What mystified Aquene was how she had managed to worm her way in but no one else seemed to be able to. She saw how detached he could become around others… it was a vastly different side of him.

She could be her own worst enemy at times... she knew that. She smiled softly at him, a hint of shyness surrounding her. “And I will always worry about you.” She countered back. Just as much as she needed someone to look out for her, he needed someone to watch his back as well. She nipped lightly right behind his ear. “And one of those ways I look out for you, it’s my turn to remind you that you were going on patrol.” She had distracted him long enough. She did not wish for him to get into trouble. “Maybe you could escort me to the tablinum before you go?” She offered, her head tilting to the side.
