Thread: For Your Protection (Sliverknight X N7Biotic)

Sophia was thankful that she wasn't so easily recognized. If they have tried to hide in the capital then she would be spotted right away and would wonder why she was playing as a peasant amongst her people. The fact the villagers here didn't know her face very well would work in their favor and lower the chances of any assassins finding them unless one of them happened to either live in the village or happened to be wondering through and saw her. Sophia wasn't too sure how well the assassins knew her face, but she wouldn't put it past it for them to recognize her the moment they saw her. It was going to be a risk where ever she was, but the less that people knew of her presence here and the less traffic of visitors it had, the safer they would all be. The voice of the one the workers grabbed her attention once again and she quickly found herself blushing nearly beet red at the meaning behind his words. Oh my...I...I mean...we... She tried to retort, but found that she was unable to gather the right words without giving themselves away, so her jumble of words ended up fading as she slowly stopped herself from talking out of embarrassment and fear she would reveal something she wasn't suppose to. At the very least, she allowed herself to smile and chuckle a bit awkwardly and simply reply, Well, thank you for your kindness. She shook the female worker's hand with a firm, but friendly handshake just as her father had taught her to do as she smiled at the lady and replied, It's wonderful to meet you too!, before listening to the rest she had to say. The female's words weren't as embarrassing to listen to, but were a bit surprising. She knew Sergio cared for her greatly, but didn't expect him to care for her so much that he hadn't found himself a nice woman to care for. It wasn't a subject they often talked about often, but she was more surprised that he didn't have eyes for a woman before. With his personality and his natural good looks, he must have of women swarm for his affections, but it seemed he never found one he cared for more then herself and she had mixed feelings about it. She smiled and giggled a little seeing that Sergio's face had gotten red too, but found herself with conflicting feelings. She was flattered to have such care from her best friend and personal guard, but it also saddened her that he hadn't had a wife before her pretending to be one. Sergio would make a wonderful husband to some lucky lady and even a better father if he ever ended up with children. Not much more was said between them as Sergio thanked them and took her by the arm to lead her away, probably before they revealed anything else about him that would make him embarrassed. The idea was enough to make her smile as she followed him to what she presumed to be their new bedroom. The room was just as impressive and cozy as the rest of the home had appeared and if Sophia was in any other situation, she could find herself easily getting comfortable and falling asleep while she stayed in it. However, she was still too nervous to let herself get too relaxed. She was a bit hesitant to sit beside him on the bed, given the implication that were given earlier, but she slowly joined him as he spoke to her and giving them a little distance to make things less awkward. Yeah...there's some...things I didn't think about either. She laughed awkwardly, her face still red. It's rather lovely though. It's easy to feel safe and comfortable in a room like this. She replied, commenting on the room as she watched him stand. Her smile grew a bit more warm as he brought up how he thought the people would take to her. I hope so. They all seem really nice. I'll be sure to help them where I can to show my gratitude for their warm welcome to someone that's basically a stranger. I really like it here. I think we're going to be just fine. She replied to him, giving him a sweet smile with her hands folded politely in her lap.
