A Marriage Arrangement - Closed
Lucas let silence fall over him as he waited for her to reply, but his blue eyes continued to dig into her. Shifting down to her toes, and back up to her hair, he made sure that he took in her entire appearance. It was only their first week together..
But that didn’t matter. She was still his, and because of his jealous nature he wouldn’t allow her to get funny ideas. And dammit, Lucas had to make sure this relationship worked. His father were starting lose hope, that his son would ever find a suitor or happiness…so when he heard that Polka’s family was looking for a husband to take care of their daughter, he stole the opportunity.
“Good.” He voiced, and then pursed his lips in thought. Slowly he reached a hand out and took hold of her hand in his own. He held it tight, out of nervousness, and he hoped he was doing things right. “Are you ready to see your new home?” Lucas looked down at her, as he spoke. “..My Dad built it for us. with the help of some other’s.”
She had to suppress a shiver as he took her hand. It wasn’t that she was scared of him - wary, yes, but not scared - it was just that she was still so unused to people actually willingly touching her, especially so... closely. It would probably take her a while to get comfortable with it, sadly. Still, she couldn’t let her discomfort get the better of her here.
She’d just have to get over it.
She nodded eagerly, an uncertain smile gracing her lips at his question. “Y-yes please! I heard that he was building one, an-an-and I’ve been looking forward to seeing it.” Despite the stutter, it wasn’t a lie. Her grey eyes were sparkling with earnestness, and she was practically bouncing with excitement now.
Honestly, anything to distract her from the awkward atmosphere that had been created was welcome. The fact that it happened to be something that actually interested her was just a bonus at this point.
