Indrean stared at the Commander and gave him a small smirk that didn't at all reach his eyes, and he waved the man off as he mentioned keeping the money for himself and his men. He wanted to give this man the benefit of thinking that he didn't care or that he wasn't interested in hearing what he had to say, but it was water that he had to tread, especially if he wanted to keep the Lady safe.<br/><br/>When the Commander left, Indrean shifted his gaze down to look at Daewyn; she looked nervous, and rightly so. These men were after her and were being rather shifty. He didn't trust them to actually leave them be without further investigation....why else would he have gathered up so many of his men?<br/><br/>His eyes lifted to the Commander again and he shifted on his feet, smirking wickedly as if he were thinking the same thing as the Commander.<br/>"Good day."<br/>He muttered underneath his breath as Daewyn met his gaze. For a moment, just a moment, he was struck with silence; she was a rare jewel and was in need of protecting, and yet here he was, pretending to be her...lord. His brows furrowed in disgust at that thought, and he rested his hand on her shoulder and squeezing it reassuringly.<br/><br/>"We will leave in due time, my Lady. I promise you that."<br/><br/>His eyes remained fixed on hers and he gave her a slight nod before moving around and ushering her out of her seat and down the hall to one of the rooms.<br/>Upon closing the door, Indrean let her go and dipped his head apologetically.<br/><br/>"I am sorry, my Lady, for frightening you with those bounty hunters. I hope you understand that everything I said and did out there was false. My vows to protect you remain the same, but I understand if you do not trust me and wish for me to leave you as soon as possible."
