[ She tips her head, one skeptical eyebrow arched. ]
You mean to tell me that if we left this closet and you immediately ran into one of your friends you would remain the soul of discretion.
[ If they are both here, why not anyone else they know? Her sigh is barely audible. ]
That said, I think I understand your perspective. [ The last time she had a taste of any anonymity at all was behind the Flame Emperor's mask. ] It may be that everyone else has no reason to care, or would be inclined to lock us in another closet.
[ But if they do find more familiar faces she doesn't want who she may or may not have kissed to be what people think about when they look at her. She still has an army to lead into battle. It would be better to avoid situations like this with people she expects to give orders to on the battlefield.
Not that people she will one day see on the opposite side of a battlefield are much closer to ideal for this situation... but here they are. ]
