The woman would have retorted, but as soon as Valeska cranked back to punch her, all voice left her. Her eyes widened and Veguard actually sat up.
"Lady-"
At the last minute, that fist was turned into a flat-handed strike that knocked the woman out for the second time in 24 hours.
The lady slumped, and was carried limply out of the room, leaving Veguard to do nothing but sit and stare.
It seemed Lady Valeska was quite angry...
He was still sitting on the bed when Lady Valeska finally returned, her head bowed.
Veguard was confused...not only did he not understand what had happened to him, he also did not understand Valeska's reaction to it all. Even now, her sudden subdued nature threw him for a loop.
"No, Lady Valeska, she did nothing to me. Um..." He groped for a question, trying to figure out what had happened. Just the look on his face was one of utter confusion.
"Could....some harm have come to me from the kissing...? Or...was...that lady going to hurt me...?"
His bafflement was very, very, very evident.
