(ok lol)

Jair was silent, standing near her as usual.
Another noble spotted them, and walked over to them.

Kana looked up and internally groaned. This guy is known to put me down whenever he has the chance.

Jair was quiet.
The nobles eyes flicked from Kana, to Jair, and back. "A little birdie told me a lovely little rumor."

Kana smiled sweetly at the noble. "Isn't that nice?" She tried to drop the subject by leaving it at that

"Oh yes." He said. "I was told you're sleeping with commoners now." He said in a venomous voice.
Jair stiffened slightly, silent.

"Really?" She chuckled, trying to remain calm. "That's odd, because I'm still a virgin."

Jair cleared his throat. He looked at the noble. "Respect your queen." He told the noble.
"And why should I respect her if she gets found curled up in bed with her guard?" The noble sneered.

"Remember who's in charge here." Kana warned him. "You still have to follow my orders. And, that rumor was a simple misunderstanding."

"Innocent?" The noble laughed. "There's nothing innocent about being in bed with a common, mixed race, guard." He spat.
Jair took a deep breath, stiffening, but didn't say anything.

Kana raised an eyebrow at him. "Even if we were, which we weren't, it's not your business. And if you have nothing nice to say about someone, then you should not say it at all."

The noble snorted, and walked away.
Jair let out a breath.

Kana muttered an apology to Jair, and continued waiting for the rest of the court to show up.

"Its okay." He replied softly.

Others started arriving, whispers and glances were thrown at both Jair and Kana the entire time.

Jair remained silent, keeping his eyes fastened straight ahead, not paying any attention to the whispers.

(Should we have that one guy bring it up during the session or something?)

Kana cleared her throat and began the court session with six words, "This meeting is now in session."

(sure)

Jair stood near her still, watching. His hair was tied back.

"Is there anything we need to discuss? Things have been pretty peaceful in our country recently…" Her eyes flickered around the room, looking for anyone who had anything to report

"Yes, I'd like to discuss a rumor about an inappropriate relationship between the king and her guard." The same noble from earlier said.
Jair pressed his lips together.

"Oh? You do realize that rumors can be twisted around to make the person in question look bad, right?" Hoping that would drop the subject, Kana looked around the courtroom again. "Anything else?"

"Yes, that may be true. But look at them." He now was addressing everyone else. "He's always around her, always too close. I wouldn't be surprised if she never even wanted to be with him."
Jair stiffened, inhaling slightly.

"He's always around me because he is my guard. It is part of his duty." She replied calmly. "Perhaps you are jealous of my guard simply because he can protect me, but you cannot?" (We could spice this up and make that guy one of Kana's suitors)

"Mm." The noble replied.
Jair was silent.
(haha yesssss)

"I'll take that as a yes, then." She briefly smirked, but quickly turned it into a smile. "Anything else? Last chance."

"As one of your suitors, I find it highly inappropriate, and think the removal of this man from near you is best." The Noble replied. "I heard his homeland is in a civil war; I'm sure they could use a master swordsman.
Jair stiffened, drawing in a quick breath, but said nothing.
