[ There's a slight smile at the mention of drinking somewhere more private and personal with herโ despite the fact that this should be an obvious thing due to their agreement to keep things between them secret, she can't help but feel like it's a nicer comment than that, based at least on the tone of his voice, that he wants to spend time quietly with her not just because she's a secret but because he wants to be alone with her.
Like this.
She likes this more than she wants to.
She's silent, but there's a slight nod as she listens, as the topic shifts to the women who chase after him. It makes sense that he'd feel that way. After all, Amber has more than once told her that she should be careful for the sameโ although opposingโ reason, drinking too much in public when her family is as widely loathed as it is. Who's to say someone wouldn't take advantage of it to hurt her?
Of course, she's never listened, and whether it's sheer luck, or her fierceness, or her being a ranked Knight, she's not been hurt yetโ unless she counts the pain of the shame and regret the following mornings. Which of course she doesn't.
Right?
She shakes the thought off and focuses in on him again, just listening to his words. With any luck he won't notice the differing emotions playing out, the box apparently a little too full what with the way things seem to want to spill out right now. ]
