“He sounds like a lovely gentleman with a good sense.” she complimented as she pointed to the mirror so she could see herself fully dressed. “He’s very lucky to have you, though I wonder why he has let you roam without a protector.” Lia had become comfortable around her temporary master so she did not have quite the reserves of questioning things she had no business in.
She stood and walked over to the mirror, her eyes widening a little. The dress - the dress was so elegant. Never had she dreamed she’d be in this; she was just a simple flower girl! She was entranced by its beauty, it took her a moment to actually answer Lia. “O-Oh, uhm, he’s not really… around anymore. As for a protector, I’m quite capable of taking care of myself.” After everything that had happened to her, she should be.

She waved her hand dismissively. “It’s fine, don’t worry about it. And not right now, no. Thank you - for everything.” She smiled at Lia as she left.

Once she was sure she was alone - she threw herself onto the bed, having never noticed how sore her whole body was until then.
