Nina had a bronze tone to her skin, and it was flawless. She had a soft complexion and cute cheek bones, and straight teeth. She stood still and compliant enough as the lord grabbed her jaw and inspected both sides of her complexion. Her dark eyes held lowered so they did not meet his gaze. She listened well, but she gave no indication towards any emotions for his words no desire to be a bedside companion, no confusion at his demand for knowledge, no fear at his threat, and no snap-the-finger immediate response to his question. After a pause of silence, she took it upon herself to slip out of his grasp slowly, and then raised her knowing gaze to meet his. She didn't step away at all, though her face was now free from his crudeness. I don't know where you come from, good lord, but I believe it wouldn't be an assumption, by now, to accurately state that things might run a little differently around here then what you are used to. She looked away, fixing her dark eyes upon the top contents of a foyer shelf. There is a palace harem, of which I can lead you the way. She deftly adjusted a vase on the shelf, I also hear that for tonight's activities during dinner, of which you will be attending, two slaves will be auctioned off. Now pleased with the vase, she brushed her palm upon the thin material of a servant's dress she wore. Perhaps you can find a bedside whore for your pleasures, that way. She met his gaze. Nina was definitely showing a different side of her personality as opposed to the meek servant girl who had her head bowed when he was first introduced to her. She was scrutinizing him, because there was more to be addressed here. This lord demanded eyes and ears, with the king and queen as a focal point. Servants had to be careful too, you know, because disposing of servants was far too easier a task then it was to dispose of a Lord. He was a stranger. His intentions were unknown. But he obviously had intentions...and that made him mysterious to Nina. But before any words were said between them, she moved passed him deeper into the room, sashaying her hips along the way. They have given you the Lion's Suite, my lord. She reached the black-out curtains of a grand window, and raised both arms to quickly snap them open, wide and far. Sunlight poured into the room, illuminating many decorative items and furniture with lions as a theme. They were on ground level, and a semi-maintained court yard was outside, along with another wing of the castle directly in front. Nina didn't point, but her eyes were searching each window of this adjascent wing to the palace. Your room is directly across from the personal suites of the two Princesses. She then looked away from the window back at him, The courtyard is guarded, moreso at night. Why was she telling him this? Was she just giving him a tour of his new room? No. Because if she had been giving him a tour she would have taken the time to show him the other three rooms of his Lions Suite room. Instead, she walked back to the door, fixing to leave. Would you like for me to return in a few minutes after you've settled into your new room and lead you to any place in the palace, my lord? The hot baths, training yard, stables, library, gardens...harem? She raised an eyebrow. If not, I will return when the sun hits the top of the trees to lead you to the dinner festivities for the night.
