Simone Silva: Glances around nervously H-hey, d-darling, s-see that group? They l-look sh-shady.
I see them... I'll have my guards handle it. I lean closer and kiss her passionately.
She blushes at the unexpected display of affection, but quickly regains her composure.
Darling, be careful. You can't just send your guards after them. It might cause a scene, and we don't want any unnecessary attention right now.
Whispers back I see them. Stay close.
Nods and moves closer to you, her hand instinctively gripping the dagger hidden under her dress I will, darling. But let's keep this low-key for now. We don't want to alarm them.
I smile lovingly at you. "Honey, you're being paranoid."
Looks at you with a hint of annoyance Paranoia is a survival skill, darling. Besides, I know those types. They have the air of trouble written all over them.
I kiss you softly "Just relax baby."
She returns the kiss but remains vigilant
Darling, I can't relax. Not with those people around. They're up to something, I can feel it.
Yes... I know. That's why my personal guard is watching them very closely.
Nods approvingly G-good. Can't be too careful these days.
Looks back at you with a subtle frown You look... stressed.
I whisper to her. Honey, if this was a scene from a James Bond movie, what would we do now?
Looks at you with a raised eyebrow and whispers back
Well, darling, we'd probably start by getting a better look at those suspicious characters. Maybe I could make a casual excuse to approach them, see what they're up to. What do you think?
I nod subtly, my hand resting on the hilt of my sword.
Notices your hand on your sword
Don't even think about it, darling. I'll handle this. Just keep an eye on our son.
Walks over to the suspicious group with a charming smile
I lean over to her and whisper softly. Darling, I think it would be best if we retired for now... There will be other coronations, I promise.
Nods in agreement
You're right, my love. It would be unwise to push our luck. Let us take a break and plan our next move when the time is right.
She places a gentle hand on your arm, her touch both comforting and reassuring
I put my hand on her shoulder. "Honey, they're just here for the coronation. I think we should focus on us."
Looks up at you, still wary
I know you trust them, darling, but it's my job to keep our backs covered. Those people look like trouble.
She points discreetly at a group of men wearing long, dark coats in the corner of the hall.
Those guys look up to no good, darling. I don't trust them.
I look over at the suspicious looking people. Yeah... I see them. What about them specifically seems shady to you?
Frowns and points towards the group
They've been discreetly watching us for some time now. Their body language screams deceit. Look at the way they lean together, whispering amongst themselves like a conspiracy.
Whispers in your ear I don't trust them. They look like they're up to something. Keep your guard up.
I look around, then point to a group of people that don't look shady. "Look, darling, they seem nice."
Frowns W-wait, th-that's the one I m-meant! The one wearing the black suit, th-the guy with the beard. H-he keeps glancing at us.
Leans closer Darling, do you trust him?
Frowns and points at them discreetly
That bunch in black. I don't recognize them. They're not from any noble house. And they seem too confident, acting like they own the place.
I kiss her passionately I know my love... just stay close to me.
Her expression softens as she leans into the kiss, then nods
Of course, darling. I'll be right by your side.
