She was still looking up at him even after he looked away.

Amyntas sighs, silent.

"You okay?" She asked him

He nods. “Yeah…”

"Good," she said. "Is there anywhere else you want to show me?"

He pauses, then shakes his head. “Not really…but if you wanna see everything you can…”

"Only if you take me." She wouldn't go with anyone else.

Amyntas sighs, “do you want to…?”

"Yes I do," she smiled at him.

He sighs softly, then nods. “Ok…”

She linked their arms together, looking forward.

Amyntas takes her around the palace, explaining where everything is and what it’s used for. He seemed tense the whole time. He had to stop and fix things constantly and he started slowly panicking as time went on.

Ariella held onto his arm as he took her around. She frowned as she noticed him starting to panick. "Would you like to return to your room?"

He nods, silent.

"Let's go then," she said.

He sighs and heads back to his room, staying silent.

She walked quietly beside him, slipping through the door and clicking it shut.

Amyntas sits down on his bed.

Ariella kneeled in front of him. "Are you alright?"

He nods, silent.

"Are you sure?" She put her hands on his knees.

He tenses and moves away, nodding.

She lifted her hands from his knees and instead put one hand in his and dropped the other by her side.

Amyntas sighs, staying tense.

"Would you like to come with me to dinner?" She asked. "At least have a glass of wine with me yes?"
