He made it his business to go protect her awww. He can’t help closing her.
"Be still," came the low, dangerous voice. The tone of it sent a jolt through Ruelle—a voice she knew all too well. Lucian. When his grip shifted slightly, he lifted her higher, which was when she noticed the sharp thorns ahead of her. "What did I tell you about walking barefoot?"

Lucian actually inviting her to drink after chasing her out. Tempting but isn’t it safer to leave
Lucian's gaze was slow to shift to Sawyer, as though the effort of entertaining the suggestion was beneath him. When he finally spoke, his tone was clipped, "If she can hold a drink."

Yeah no. As lovely as it would be ruelle needs to get out before they get caught
"Why don't you join us for a bit until your friends return?" Sawyer suggested, his grin widening as he gestured toward the ballroom. "It would be terribly rude to leave you without company. Have a drink! Enjoy the evening with us." He turned to Lucian with a playful smirk. "What do you think, Lucian?"

I think it’s time to go ruelle. Gather your friends!
Lucian's jaw tightened, and a muscle feathered in his cheek. "Harmless?" he repeated, his voice low but seething with restrained anger. "Let me enlighten you, Belmont. I am guessing it has been nearly two hours since you doused yourself in that concoction. Side effects—nausea, drowsiness and sometimes fits—will follow soon enough. In this environment, those symptoms might as well be an open invitation."

Oh I feel like a kid getting scolded.
"You have outdone yourself, Belmont," Lucian drawled, his tone deceptively casual. Each syllable was a razor, his sarcasm laced with an undercurrent of disapproval. "What is this? An excursion? Or have you decided that failure isn't such a heavy burden after all?"

"Lucian," Anthony stammered, his earlier confidence unraveling like loose threads. His hand twitched at his side—a small betrayal of his unease. "I didn't realise you were acquainted with the lady. I meant no disrespect."
