Emilia frowns slightly and takes a sip of the wine, thoughtfully so. She isn't actually the type of person that acts, much more the sort that would fare better in reacting, but Jules, well, she strikes her as a very much acting person - one with initiative. She could be wrong, of course, she isn't usually good with recognizing key points in someone's personality unless she knows them for a while.
"Hmm. I still think you would do good," she isn't trying to leave a compliment or anything like that, no. She just can be very honest and sometimes tactless and not even notice - of course, this isn't the case, because it's a good thing she's saying to Jules, but she can be very blunt and very sincere about things when confronted about certain subjects. "Maybe doing that would make her a little more sympathetic."
She is, however, a little surprised when Jules leans in and her reaction is to lean back a little, more surprised than offended. She doesn't understand what she's saying at first, trying to look down only to realise she can't really see the scar, only feel it, and covers it a bit self-consciously with her hand. Her expression is a little strained and she looks at the cigarette on the ashtray, thumb stroking over the slight lump of the scar.
"Ah, it was one of the... things that happened here. Before you came." She looks a little nervous, a little... displeased. "I was--" There's a sigh and she looks at Jules almost as if she's apologizing for saying something so downright ridiculous. "There were briefly flesh-eating flowers." Yeah. She knows how ridiculous that sounds. "It-- It bit me and if it hadn't been for Tifa..." She trails off and waves her hand dismissively, as if to swat away unwanted thoughts. "It was just a big bite, so... it left a mark."
To be fair, she's only telling this to sort of prove a point - that the Queen really is crazy and has no manners and more often than not, doesn't seem to know what she's doing at all.
