Thread: For Your Protection (Sliverknight X N7Biotic)

Amelia smiled at Sergio as he spoke to her while he busied himself unpacking. Her cheeks blushed a little when he called her helpful, but she tried not to focus too much on that. Sergio did have a good point however. Playing her part as a simple working woman would lower the chances of people putting two and two together in contrast to her staying in the room all day. She wasn't even sure if she could even let herself do that in the first place unless it was required for her to do so for the safety of others. Also, playing this part could be the very thing she needed to experience to become a good leader for her people. Amelia did want to be the best Queen she could be for her people and putting herself in their place would make her see things that would let her get to know their struggles better. If she got her own hands dirty instead of watching from a distance, she could see every struggle and hardship they go through on a daily basis and maybe then, she could try to make their lives better once this is all over. This village in particular would have her most sincere debts for hiding her, even if it was unaware that they were sheltering a very important person. Sergio would have her greatest debts of all. He risked himself for her on a daily basis and now was risking his entire home to protect her. She would have to think of something truly fantastic to show how grateful she was to him, for now, just doing what she could to help him would be the most she could do for him and hopefully that would be enough for now. She got up from the bed to look outside of the window for a moment to admire the beauty of the outside world one more time before returning her gaze to Sergio. Amelia watched as Sergio put a series of knives away, hiding them in various places in the room. She wanted to remember some of the hiding places in case something were to happen while Sergio wasn't around. She chuckled a little seeing Sergio almost mess up her new name. It was going to take some getting use to for awhile, but they couldn't afford to mess it up. If one of them slipped up and said her true name in front of someone, it could cause some problems. She gave him a smile and a gentle nod. I'm sure I can make myself useful in some way. She joked playfully. I'll most likely help the others clean and cook, but...I might visit you every now and then if you'll have me.After all...I am suppose to be your wife, it might work to our advantage for others to see us together sometimes. She smiled, blushing a little shyly as she brought it up. The idea of being his wife was still new to her, so the idea of having to play the part still made her nervous. She wasn't sure how far they would have to take things to keep people convinced that they were a legitimate couple and that alone was enough to make her cheeks turn red. When she saw that Sergio was making his way back to the bed, Amelia returned to her seat on the bed with her hands politely folded on her lap. It looks lovely nonetheless. She smiled when Sergio brought up the fact the gardens were smaller then her own. And if it give the village all it needs to be prosperous then it's more valuable then the one in the palace given that most of it is hedges and flowers, which are beautiful yes, but in truth does little in terms of food and wine. However, her smile faded into concern when Sergio brought up the fact that there was only one bed in the room. Granted, the idea of bringing a second bed in the room could raise some eyebrows, but so could Sergio sleeping on the floor if someone were to come in and see it. While the idea of them sharing a bed made her nervous and blush intensely, but she couldn't in good faith let him sleep on the floor either, even if he was use to it. He deserved the bed more then she did and the idea of making him sleep on the floor made her feel awful. No, I can't allow that. She shook her head gently. Sergio, you of all people should get to sleep in your own bed, but...it could also raise some concerns if we're seen sleeping in two different places or not sharing a bed...especially since we're suppose to be married. I'm...I'm fine with sharing the bed with you. A little nervous yes, but...I trust you and I know you won't do anything to me unless I wanted it too. She explained shyly, feeling her face grow redder by the second at the implications of her words.
