Starting rumours (2)

Alana seemed to be the only one confused as to why this was going left so quickly. She touched Dawson's back and stepped to the side to see Jeremy. "Forgive my guard for being a little bit much with his words but surely you can understand why I cannot dismiss him and go with you."

Jeremy kept his gaze on Dawson, not wanting to be the one to look away first because then he would lose. "I hope you don't think that I would trouble you once we are alone, princess. I have known you for a long time. I can protect you better than this guard."

"It is not about who can protect me best. It is to avoid starting rumours and you know it. Dawson is one of Scarlet's guards and you are often seen with Luke. Rumours would start if we were spotted alone together and I can't have that now. I shall speak to you another time," said Alana.
