Lauralye dropped his hand as David refused to accept that Robert was more than just a slave. Again, the voice that didn't seem to belong to her came forth, "And he saved my life yesterday. If he were locked up wherever wish to have him put, I would be dead," She took his hand in her own again, trying to calm him as Robert apologized. She looked at him thankfully. However, the pleased look faded from her face when David snapped at him. She dropped his hand once more, "Enough. You don't get to say where he does or doesn't go. I say that he is here, so I suggest you learn to play nice."
