"I'm not worried about him. More worried about the attention I would attract to you becoming friendly with one of my kind. Or pulling your attention to me. We all know many of the nobles are not fans of us." When she began to talk about not telling him everything at once and the tension that she had been feeling earlier there seemed to be a pause where no one said anything. Valentine did not mention anything yet she was closely paying attention to his displeasure that night. It was something that he did not know how answer quickly to.<br/><br/>"You don't make me tense. I have my responsibilities. And I see them through. But I am still a man. And a man wants to know why he's being watched. And when he thinks he knows the answer. He wants to make sure it really is what he thinks it is." Valentine heard the sounds of Alissa's heels fade and fade further away before they began to turn back in their direction with a light bit of chatter. "It seems like our visit tonight will have to be short. Your mother and Alissa are on their way. Tomorrow night,Ellanore. For dinner. Or something else on the estate. If you grow bored of staring at me from across the table." Valentine turned towards wing leading to his room. Having a need to clean off the sweat and paint off his body before he could finally get some rest. There was no rush. Tomorrow held no challenges. It was finally a day to enjoy.
