Chaucer was momentarily taken aback, but resumed a composed posture and flicked back his hair as though to emphasize his nonchalance. "Pray settle, cousin. I wasn't attacking your glorious idea of a bathroom sanctuary, just posing questions!" It was quite fine when Kellen decided to stand up for himself - it added a little intrigue to their relationship, so long as he didn't choose to make a habit of it. "And no, I couldn't ask for just the lot of us here as the only attendants, but should someone come along who chooses to tell the fairer sex... you know, they might take it as a challenge and double their efforts. If we take that possibility into consideration then yes, perhaps you really have something." It was this way of speaking that allowed Chaucer to feel in control somewhat of the situation; a cover he used for not having thought of the idea himself.
