Ariella smiled softly up at him and offered her arm for him to take. "You'll enjoy this. It's good to get out now and then."

He sighs, shaking his head. “I’m only going as a bodyguard…” He mutters, not taking her arm.

"You're coming as my escort. Now take my arm and let's go." Ariella looked up him as if daring him ti question her.

He huffs, still not taking her arm as he starts walking.

Ariella moved to his side and strung her arm through his, looking up at him with an eyebrow cocked.

He hisses slightly, making a face and pulling his arm away.

Ariella held onto his arm tighter, grabbing his bicep. "Don't be mean. A woman should have an escort."

He yelps, pulling away from her. “Let go!” He felt a stinging/burning sensation through his arm. This woman…

Ariella jumped away, shocked at his reactions. "Gods, what the hell is wrong with you?"

He holds his arm close to himself. “Not wanting you to tear my arm apart.” He snaps. and not wanting this shirt to rub against these damn cuts-

"Gods, I'm yanking your arm around." Ariella shook her head and walked ahead of him. She didn't actually know where she was going but she wasn't going ti admit that when she was dramatically walking away.

Amyntas grumbles, following her and staying silent.

Ariella refused to admit she was lost but, well, she was. She walking aimlessly now. She was angry and worried if she turned to confront him it would get ugly.

Amyntas sighs, “You have no idea where you’re going…do you?”

Ariella stopped her tracks. She wasn't going to admit that. "How about you show me where you want to take me."

Amyntas rolls his eyes and walks ahead of her to a shop. He then hands her a card. “Spoil yourself. Buy only the best clothes, and whatever else you want.”

Ariella looked down at the card then back up at him. "You're coming in with me."

He sighs and walks inside.

Ariella smiled in success. She loved getting her way. She followed in after him and starting looking through the dresses on the racks.

Amyntas stands there with a dead look, keeping his arms crossed.

Ariella kept looking, pretending she couldn't feel him staring at her.

Amyntas sighs and looks at the door.

Ariella finally pulled a gown off the rack, a deep purple and moved towards the dressing room. When she was all dressed in it, she stepped out ti look at herself in the mirror.

Amyntas doesn’t even look at her, still staring at the door.
