(Okay I'm good with that)
A Promise of Fire (closed)
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.
group
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.
group
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."
group
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?"
group
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.
group
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.
group
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."
group
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."
group
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.
group
Amyntas stands there with a dead look, keeping his arms crossed.
Ariella kept looking, pretending she couldn't feel him staring at her.
group
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.
group
Amyntas doesn’t even look at her, still staring at the door.
Ariella rolled her eyes. Men. She cleared her throat, trying to get his attention.
group
Amyntas sighs and looks at her. “What do you want?”
Ariella resisted the urge to roll her eyes again. "How do I look?" Men. They were awful. She wished she liked women. It would be so much easier.
group
He nods, “You look good…” he looks back at the door.
"You don't mean that. You're just saying that so I leave you alone." Ariella crossed her arms.
