She silently wondered if he did it deliberately; she was over analytical, paranoid, and calculating. Her smile remained on her face just the same; even she sized him up, twice over again. She brought a slender, well manicured hand through that one rebellious dark tendril of hair and tucked it behind her ear.  She at least appreciated his catch on her humor; while looking as proper as the kingâ€™s daughter she had unconventional ways about her and had lived independently for a long while.  Then he asked to go with her, and she fought to keep the smile on her face.<br/><br/>â€œIf you wish to accompany me, I only ask that you follow my instructions to a T. If you donâ€™t, firstly, I canâ€™t guarantee your safety, and secondly I canâ€™t guarantee mine; the second being what Iâ€™m more concerned about due to your obvious advantage.â€ She draws in a breath. â€œBut I was planning on ducking behind you anyway should things turn out for the worse, so getting to know each other a bit better may be advantageous so I can get the right angle for maximum cover and minimal evisceration.â€  She said this with a completely straight face; and it was unclear whether she was serious of if it was a joke. It was rather difficult to tell with her.<br/><br/>She paused for a moment; unsure whether or not she could truly trust him at this current point. â€œThough keep in mind while it is my service to heal the sick and wounded even should I despise them, should you betray the trust I place in you with my life, I can always send you down a very bad path.â€ She leaned in a bit towards him with that effortless grin, and looked towards the rest of them. She had already spoken enough; and the prospect of Sydney joining her was troublesome enough. She was forced to accept it because he was right. She would ensure no others came with them. She didnâ€™t want to play babysitter when she was trying to work and remain unnoticed. The slightest wrong move could cost them dearly. She nodded to Holt in reassurance that it was all right, and she didnâ€™t mind his company.<br/><br/>Her curious eyes drifted about the others; wanting to know more about them. She fell silent; not wanting to speak over anyone, and frankly not wishing to speak anymore. She had a lot to contemplate, and her mind was working rapidly.  She sipped her wine in thought; listening to the others speak and falling into the background almost instantly by posture and gaze.
