Dany would hear many things from these ladies, many of which are complaints about housekeepers, their children, not leaving France / Paris earlier, comments that their own staff are acting 'oddly' recently as well. Odd like Dany, they say, so much smarter than their usual staff. Many, it turns out, have had recent turnovers of staff, gotten new help, and they all seem to be from outside Paris. How strange!
They agree that the locksmith is acting strangely, he used to be so 'polite' (servile) and now he is very 'rude' (independent) and gruff. He also comes at strange hours, and they're not always sure the King has asked him there, though of course that is always his excuse. But it isn't as though, they say, he could be sneaking past security, they have the best security in paris! So clearly it is just more oddity to do with the general strangeness of Paris in revolt, they are sure.
While cleaning, Dany would find signs of burnt letters, singed envelopes around the fireplace. Someone has been receiving correspondence and then destroying it immediately afterward.
If she really searches, she will find a very strange object at the back of one of the queen's dresser drawers, as though hidden. When Dany touches it, it changes colors, amber and lavender. After putting it down, Dany will notice a small pinprick of blood on one of her fingers.
This is clearly an object not of this time.
Marie will become so distracted by Dany's 'secret' that she will excitedly try to plan out their courtship, and offer to help provide a suitable dowry (for of course they plan to be married!) and ask how they met, and have their parents been informed.
If pushed, she will say she does not have to play fair! She is queen, of course.
But afterward, one of the other queen's servants will whisper to Dany that she should be careful, for the queen's temper can change, even for favorites. She will also say the gossip Dany is hunting isn't even very interesting, it's just something to do with the stupid games of the rich, hidden boxes and secret keys, you know, all that nonsense.
