Ning looked briefly toward Captain Maelis behind the princess before accepting her request.
"Of course. Should we go somewhere else, or will my room suffice?"
"We can talk inside," the princess said.
"Then come on in."
The princess entered first, with her guard following immediately behind her before closing the door.
Captain Maelis moved toward the wall rather than sitting, maintaining enough distance to give the appearance of privacy while remaining close enough to intervene if anything happened.
Ning took one of the chairs near the small table while Princess Elowen sat across from him on the couch inside the room.
She looked around the place, not immediately saying anything.
"Is this visit regarding the attack on me last night?" Ning asked. "If so, you can rest assured that nothing happened to me, Princess."
"Hmm? Oh. It's… related to the attack," the princess answered. "I wanted to ask you about something else."
