Thalia's brows rose in surprise at Isacc's request, but the faint frown on her face indicated her hesitance at acting as lax with the noble as she did around others. Manners had been a big part in the way she had been raised, so all these people abruptly telling her to throw the titles and (perhaps excessive at times) respect out of the windows was a little jarring for the young woman. Still, after a moment passed, she gave a small nod in acquiesce. [color=#FFA6A6]"Very well. If that's what you'd prefer, Sir Isacc."[/color] Despite her words, her posture was as rigid as ever. She made a very obvious effort to try relaxing herself, but the result was only the faintest sag of her shoulders...which promptly straightened right back up. It would probably take her some time, but she would try. After listening to the others' responses to the noble's question, Thalia leaned forward and set her elbows on the table, propping her head up in her hands. Brows furrowing, she let out a long hum as she considered her own answer. [color=#FFA6A6]"I was just asked to accompany the group to ensure the Princess' safety, but I can't deny that Sir Jacob's goal sounds like a noble one--and, of course, a dangerous one. I'm still here to protect the Princess, but I'd like to do what I can to keep the Champion safe as well."[/color] Sitting up again, she dropped her hands into her lap and smiled. [color=#FFA6A6]"I hope that I'll be able to provide a positive contribution of some sort on this journey at least!"[/color] Almost immediately after speaking, the girl suddenly had to fight off a yawn, which she only half-succeeded in doing. Ducking her head in embarrassment, she abruptly stood up and grabbed her empty tray so that she could return it. [color=#FFA6A6]"Though on that note, I won't be of any help if I'm suffering from sleep deprivation. I think it's about time I retire for the night."[/color]
