[ Wriothesley is right: who they are back home really has no bearing on their positions here in this strange hotel. He's offering to help her regardless of their complicated history, and she's grateful for his kindness, and for his calm. It's steadying, in spite of the confusion and uncertainty. ]
I'll be all right. I'm pretty good at thinking on my feet, so I should be okay on my own. But... I'm glad to know that I'll have someone like you to watch my back. It's reassuring.
[ Though, the fact of the matter is he's offered to do more than just watch her back. She glances over at the bed and a fresh blush climbs up her throat. ]
It should go without saying, but I'll do my best to look out for you, too. I'm pretty reliable, you know.
I know you will be. [Perhaps one might think such words can be kind of condescending, but they're said with upmost belief that Navia will be okay.
After all, Navia had not gone through what she had only to be done in by a resort that just wants her to bang more than occasionally. Also, the place was...well, it wasn't terrible by all means. It isn't a vacation, but it also wasn't like they were doing heavy, manual labor or anything.]
Spina di Rosula has done greatly under your leadership and I cannot imagine someone to think of you as undependable. Business negotiations beside, I have never thought of you as lacking, Navia. [Though, he can't help but follow her gaze towards the bed.] Mora for your thoughts?
