It was easy to be formal, it came naturally. It was like a defense, it helped control her emotions. Marick was not going to accept it, it seemed. He pulled her tightly to him, and she couldn't help but blush as he kissed her forehead. Amelia nestled against him, despite her better judgement. "Hey, don't tease me, it's all in the breeding!" She laughed and held back a gasp, trembling a little as he ran his finger down her arm, his lips and teeth gently nipping her neck. "All that teasing makes me want to even more."
Amelia rested her head against his shoulder, pressing her lips to his skin delicately. Amelia wasn't all to sure on the questions she should ask, and she realized that the ones she did pose, might be a bit difficult to answer. She couldn't help but scoff as he called her lady. "Don't call me that, it sounds wrong coming from you." They were face to face now, and she listened intently as he spoke. She it bit her lip, her eyes misting a little. Poor Marick had not had his parents around when he needed them. He spoke of leaving, and it felt as if she had swallowed a boulder. She didn't want him to leave.
Amelia realized she was probably gripping his hand too tightly, and she pulled from his grasp. She looked at him, brushing a light finger across his chest. "My upbringing was all about training me to be a proper lady. To wear dresses, talk properly." She sighed softly. "I hated every minute of it. I actually sought out a trainer to teach me how to fight. My greatsword was sadly left behind." She smiled a bit, remembering the feel of steel in her hands. "My father tried to marry me off, arranged of course. I fought him tooth and nail over it. I guess he gave up when I broke the grooms nose." She smiled in satisfaction, remembering the look on the mans face. "Now, I just get paraded around. My father hopes I will find a wealthy, utterly boring man to marry." She didn't voice it, but she thought she had found the man that would actually keep her happy. "Am I allowed to kiss you now?" She laughed softly, teasing him just a little. It couldn't hurt after all.
