Before he could say anything she was standing and curtsying to him. He scrambled to his feet, his sword catching on the chair and yanking him a bit about the waist before he righted himself. He offered her a smile and bowed.
"Then I shall awai' yer return, m'Lady," he said before he stood upright and waited until she left before he slumped back into his chair and sighed. He hoped today would go well and that he could prove to himself that he could think of things other than impure thoughts about her. So far so good, though having the child around helped.
Picking up his piece of bread again, he hurriedly dipped it into his porridge before taking a bite. He hurried his way through eating so that they could relax a bit before needing to leave. He wanted to get to know her a bit so they could truly be friends. It would make seeing her a lot easier, at least that's what he thought. By the time she returned he was wiping up the dregs from the bowl with what was left with his bread.
