A similar line of discussion had also occurred to Irene, for the record.
"Oh, yes, I would definitely make sure no one took advantage of you," Irene promised, eyes sparkling all the more at that blush. (Two years and change in, too, and she could still make that happen. There was something special and beautiful about that, too.) "No one eating you on my watch."
A pause, a smirk as Irene casually cast her eyes down at her menu again. "No one else, anyway," she added, soft enough to be just for Amaya's ears.
See? But there could also be room for just a touch of deadly sentiment, and maybe the barest bit of -- possessiveness wasn't the right word, not at all. Maybe more like a sort of...faintly smug, relaxed pride.
