Thread: For Your Protection (Sliverknight X N7Biotic)

Seeing Sergio look at almost every dress and hat that the store seemed to offer put a smile on her face. She could see that he was putting a lot of thought in his personal choices for her. Amelia never wore any dresses or hats that had more purpose then just making her look nice, so she knew she could trust him with picking something that could help her out in the fields and in the house. She looked around a bit herself, admiring a few dresses and hats herself, unable to deny that the person who made them was very talented indeed. The sound of Sergio's voice, however grabbed her attention once again as she looked towards him to see a dress and hat in hand. Her eyes lit up seeing what he had chosen, examining them a bit closer as he handed the dress and hat over to her. The color was rather pretty to the eyes and a color she hadn't gotten the pleasure to wear before. It was shorter then most of the dresses she's worn in the past, most of them rarely even allowing her feet to be shown so, the idea of having her knees exposed was a bit embarrassing, but she knew Sergio knew what he was doing and trusted his judgement. The hat was simple, but very cute and the ribbon matched the dress he had picked out for her as well. Oh my, these are perfect! She smiled at him with a bit of excitement in her voice. They're so cute and the fact you picked them out for me makes them even better. I love them. She smiled to him sweetly, hugging the two items close to her body, but making sure she wasn't messing up either one. Amelia meant what she had said. She really did love the dress and hat he chose for her, mostly due to the fact that he was the one who picked them and knew that she would treasure them even after all this was said and done. Amelia felt guilty at the idea of Sergio paying out of pocket for something for her, so she was going to reach for the little coin purse her father left for them, filled with plenty of coin for the two of them to use when needed, but the shop keeper's voice stopped her from getting very far. His words not only flattered her, but made her grateful for his kindness. You're so kind, if there's anything you ever need from me, don't hesitate to ask. I know the dress and the hat are gifts, but I can't in good conscious accept them without doing something in return. All you need to do is ask. She smiled kindly at the clerk, showing him how grateful she was for his kindness. In the capital, it was extremely rare for any store owner to gift anything to anyone, even royalty unless they wanted to end up in good favors with them. She couldn't blame them however. The capital was huge and in turn had a lot of stores and shops to occupy it, so it could end up being a fatal mistake letting yourself be too kind to every soul that visited them. It was a sad truth that Amelia hoped to someday be able to change. The idea of a small ceremony for all the village to see made her blush. She knew it wouldn't be a real wedding, but just the idea of it made her blush brightly and oddly made her really happy. Maybe it could be an idea she could bring up to them once they've gotten more settled down. After all, this village was the place Sergio was born and raised, and the people had been so kind and welcoming of her, the least they could do is a small ceremony for all those who wanted to see it. She could see it all already and had to force herself to stop thinking about it to keep her face from turning any brighter. The idea of lunch did sound nice since her stomach did start to feel a bit empty. She squeezed Sergio's hand back in return, feeling her own smile getting bigger just from the sweet gesture. Yes, thank you again. It means a lot to us. She replied, joining in Sergio in showing gratitude to the store owner again before giving Sergio a sweet smile, And thank you for bringing me here and helping me pick out a few things, I think I've would of been here for hours just trying to decide on one thing. Everything just looks so wonderful, I wouldn't even know where to start. She chuckled a bit at her own words, while further complimenting the store.
