The guard wasn't particularly overbearing, he didn't really see a threat as of yet and his mistress was not in distress. The blonde went silent for a time, then rubbed her forehead and finally said, "I am sorry. I should not have confided that in you, you are more of a stranger to me than myself." She flushed and cleared her throat. "I am called Sonia," she offered almost helplessly in an effort to make it a little less awkward.

She did not notice the change in his demeanor, of his distress that the guard was nearby.
