Genevieve placed a hand on Motto's at his recanting of his parents. He must have loved them very much. From all that she had heard, which wasn't a lot admittedly, about the Royal pair, it seemed everyone had. While she held her parents in high esteem, Genevieve couldn't relate. Still, it did not mean that she could not show a little empathy. He had lost them at such a young age. She was glad to know his love for them never wavered.<br/><br/>The woman did smile at Motto's blush. He didn't seem to do it very often and the warmth in his cheeks suited him. She pushed her face against his hand, smiling at his show of affection. He was tender and good to her, but to know that she may very well be the cause of what had happened left a pang in Genevieve's chest. The last thing she wanted was to cause Motto harm.<br/><br/>The sudden tension in the room was alarming. Genevieve looked between both Hector and Motto. He had mentioned to her he had lost control before. Back when they...well, even just a thought back to their night spent together was enough for Genevieve's cheeks to flush. Did something happen between them? During his loss of control?<br/><br/>"Motto?" Genevieve moved to cup his cheek. She encouraged him to look at her. "You are surrounded by people who love you, Motto. People like Hector," She nodded towards the older gentleman. "And Elenore..and myself." She smiled, her eyes scrunching just a bit. "You are not a burden." Her thumb rubbed his cheek and she leaned in to peck his lips. "Go. Get some rest. I can see how tired you are. I'll come say goodnight once Hector and I have finished talking."<br/><br/>Perhaps it was a bit forward, instructing the King as she did. And she practically said she'd stop by his chambers! If in not so many words. Still,  she stood by her words and watched Motto leave, her hand lingering in his until he was too far to reach. Genevieve turned her full attention to Hector, there was a slight frown pulling at the corner of her lips. "Tell me everything Hector." She wanted to know it all. Most of all, how to protect him.
