Something strange flits over her face, a brief moment of expression that he has trouble deciphering, but then she is all coy and flirtation once more, and he lets the worry slide away. It is easier to focus on the moment than fret about a brief grimace that he cannot quite parse.
"If you think you will have a moment's privacy as Spirearch," he retorts, sounding overtly amused now, "then you have not been paying much attention to your brother's trials and tribulations."
Even if Ninon did send away all her servants, even if she did bar anyone from entering her rooms, that wouldn't mean they wouldn't know what she is getting up to behind closed doors. Members of staff clean her sheets, after all, and all her clothes, and there would be people guarding the doors or even just passing by. It would be common knowledge that she was bedding her bodyguard, and the scandalous information would eventually slip from household staff into the world at large, and there would be no containing it.
