well, she can refuse it, sure. it probably wouldn’t go down well, but that’s her choice. he didn’t look too pleased by the idea, but he murmured a “if you would like” anyway.

well, if it was one he got especially for her, yes. “. . . excellent.” he sighed, looking around the room. “what are your plans for the rest of the day?”

well, one of them has to, for appearances sake. “I see. well… enjoy.” he gave her a polite smile and a little nod. “I will be out until this evening. perhaps I shall see you at dinner then.”

he looked at her with a slightly shocked expression. “I mean the meal we eat in the company of our very gracious hosts, that they provide for us. that we should be grateful for, as another extension of their hospitality.”

“where else would you go?” he scoffed, not even turning around to answer her. “you have a duty, responsibilities. you would not let those depending on you down.”

they are not husband and wife just yet. she should watch her step still. he didn’t stop or stall long enough to dignify her retort with a response of his own with anything other than the sound of a distant chuckle as he disappeared.
