Frowning slightly, Niara buries her face into the pillow. Why was Luce waiting for her? She hadn't asked for protection for the night, and hardly had anything to fear from her frolics with Dranthium. He had been amused to hear that Luce was waiting for her, and even suggested that they invite her to join in. 

"She is waiting? Outside? Let's bring her in for some fun! I doubt she's enjoying herself just standing around out there, waiting."

Niara gives him a firm look. "No. She is here to protect me; Probably thinks you are of questionable morals." Grinning, she tosses a ripe grape at him. His teeth snap as he catches it in his mouth, smiling as he lounges back and chews. His fit, nude body stretches out in his normal self-confident demeanor. 

"Well, she could probably use some sort of jolt of fun to her system. Not really sure if she knows how to have fun for herself, you know?" 

Niara shakes her head with a small smile as she picks up her clothing, dressing herself again. "That be as it may, jumping into bed with the both of us will hardly break open her up more." She sits to pull on her stockings, but pauses thoughtfully. "It's strange, she seems so completely normal when sitting and chatting with her, but then when you look at her, it is as if.... Oh I don't now..." 

Dranthium scoots closer, picking up a stray jade haircomb that was half-hidden in the sheets. Holding it out towards Niara, he gives a wry smile as he speaks. 

"It's her eyes. She is very focused when she is using her bow, but otherwise they don't really show much of how she's feeling." 

Taking the comb slowly, Niara nods faintly as she frowns with slight concern. "That is almost exactly it." Shaking her head, she continues to dress. "In any case, I have no idea what possessed her to come out here to watch over me like this." 

Dranthium rolls to his back, resting his hands on his chest. with a teasing grin. "Perhaps she fancies you." 

That couldn't be it... Luce didn't seem to fancy anyone. She was simply protective in nature. But why was she protective of her so... often?
