Natia bit her lip nervously.  She wasn't sure what to do and only had one idea for how to get out of this sticky situation.  "Stay here." She whispered, "come find me."  She leaned in and gave Vi one more goodbye kiss, putting her fingers on her cheek as their lips met in the brief but torrid kiss.<br/><br/>She forced herself away and out of the closet, closing the door behind her. "Pardon me, monsoir, I got lost. I am a foreign to your land and was trying to find my way to the foyer when I got lost."  It was a specious lie, of course but Natia laid her accent thickly and hoped a mix of stereotypes about dumb foreigners and her diplomatic status would keep her from the worst consequences. "Would you be so kind as to show me the way back?  I wish to leave this grisly scene. I came across it and panicked when I heard voices but now that I see you, I know there is nothing to fear."<br/><br/>She stepped up to him and took one of his hands in hers and smiled sweetly, hoping to arouse some chivalrous instinct in him and to appear far more harmless than she truly was.
