Lloyd took Lehnar's chin in his hand and gazed deeply into her eyes.
"You certainly are an inquisitive one!" he said to her, trying to sound praising. "We will talk more of this tomorrow. I will then explain to you who we are. Now it is late and we both better get some rest."
She smiled with acceptance and Lloyd kissed the back of her hand.
She left him as he entered the state-room and realised for the first time since he was standing with Lehnar that there were no guards. He momentarily became concerned for Boyce's safety. He looked about the dark room until he saw him reclined upon one of the divans.
Boyce was still in the state-room. It was obvious that he had been there all this time without being bothered, but it mildly confused Lloyd that Boyce didn't notice that he was left unguarded.
He quietly shut the door to the room and began to remove his tunic. It was then that he noticed, under the crack of the door, light and the movement of feet.
One shadow crossed the light, but only one.
He bent down and looked along the floor under the crack of the door and saw the callused feet of one guard on each side of the door.
Lloyd now knew for certain that they were no longer as safe as he hoped they were.
He quietly went over to Boyce and touched him on the shoulder.
