Clearly Eira had misinterpreted Ylrid's words, he had not meant them in the way she had imagined. He had not used it like a curse, but as her title out of respect. Of course in all of his dealings with women Ylrid was also smart enough to realize when it was best to just let things go. He said no more on the matter nor was it much of a necessity since she changed the topic rather abruptly.<br/><br/>It was one question after another, almost as if she were pushing him away. He realized it of course, but he was not easily pushed and had answers to everything she asked. In fact, while most people might suddenly go on the defensive Ylrid maintained his composure rather well, his voice even keel and smooth as he began to provide the answers she sought. "I am going to continue to stay for the reasons why I came for you in the first place, I swore an oath to protect you. My perceived attempt at killing you aside, you have this will to throw yourself into danger, not that I blame you, and so I will help to keep you safe until you sit on the throne of your kingdom, then we can re-evaluate things."<br/><br/>Ylrid took a breath as he treaded somewhat carefully with the next part of his answer not wanting to give away every detail of the arrangement with her father. "Whatever money and payment was talked about died when he died, but I am a man of my word. I took this job to atone for my past, protect someone noble instead of killing them sort of thing. I am trying to change my ways, my reputation, that sort of thing, for up to the time I began to watch over you the mere sight of me brought fear into the hearts of many men and women."
