Shawn stood silent as she spoke, darkened eyes focused solely on her. He let the words sink in. And though she spoke quietly, as she was apt to do, her tone allowed for no misunderstanding. She may look to be the timid sort of maid but there was a bite to her, he was well aware. He couldn't help the slight flicker of a smirk at the thought. She reminded him very much of Caro though in a more poised and mature sort of way. Caro could be blunt and a bit bold but she still toed the lines of propriety from time to time. He didn't think Nimiane toed those lines all that often. Though, she seemed to keep to herself more often than not so perhaps that was what prevented her from really toeing those lines.
But it was the final remark that really sunk in to him. He stepped toward her then and, without much thought, took her hands into his and pulled her up in one swift movement. One hand slipped from hers and slid around her waist to pull her bodily against him as he pressed his lips against her own. It wasn't the proper thing to do in the slightest, he knew that, but it would speak more than anything he could possibly manage to say.
