Trying to look appealingly fragile, she leaned slightly into Nate, as if seeking protection from his larger frame.

"I wish you'd managed to recruit the rest of the lacrosse team with you, though." She glanced dismissively at the other people milling about the hotel lobby. "No one here looks capable of putting up much of a fight," she added dryly, utterly oblivious to own hypocrisy. Blair's only contribution so far had involved lots of screaming and running.
