[They really shouldn't have sat around and tried to talk things out some more, because now there's jingling coming from the other side of the door, and the sound of a key being pushed into the lock. It clicks, but doesn't open, and so there's another key...]
Someone shows up...
[Shit! Of course this is exactly what has to happen the moment they start to get up and leave.
She has to think fast.]
Close your eyes.
[It's all she says before she shoves Eustace back onto the couch as the door's handle finally clicks and turns. Neither of them will be able to see who enters, but she figures it'll either be a guard or the Queen herself, but she isn't about to take that risk. So, quickly as she can, she climbs over him, her knee sliding between his, her hair draping over to hide them both, and her hands on either side of his face so he doesn't feel the urge to peek.
Whatever she did, it seems to work, because there's a man's voice blubbering from the door over the music.]
"O-Oh, sorry. I-I thought this was vacant...! C-Carry on!"
[And then he slams the door shut and locks it again.]
