Had Agrias been any less of a knight, she might have smiled slyly, knowingly at the couple and teased them shamelessly as opposed to melting her surprised expression into a mask of neutrality and holding it firmly in place. Not that she would ever be caught doing such a thing, let alone in any sort of public place, but for the two seconds she entertained the thought as a relative comparison, she imagined she would have been truly grateful had anyone who stumbled upon herself and... another... not make an ordeal about it, and so reaffirmed her decision not to do so whilst forcibly pushing the aforementioned relative comparison from her head as it simply didn't work.
She paused as Gabranth requested she excuse their display and continued the silent, meticulous process of layering her emotions through her expression as she looked between the two. That she had been right in giving them time alone was not, in truth, exactly what one would call a surprise and to have come upon a display such as this... for all the inappropriateness about it, she closed her eyes and shook her head, but not at all in disapproval as Quistis issued a request cut from the same fabric as that which Gabranth had only just issued.
Opening her eyes, she looked at the couple for an odd moment and then from Quistis to Gabranth, as she spoke, meaning woven skillfully into certain otherwise innocent words.
"The fault is mine," she replied, her tone calm with only the subtlest inflections -- knight to knight, friend to friend. "As I would see neither of you surprised, I thought it best to inform you that the Strahl makes for Costa Faguita. I trust you will keep Quistis steady, Gabranth?"
