He knew they were speaking on some other level, but were saying nothing that could trouble him. What would a novice swordswoman do to tip the scales of power once Lyrio had sat down on his end with all his weight? Kill him, perhaps? He wouldn't put it past a city adventurer, but neither mother nor daughter seemed the least bit cold and hardened as them. Plus, it didn't seem to him that both were necessarily on the same side.<br/><br/>He read people, he'd been doing it all his life really. And he was good enough at it to notice the obvious foil between the two. A lady as well mannered and humble as the innkeep would hardly raise such a brash and unladylike lass by innocent choice. There was some friction here, and he couldn't resist slipping into such a wondrous thing between two lovely women.<br/><br/>"<em>Certainly</em>," smiled Lyrio, all of a sudden releasing Arisa's arm and deftly slipping away from her side. With a cocky, heavy strut he moved on Trinia and roped the same arm around her shoulders like an old friend. "How could I say no to a dashing and handsome escort?" Shifting his weight so Trinia could shoulder a fraction of it while idly feeling up her slim and surprisingly dainty shoulders underneath her scarf, he leveled his gaze with hers and asked with not-so-feigned interest, "what's your name, lass?"<br/><br/>If only Arisa was completely forgotten, however. Whatever she might think of Lyrio's move just then, she had other things to be concerned about! In the moment Lyrio's posse had moved up closer, at least one of them had brushed against Arisa. Innocently if rudely, at least it seemed at first. But while Lyrio so effortlessly shifted his attention on her first born girl that brush had mysteriously turned into a slight press, then a faint pinch, and now teasing on a full on grope of her ass! One of the lads, hard to tell which without some focus, was cheeky enough to run his hands on her in public! At least it wasn't obvious what with the growing crowd around them, but he wasn't subtle about it with Arisa either!
