Got a 13, hoo boy.foolishclericSeptember 3 2011, 12:23:04 UTC
[Okay, this suit is really odd - he's never seen anything like this. All white and not very comfortable--at least there was some blue and silver in the shirt under the jacket and the tie, but still - where were his vestments and the rest of his stuff? Even his holy symbol was gone!]
It was fated to happen, really.healsforjusticeSeptember 3 2011, 12:32:26 UTC
[Unfortunately, Amelia knew exactly what was going on. It was probably due to her outfit being more of a give away, as well as the fact that she recognised the embroidery on Aldray's suit; that of Seyruun royalty. The hotel clearly hard a horrid sense of humour, though she'd be lying if she said he didn't look good.]
Umm, Mr Aldray? [All he would see was a head poking through the door at the moment; best to ease him in gently instead of just appearing, her attire might give him a heart attack.]
[Aldray's busy patting himself down, trying to find something that's familiar on his body. At least they left him his usual ring - though there was another on the opposite hand. That was strange...]

[Swallowing the lump in her throat, she twisted the ring on her own finger nervously, sighing as she spoke.]
I think...we've been had again, Mr Aldray.
[And then she moved into the room, closing the door behind her. Really, what else could she say? Nothing was going to make this any easier. She doubted she needed to say much more anyway; her dress pretty much said everything for her.]
[And once she stepped out, it hit hit the man like a ton of bricks. The ring, the clothes - they were a fair bit different than what he'd seen traditionally used at home, but even Aldray could put two and two together here.]
[He'll stammer a bit, face going red. Eventually, he finds his words again as he steps up to Amelia.] Well...while we may have been had again, you do look quite lovely in that, Amelia...
[The colour on her face no doubt mirrored his, going a little darker at his words, her eyes fixated to the floor as she wrapped her arms around herself.]
Thank you...so what should we...[Her voice trailed off quietly; obviously there was what was expected of them, but it wasn't as if they could simply follow blindly along with the fantasy, right?]
I suppose that we make the best of it. [He holds a hand out to her, a rather goofy grin on his face.] Clearly, we've done this in the name of furthering justice!
[Aldray's face tinged red, and he shook his head.] Ah, no, no, of course not - if it was for real, it would be the result of a reasonably-lengthed period of courtship.
[Amelia laughed softly, face still flushed, noticing how close their rings were to touching one another, eyes gazing up at him tenderly as she squeezed his hand.] Then I would count myself very lucky in that instance, having someone like you as my husband Aldray.
[That redness remained, and he swallowed as he returned Amelia's gaze.] I... I'm thankful that you think so - I'd be honored to have a lady like yourself to call my wife.
[She couldn't but smile more at that, despite her blushing. Something in those words made her head flutter pleasantly, willing her to draw a bit closer.] Thank you. I suppose there isn't any harm in musing over it. I doubt I'd have any regrets if it were to happen.
I know you would. [She returned the squeeze, looking thoughful for a moment. Perhaps it was being the dress, but she knew that if marriage ever happened for her, it wouldn't be a simple matter.] Still, I'd be asking a lot, making you give up a good deal of freedom to be part of the Seyruun royal family.
[Her head tilted to the side, looking at him curiously.] You truly wouldn't mind having to give up traveling? You wouldn't regret having to settle and take on responsibilities for the kingdom?
What's the meaning of this?!

Well, if this was for real I'd hope that wasn't the only reason, noble as it is.

[He looked rather thoughtful as well, then smiled.] Perhaps, but it would also give me more of a focused purpose - to fight for a specific place.
