She does not actually in any sense contemplate resisting. It wouldn’t work, and it would be humiliating and stupid and probably illegal and he’s being nice, right now, and her heart is hammering too loudly to hear her own very stupid thoughts anyway.

"What're you doing in the kitchens?"

       "Well, can't go back to the room, now can I, Issa's fucking some fancy nobleman."

"She isn't." 

        "She is."

                 "Which one?"

        "I can't tell the fancy noblemen apart, can you?"

"She's not even that pretty."

                                 " - turned me down, you know, and I'm no nobleman but I wasn't thinking to run out on her either."

        "Stupid whore."
