Surely he wouldn't be foolish enough to use that chance to steal from her, as his distinctive appearance against her connections and prestige must mean that he wouldn't get far before someone turned him in. Then again, she had felt somehow... different since he had entered. Her heartbeat had quickened, her thighs shifted uncomfortably, and all the while she tried to push any unladylike thoughts from her head. If he intended to, well, lay a hand on her body, than she wasn't entirely sure that she would find the right words to rebuke him.<br/><br/><em>Oh you're terrible!</em>Luciel giggled, realizing his intent from the conversation.<br/><br/><em>Oh you're terrible!</em>Lilium groaned, realizing his intent from Luciel's excitement.<br/><br/>Whatever the case it wasn't an offensive request to the noblewoman, by any means, and certainly a good deal. The amulet was worth far more than anything he could possibly palm himself, and if it helped her find a good man, as Lady Martel hoped given its connection to Sadesh, than it was worth just about any price.<br/><br/>"Very well. You'll stay in one of the guest rooms. I'll see to it as well that one of my maids attends you;" Lady Martel replied. Yes, keeping a servant on him would make it hard to steal anything, and if he had another woman around him than she should be able to keep him from trying to touch her of course. "After all I expect you wish for the full aristocratic treatment while your sleeping in my bed; ah, my guest bed."
