I hope you do not take this in the wrong light, but I am a bodyguard and thus fairly confident in my abilities to defend myself against you. And I've got an eye on him.
[Laurent. He's careful not to go too far that they lose sight of his young charge.]
He's probably welcoming the room to breathe without be so nearby, truth be told.
[Her mouth twitches, and she glances up at him with a raised eyebrow.]
I more meant oughtn't you be keeping an eye on him, not I might be a threat, but I appreciate the call to reality. How do you ensure he's safe at this distance?
[He twitches something of a smile in return. Oops...]
He'll be fine. I've got a good eye on him, and I'd be more concerned for anyone he manages to corner than for Laurent himself. [He shrugs slightly.] I think it'll be better if he gets the moment to himself, anyway. He's not been exactly receptive to the idea of having a bodyguard. Not everyone welcomes the idea of a permanent shadow.
[Faolan shoots her a sideways glance, obviously weighing up how much to tell her and how much to hold back. He's a good bodyguard, and Laurent's safety is a constant priority, but his identity is no secret. Especially not if he is to be attending the same university that this woman teaches at.]
He left the country and his brother's security so that he might study abroad here. [He spreads his hands wide to indicate the city of Recolle itself.]
This -- or I suppose you could say I -- was his compromise.
He's twenty years old, and now he has a permanent shadow. I think he's taken to it just about as well as anyone in his position can. Some days are better than others.
[He sticks his hands in his pockets, shrugging slightly as they walk.] Some days I think he's purposely trying to get me sacked.

[After all, there's not many who would take well to being watched, whether it was for their own good or not.]

Surely you won't be outwitted by a twenty year old.

You have obviously not yet met Laurent.
[He is... A force to be reckoned with, putting it mildly.]
