[ Clarus makes a point that Luna is under the control of the Empire and that their treatment of her, no matter how much Regis might dislike it, cannot be seen as an act of war. Luna cannot argue, knowing what Ardyn did pales in comparison with some of the pain she'd felt in the past. Though, it's difficult to mask her reaction to that - it's minuscule at best. A micro-expression flashing across her face before it slips back into her mask.
She knows people believe her to be in the pocket of the Empire, their puppet to parade around as they see fit... But she's so much more. If they only knew what she fought to keep behind closed doors, out of the public eye as she worked to inspire hope and dreams of peace.
When Drautos starts laying into Nyx, she refocuses her attention on the verbal assault. Before Regis can step in and before she can stop herself, she stands and levels him with a look. A look that would later cost her dearly. ] Captain, thank you for your concern but I hardly think this is necessary at this precise moment. He saved my life and I--
[ Regis is quick to slip in, a hand falling under Luna's elbow to ensure she remains steady on her feet with the caring touch of a father. His soothing words smooth any feathers that might've been ruffled before returning his attention to Nyx as the healer picks up the discarded sleeves of her dress. There's another change in everyone's positioning, Regis moving to block Luna as the healer re-attached the pieces with a delicate touch. Luna tries to bite back the pain, a soft cry escaping - similar to the sound she'd made when Nyx had performed the same task. Her steps falter slightly, Regis spinning in time to keep her upright.
There's a room prepared for you within the safety of the hotel, my dear. I leave you in the capable hands of Captain Drautos and Nyx Ulric, they will ensure your safety. Trust no others for now. ] And what of-- [ Regis interrupts her query, aware of the question attempting to escape her lips and the way a hint of fear rests behind her eyes. I will address any concerns brought up in regard to your disappearance. A healer will stop by in the morning to see if there are any changes to the injury. And with another look, directed at either Nyx or Titus, he gestures for someone to take his place at her side. ]
