Elisia had managed to distract the guards for a few minutes of her dramatic acting. Then, she finally managed to stand up and pretend that she was feeling better. But still, she kept limping as if her knee still hurt.
"I think the pain had subsided." Her hands massaged her knees to show them that she did not need help anymore.
In truth, she had to get out of there before the other guards became alarmed, or Aurora learned that she was out of her room. She did not need this incident reported to her mother or any of the Covenant heads.
"Are you sure, Ms. Elisia?" One of the guards asked. "We can call..."
"No need. I am ok." She quickly interrupted, not wanting anyone else involved. "Go back to your duties. I don't want my mother to get mad at you for thinking you went out of your post."
That did the trick.
