"Hey, what-"
Ishara's pushing at him was met with verbal protests as he walked backwards into the room to avoid being knocked over by the small, but determined woman. She would have been easy to overpower, but Darcy wasn't one to go around manhandling women even if she was content to do so. "What is the meaning of this-" he started, suddenly suspicious of her intent, but the set of her mouth shut him up. Something he said had annoyed her.
"Yes, gossip," he agreed quickly because he was still making an effort to end their interaction. His visit had also been half-work, since it was his duty to investigate if one of his men expressed an interest in an Eskran civilian. He'd not expected to be made to feel so foolish by one Eskran nurse. He'd underestimated her and now he was paying for it. He frowned as she posed coquettishly. She was already attractive, she did not need to make the effort. He had noticed, but now was acknowledging to himself for the first time that she was very beautiful. As if he had been trying to ignore it. All that red hair framing delicate features. Gentle green eyes.
"You're fine," was all he said, instead of anything even vaguely complimentary. If she was a spy she was certainly too smart to waste her time on someone like Renly.
"I'm going to go," he announced quickly, gently pushing past her. He opened the door and stepped across the threshold. "Good bye, Miss O'Rourke."

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
