Ariella liked the sound of that. She was particular on her weapons. She had a specific grip and weight and she preferred.

The man hands her a sketch pad, “if you’re any type of artist, you can make me a reference.”

Ariella smiled at the pad. She took a pen and started designing her preferred blade. She wrote down to the side the sizes and weight she wanted it. Then she handed it back.

The man looks it over, smiling. “I’ll have it out for you soon. Any kinda engravments or gems? Or any metal preferences?”

"Carbon steel. No gems but I'll give you the liberty to do whatever engravements you want. I trust your judgment." Ariella smiled.

The man chuckles, “Nice. I’ll get to work. Come back ina bout a half a week.”

Ariella nodded her head and gave a small nod. "Thank you. And you can just put it on his tab." She pointed at the prince over her shoulder.

The man nods, “You betcha.”

Amyntas sighs, “Can we go now?”

Ariella rolled her eyes at him. "Yes we can go now."

Amyntas starts walking home.

Ariella followed beside him, gently placing her hand on his upper arm. It was a whisper of a touch really.

Amyntas stays quiet, walking inside and straight to his room.

Ariella followed behind him whether he wanted it or not.

Ares sighs, “Your things are in your room.” He flops onto his bed.

"Okay." Ariella jumped up on the bed next to him, kicking her shoes off.

Amyntas glares at her, then rolls his eyes and turns onto his side.

Ariella flopped back on the bed. "What do you wanna do now?"

He huffs, “Lay here…” He mutters.

Ariella sighed. She supposed they coukd. She had dragged him around everyone for a bit. She rolled over and softly placed her arm around his middle. "Alright. Just for a little bit."

Amyntas sighs, “More like the rest of the day…”

"No, we won't stay here all day. Just for a bit. Then you can show me around the palace."

Amyntas sighs, “Mother or father can do that…”

"But I'd rather it be you." Ariella gave him a small squeeze.

Amyntas sighs, “Whatever…”

She smiled. "Thank you." She pressed her face against hos back, curling around him as of she was trying to protect him.
