[ This is old hat to Dorothy by now, and she thinks at some point, much later, she'll look back on this and laugh bitterly into her drink. A simple girl turned jaded runaway turned spy whelp turned seductress. At least, that's her role to play tonight, and Dorothy dances to the tune of beguiling allure easily, as though she'd been born to do little or nothing else.
That's far from the truth, of course, but it suits her purpose well enough tonight.
It isn't as though she hasn't taken notice of the tall, stately-looking server. Many of the young noblewomen had already flocked towards him, instead of fawning over the more portly and older baron-- which was fine. Dorothy didn't need an audience.
But who knew, that the very person who had been such an excellent distraction earlier, was going to bump into her now. Dorothy responds in kind, a quick, subtle sidestep in the off-chance that he hadn't been prepared to evade her.
Tonight, she's still the young, maidenly student of an academy for the wealthy and demure. She answers as such. ]

The rudeness was on my part. Do excuse me.
