“I couldn’t, Miss Hart.” Charlie countered despite Anita’s insistence at casual address. At the present moment she was too mortified to consider it. Unless it was an order? Had the princess given her an order? It sounded more like a suggestion.
Charlie quickly had Anita’s hand in her and she pulled the other woman up easily. Her other hand went out to Anita’s side to steady her as she stood up. “I’m glad to hear it. Again, I’m very sorry.” Apologies were reiterated as she handed off the purse she had picked and refilled.
“Oh.” She frowned. “I suppose you haven’t been briefed yet. This morning the King - ah, your father and your brother were tailed by a man who was later confirmed to be a Covenant of Allied Forces informant. The man has turned up dead in a motel room.”
Charlie brushed at her uniform to rid it of any leaves it had collected in their fall, well, her tackle. “So the Queen has beefed up security. Your father and brother now have their own details. I’m guessing you will have one too now. And extra perimeter security has been assigned to all of the royal residences...um...hence...me.”
She gestured to herself kind of awkwardly displaying a crooked smile that briefly showed off the dimples in her cheeks. "I don't normally do security work. I'm just trying it out. I guess I'm not that great at it as you know firsthand now." Apparently Charlie was keen on continuing to beat herself up about...beating up the princess.
Her eyes flicked to Anita's hair, ears twitched as she reached up to draw leaves from black curls. She tried to be gentle and not get the hair tangled or pull too hard as she pulled grass and leaves from the woman's hair.
