Klaus is quiet as he looks at the woman, who is humming to herself and ghosting her fingers over the edges of the cards that are already laid out. Her clothing looks... Edwardian, maybe? Victorian? Old fashioned with a square neckline that shows off a necklace that's...

Oh.

Not a necklace at all, but a length of golden cord that's wrapped around her neck, digging into her skin. The more he looks at her the more he realizes the markers are all there- a torn sleeve, hair slipping from the Gibson girl style, and one shoe missing when she adjusts her ankles.

"A woman." Klaus gulps, then slowly raises a hand to approach her.
"H-Hey there, um. What's your name?"

The young woman starts, as if she herself was not expecting the company, and purses her lips to give him a serious consideration.
"Mary."
"Nice to meet you, Mary. I'm Klaus."
"Charmed..." She doesn't seem particularly thrilled, giving him a cursory glance, judging his fashion choices.
