*Marius hesitated*
"Well...I'm fairly certain she wouldn't like it if I did that, but perhaps...call it an unofficial capacity. You already keep an eye on the stable, and if she so happens to wander in there..." He shrugged.
"Well, why wouldn't you be watching out for her, too?"

"...it...it is not my place to have any interest in the young miss' business..." *he stammered.*

"Well, it's not really in her business. I would hardly expect you to follow her around. Only, if you could, when she's in the stables? Just as an extra set of eyes. I would pay you for your trouble, of course..."

*Robbie shook his head.*
"No, sir, I'd be glad t'do it, sir--what would I need more money for, sir? I've no reason to spend or save it."

*He smiled.*
"All right, but I just want it made known that the offer of extra pay is still there, if you ever wish to claim it...and thank you. There really aren't many I'd trust with this."

"I...I beat a man half t'death, sir...there's many in th'stables who could do as much if they felt they had to..."

"But I wonder how many would actually own up to it, considering what the possible consequences are."
*He shook his head*
"Besides, she has some regard for you--she wouldn't tell me who it was that fought that man. Protecting your identity."

"P'raps she didn't see me...or...or..."
*Robbie turned scarlet and coughed. He made an awkward bow even as he was backing out of the room, muttering something about horses, schedules, and obligations.
A moment later, he was running full-tilt down the hall, his ears burning.*

*He waited until Robbie's footsteps could no longer be heard before he started chuckling. It would take time for him to realize it, but Marius hoped that eventually Robbie would see that the Pontmercys did things differently when it came to class and station...
Still smiling, he returned back to the paperwork in front of him*
