[Now, no one here is surely naive enough to believe Iris would not show any surprise on her features. Sprezzatura's true form is new and unusual for her to see, even if all she does see matches everything Hurley has described to her. And though the detective no doubt painted a flattering, possibly embellished picture, she too gazes on nothing before her that wasn't characterized in loving detail.
To view it in person is still quite an experience. Iris can easily see the devilish parallels — why, she thinks she even catches the faintest whiff of burning. But all else seems a sharp, pointed elegance. The curve of her tail, the line of her horns, the darkness of her eyes that might compel a man to think her mysterious. Ohh, maybe that's one of many things that made Hurley fall for her, isn't that an exciting thing to think about?
But moreover: Sprezzie's tense. This is an act of trust, and Iris finds that such a precious thing. If her hand is still in her lap, she cannot help but give it an excitable squeeze.]
Hurley was right. You are uniquely beautiful. And so grand.
[This ten year old girl, already faced with someone she is keen to look up to, will of course subscribe grandness and admiration to Sprezzatura from the start. She's even inches more taller with those horns!]

It's no wonder daddy fell in love with you!
