Haha, thank you, thank you so much. I'm very sorry, I'm actually not single, hahaha.
[She threads her arm through Lucien's very pointedly and tries to hustle them along. Why did they draw such a massive crowd the second they got into this crazy mall?
Committed, monogamous - considering one of those certificates around here and everything!
[ he will confidently take her arm and then just use his free to start throwing elbows, pushing through where he can and dragging her along if possible. whispering back, though he's a terrible whisperer: ]
[Okay they have reached a break in the throng. Walking faster. There's a weapons store ahead, and a glittering jewelry shop, a bookstore. Once the crowd is out of the way she can see there's actually things worth buying here.]
Back before my kingdom fell I'd have royal guards and a retinue, usually a train of carriages. People would flock but they never got near me.
[ he will break away into the weapons store first. that's interesting. who doesn't love a good weapon. he does not object to the arm holding, she is free to do that as long as she likes - though he does look briefly confused and level her with a look. ]
... Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
[ HE THOUGHT THE YOUR HIGHNESS THING WAS A JOKE. i honestly thought it was funny if he never figured out she was a princess until she flat out said it. ]
[HELP IT'S BECAUSE I HAVEN'T GIVEN HIM MY MEMSHARE YET]
I'm being serious? [She gives him a little smile. Fond...you're such a goofus.] My kingdom may be in total ruin and I had to live in the woods for several months, but that doesn't change the past.
[But oooh weapons. Her eyes go big, be there any arrows here? She pats his arm imploringly.]
[What kind of a compliment is this? The brows, they are rising.]
Well. Thank you?
[She's going to assume he means that she is smart and capable and strong, not pampered and weak. Probably.]
Both at once? I'd be scared I'd cut my own arm off. [She points to the archery section.] I'm going to swing over this way, meet you back here in a few?
he really will just go stare at swords longingly for a while before giving up on the idea he could actually get out of here with them, coming over to the archery section. ]
Really? I could show you some tricks if you like! [Being unaware of the inevitable keychainification with weaponry, she's ringing up a sizable batch of arrows, a hunting knife, and a more mechanized modern bow, which had proved easy on the draw and very much to her liking.]
It was one of a few things I could make to fend for myself, while I was in the woods. I've never tried swords before.
