Though the proposal was more than touching, Cynthea raised a brow - Rouen? Standing up like that? No, it wasn't that it was completely out ouf of character, by-the-book or otherwise, it was merely the way the confrontations ended.

...and they didn't end very well for him, to say the least.

"Rouen, you really don't have to..." she said, her tone still soft yet louder than before. "Whatever they throw at you, you shouldn't get the brunt of it. And if there's anyone who should? It's I."

In spite of her composure, there was anything but confidence in Thea's voice. She was right after all, it wasn't his fate to get roughed up. Just hers. Alone. And no one in the end but a bunch of elegant strangers she didn't know of, unless her father kept his promise. She feared for his safely, yet she dreaded playing the victim.
