Alizarin
Ubi got on one knee, looked Alizarin right in the eyes, and took her hand. By now, her entire body was frozen still. She couldn’t even mutter out a single word because she was so overcome with nerves that it was like she was immobilized or something like that. However, it didn’t stop there. As if she wasn’t nervous enough, but what Ubi said really stroke a certain something in her body.
Ubi went on to say stuff like how he’s a man who has come to sweep Ali right off of her feet. Furthermore, he went as much to say that he loves hard for her. At this point, Ali was about to faint, but she collected herself at the last minute. She didn’t want to appear to be some weakling that faints every time some hot guy professes his love to her. No, she wanted to be able not to faint. However, what he did next was going to test her to the fullest.
Ubi kissed Ali’s hand.
Her entire body was melting, and throughout this entire ordeal, she only could mutter out one thing.
“eeeep”
Her tone was so high, it was kind of a screeching kind of ‘eep’.
It was a good thing Ali was able to collect herself, she noticed the little pet dragon that Ubi had. Even though she’s kind of terrified of dragons, this one was sort of cute. Even more so when it snuggled to Ubi and just fell asleep on his shoulder. how sweet.
The attention came back to Ali as Ubi began to explain his reasons for going on this journey. The whole notion of change was really what everyone wanted, but everyone was afraid of change. Ali listened to what he had to say, and through some weird way, he knew exactly what this whole ‘kidnapping’ was about.
Intensively listening to literally every word he had to say, Ali heard the sincerity of Ubi’s voice. His words reeked of a mixture of pain, and a weird sense of comfort. Ali could emphasize with him on this particular subject. Wanting to make change in the world.
“Change is all we ever want..” Ali murmured.
After the serious moment had passed, Ubi surprised Ali with a suggestive wink, and even more so, his tone was even more suggestive.
“Oh, nothing much.” She quickly responded, fiddling with her fingers.
Trying not to show another moment of her nervs, Ali shook them off with a simple head shake.
“It’s nothing really, but a part of me is worried that the guards might find us. It’s not like I can’t handle myself in a battle, but the princess..” In light of everything, Ali knew that the princess was the typical royalty. She had little to no experience in battle. Even with all of the strong warriors including Ali protecting the princess, she’s going to need to know how to defend herself.
“I’m just worried that she might be too dependant on all of us if the situation arises that we’re not able to protect her completely, y’know?”
