Thread: For Your Protection (Sliverknight X N7Biotic)

Just feeling Sergio's hand within her own was enough to make Amelia feel so safe and happy. It was a simple act, but somehow managed to make her feel such strong feelings towards her knight. The feeling of his strong hand holding onto her own smaller and more fragile hand made her feel like she could do anything as long as he was by her side. Her cheeks were a little red just from holding his hand alone, but every time a villager looked towards their direction, her cheeks would brighten up a little more. Though she couldn't be surprised by the eyes that looked at them. After all, she was a stranger to them who was involved with a highly respected member of their village. Amelia did admire the respect the people had here for people. In the capital, people would swarm her the second she left the castle if they knew she was seeing someone asking a million questions and giving her little chance to answer them. That sort of thing happened with anything she did. It wasn't a bad thing really, they were just curious about their princess, but it did make things harder when she just wanted a nice outing. Here though, the rush of questions and people surrounding her didn't seem to be a problem, so they could enjoy the things around them more. Amelia looked around curiously in the store he had lead her into, not leaving his side, but still curiously looking around before turning her attention to the man behind the counter. Seeing the man eyeing her, Amelia gave him a smile, knowing that he was probably just as curious as the others when it came to her in general, especially by Sergio's side. It's nice to meet you too. She greeted in return after he greeted her by name. She shouldn't be too surprised that the clerk already knew her name, her fake one at least, since it was easy for the word of her appearance to spread like wildfire. Amelia listened to the clerk informing Sergio about the merchant, silencing taking notes that the merchant would be back soon in order to keep all the details of the village's ins and outs in her head. However, hearing the clerk compliment her made her chuckle a bit and blush a little brighter, but she didn't say much since she didn't want to interrupt Sergio and Mark's conversation too much. After all, this was her time to learn and get to know the people in the village and she would get a lot more information if she listened more then she spoke. The idea of a new hat did seem like a good idea given she didn't want the sun to be in her eyes too much while she worked, but Amelia couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by the gesture. Just the idea that Sergio had thought of these things before hand to make her time working with him a bit easier made her heart flutter a bit. She may have been silly for this, but she still thought it was rather nice to think that she was in his thoughts. In the castle, she didn't really have much need for a hat, so owned very few, but she already knew whatever they walked out with today would have a special place in her heart, even if it wasn't as nice or fancy as the rest of her clothing. Amelia followed Sergio to the room filled with beautiful dresses and hats and found herself impressed. While they weren't as fancy as her other things back at home, there was something about the more common clothing that had its appeal to her. They were still beautiful and wonderfully made, she would even go as far to say they were better then the ones she had back in the castle. The fact they weren't so fancy gave them a more comfortable appearance that really made Amelia wish she had more clothing like it instead of the more complex and tight dresses that royalty tended to wear. What made things even better was the fact Sergio was here beside her to experience all these new things with her. Her cheeks blushed brighter seeing Sergio lean in for a kiss and found herself meeting him halfway. She closed her eyes to enjoy the brief, but sweet kiss. Amelia was tempted to kiss him again herself and let it last a bit longer, but she didn't want to make things awkward for people who were looking their way and seem improper. Maybe the next time she got a chance, she would instigate the kiss. It may be embarrassing to think about and even a bit scandalous, but Amelia was curious about what he would do if she kissed him herself without anyone around to look so it didn't seem forced or for appearances. She knew they had to kiss in public for appearances and he hadn't kissed her before without someone to see it. A part of her was worried he would push her away and tell her it was just part of the job and nothing more, but...she supposed she wouldn't know unless she tired. Her eyes wondered from hat to hat, they all looked rather beautiful and seemed to be able to get the job done of keeping the sun out of her eyes, but she rarely went shopping for herself. Everything was either a gift or picked out for her, so the idea of picking something herself was a bit foreign. What do you think love? She asked him curiously, They all look so nice, I don't think I can chose really. She chuckled a bit nervously as she let her hand squeeze his.
