Maybe I wanted to see if chivalry was dead. Why send a woman to do a man's job? [ She fakes, she lies. Elizabeth's words were still dreadfully optimistic at times even if they lose the feeling they usually had. Not now, not anymore. ] The wrong kind of attention will get a girl killed. Is it wrong wanting to protect myself?

[ Elizabeth's snapping her gaze back to him. He seems to want reassurance and that kind of makes her teeth grit together. ]

I suggest you give me a room to breathe or you'll be two for two with pretty girls touching you in bad ways...
