When he brushes her offer aside, she isn't offended; she has no practical skill, aside from the bit of skill with governance she has learned from watching her father on Progress. She is merely a woman. And knowing full-well that she likely can't be of much help, she inclines her head. )

Margaret of Anjou and her mother share the dubious title of "The Bad Queen". Elizabeth has been raised to be (to a point) above attempting to influence her spouse or curry any for herself. Basically, she knows not of what he speaks. )
