have someone who seems as serious as this man does recognize her as an individual who is worth having expectations of.]
[She wiggles slightly as though she's trying to stand up straighter, but really nothing happens because she's already standing with her back about as straight as it can go.]
Thank you. I will try my best to live up to those expectations, though --
