You try defending yourself

"Well you see, we were just dispatching some goblins and-" you begin, before getting cut off by one of the strangers.

"Goblins, huh? Dangerous stuff. You're lucky, Lass, that your dress was the only casualty." The man next to you pinches your nipple with his free hand to emphasize his point. You squeak slightly in response as he continues. "You know, maybe you need better bodyguards," the man continues. "My name's Louis and these are my two compatriots, Charles and Pietro." Louis begins slowly pulling you away from the others. "We would love to accompany you along this dangerous road."

"Well, you see, Nell and I-" you stammer, but are cut off again by Louis.

"I insist, madame! It would ruin my honor as a soldier to see anything untoward happen to you!" You are pulled further away from Nell, and when you try to turn back to him, Louis puts his arm around your shoulders and pulls you back towards him. "Now if you come with us, I'll even treat you to a meal when we get back to town, and I'll pay to get you a new outfit!"
