It had not been Hannibal's plan. He had thought he would hear her ring the bell rather than just open the door. He turned to face her as he reached down to put his tunic back on. There was mild frustration in his eyes as he saw the blush on her cheeks. He was not fooled by her game.

"You should have rang the bell before opening the door. It is a good thing I remained here instead of pertaining to business with my father. There will come a time when you are safe from my brother. Until that day you should be more mindful of your actions." He was re-dressing himself as he spoke to her.

He smoothed back his hair once he was fully clothed again and motioned towards the gowns hanging nearby. "These were my mothers. I picked a few that have a similar style to what you are accustomed to. The innermost later is silk. Do these please you?" He asked.

He ignored her game for the moment. He would watch to see if she would continue that game as their time together progressed.
