"Wise?" Beneath the mask, a blush creeps into her cheeks. At least the awful plastic visage hides the fact that the expression's hue is a distinctly inhuman blue. "Thank you. Sometimes I have a tendency to share one too many of my thoughts, and I wouldn't exactly call most of them wise." The light sounding self-deprecation is somewhat mitigated with an added, "But I very much appreciate you saying so." While one should be modest, one should also avoid carelessly tossing away compliments.
The name may not hold the same connotations for her but Chloe certainly knows the meaning of the word. How curious for it to be a name. Though she may be considering it too narrowly; perhaps in another tongue or another place it doesn't hold the same meaning. Either way, it doesn't matter much as Chloe isn't going to draw attention to it. "It's lovely to meet you, Maleficent." And there's nothing about the blonde to suggest otherwise.
There's a nod as the other woman speaks about her name, dozens of new connotations flooding her system. "Yes. It was very carefully chosen." A nymph of the spring who would glow with promise forever. A bloom whose smile would never fade. "A flower that will never wither."
It takes her a moment to process that the words have been said aloud. There's a beat or two of silence before she readjusts. Redirects.
"Now, on the matter of becoming accustomed to this sort of thing... There's getting a drink, there's mingling and dancing..." All of which are obvious, considering others around them are doing precisely those things, and so they're listed as options Chloe is happy to partake in should the mood strike her companion. "And there's also keeping out of the main fray in favour of getting to know a new acquaintance better." It's that option that sounds more favoured by the android, for both Maleficent's sake and her own.
