She's not sure how to feel when Zevran doesn't yell at her, doesn't even scold her, or say anything negative to her. She looks unsure at his reaction, like she expects more after he's done speaking. She messed up. She admitted to messing up. When is he going to berate her? When is he going to tell her that he's disappointed?

It takes her longer than it should to actually answer the question, waiting for the reprimand to come. But all he says is that she did well. On top of the way he treated her when she admitted her deed with the other agents, she's left feeling like Zevran had started speaking to her in Antivan, instead of Common. Finally, she speaks, quickly answering his question.

"Um--It was that woman, that really scary one--Nerva. But if you talk to her--" What if Nerva just got angry again? What if she grabbed her again? Like Nerva hadn't already been intimidating before. But Zevran's suggestion afterwards soothes her enough to calm down. Zevran and Alistair (they were sleeping together? Really? She had to tell Gavin) were both skilled fighters, in their own ways. No one--Not just Nerva, but anyone would mess with her if she was staying with them.

"If it's alright with Alistair, that sounds...nice. I don't mind snoring, and I'm pretty quiet." She assures him. It's only belatedly that she really thinks about what sharing a bed with two men might imply. Right next to two men. What if they weren't wearing shirts--stop thinking of Alistair shirtless. Stop it.

Sylaise grant her strength.

"Yeah--um. It sounds good to me."
