Lauralye blinked a few times when David asked why she was with a 'slave'. She hardly had a chance to answer before Robert spoke. She closed her eyes, this was not going to turn out well. She turned as David when to Robert and quickly took hold of his hand, "David," She said quietly, "Please, do not speak to him in a such a way," She then shot Robert a look, telling him what he was doing was not acceptable either. 

She pulled David away from Robert slightly, "Robert saved my life yesterday. You ought not speak to my savior, and guard, so cruelly."
