Ha. That gets him a look, not so terribly severe as she tends to be these days.
For a moment she manages to evade, and evade again, before-- alas. She is caught. That's it, sorry Zevran, she can never leave.
A little frown, at that. She cannot say much for the character of Michel de Chevin, though she has heard enough about Chevaliers. Like her he followed orders, but something vile twisted in her at the thought of Halamshiral. She had pitied Celene that decision, that Justinia's orders pushed her hand... and yet. Her feelings on the matter and the man are complex, and she would be hard pressed to summarise it. "Ah. Yes, I can imagine they were... expressive."
She exhales, hands stilling a moment from the game she has been providing Luciano in their odd hand wrestle. "People do not deserve love, just as they do not deserve forgiveness. It is given or it is not. Deserving... no, that is not a factor." But she does sigh. "Just because I think it is a wonderful thing does not mean that it is not dangerous. I cannot know their hearts or their intentions. I would not stand between my scouts and love, I--"
This lie is getting difficult to talk around without sounding out of her wits, but at least she is not entirely without reason for some caution on behalf of her scouts. "How many have been seduced or charmed for information? How many have lost their lives for such mistakes. They know to watch for seduction, but love? That is far more dangerous."
