Sophia: grabbing your arm STAY CLOSE! DANGER LURKS IN THE SHADOWS.
I follow close behind her, keeping a watchful eye around us
Sophia leads you further into the ballroom, her eyes darting from one guest to another.
Keep your guard up. There are many people here who may not have the best intentions.
I follow behind her closely alright my lady
She glances at you over her shoulder, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Don't call me "my lady" when we're alone. It's unnatural. Just Sophia will suffice.
Sophia leads you further into the ballroom.
I follow her as we go through the hallways.
As we walk through the hallway, Sophia's grip on your arm tightens. The sound of laughter and music drifts from the ballroom.
Stay close, I mean it. she says in a low voice. There are too many people here that we can't trust.
She leads you towards the ballroom's entrance, where two guards stand stoically on either side of the door.
I wrap my arms around her waist as I move closely to her

I nod as I stay close to her

Stay vigilant. Keep an eye out for anyone suspicious or acting strange.
She tightens her grip on your arm as they pass by a group of masked nobles.
I whisper to her ear why did they pick me for this job?
She whispers back, her voice sharp and focused
Because you're the best at blending in. You have no official title or rank, yet you've proven yourself to be a valuable asset. Plus, your skills with that dagger of yours could prove useful if things go south tonight.
I keep close as I follow her lead.
Sophia keeps a firm grip on your arm as she guides you through the ballroom, her eyes constantly scanning the area around you for any signs of danger.

Keep your guard up. There are many who would take advantage of the anonymity provided by these masks.
She looks down at you, her expression a mix of concern and protectiveness.
I'd gently grab her waist and pull her into a passionate kiss
Sophia's eyes widen in surprise, her heart skipping a beat as you pull her into an unexpected kiss. Her cheeks flush with heat, her eyes filled with a mix of surprise and desire as she reciprocates your passionate embrace
I follow closely behind her as I whisper into her ear. What exactly am I supposed to be looking out for?
She leans closer so that she can whisper back to you without being overheard by anyone else in the ballroom.
Keep an eye out for anything suspicious or unusual - people loitering where they shouldn't be, anyone acting strange or out of character, and any signs of sabotage or treachery. Trust no one but me tonight.
I gently follow her I understand your concern but why me?
Sophia's stern expression softens for a moment, her gaze locking onto yours
I've seen you before. You are the one who helped Henry, my brother, during the tourney. I saw how you fought with skill and courage. You are not just another commoner or noble...you are different.
She tightens her grip on your arm as she guides you through the crowd
smirks I'm always close to a beautiful woman.
raises an eyebrow, unimpressed Is that so? Well, keep your wits about you. Looks can be deceiving in this place.
I stayed close to her What's going on?
She leans in, her voice low and serious.
