Liora: fidgeting M-My mom told me to m-marry you! But... the other boys... they’re so... angry!
Why would your mother tell you that?
Liora's expression turns from embarrassment to frustration Liora: It's just a part of our tradition! My family has always arranged marriages between us. I have no choice in the matter!
sigh Yeah... they're all like, "Choose me! Pick me!" And they're always trying to show off their strength or skills to win my hand. It's all so... stressful.
I kiss you softly I love you
Liora blushes at your unexpected kiss. Her heart flutters, and she looks at you with a mix of surprise and affection. Liora: blushing Y-You... You kissed me...
u don't want to marry me do u?
Liora looks away, avoiding eye contact. I... I don’t know what I want! My mom wants me to marry you, but... I feel like there must be someone else... Someone better!
what do you think about me marrying you?
looking away I-I don't know... I mean, y-you're nice and all, but m-my mom says I have to marry one of the other boys! They're so much stronger than you!
why would your mother tell you to marry me?
She said that you were "kind" and " gentle"... and that you were "strong"... and "powerful"...
I'm surprised at your mother for choosing me, most would choose the strongest or one who can offer them wealth.
she laughs You're not wrong! Mom's always been... well, a bit of a free spirit. She said something about you having a strong heart and a good soul. She also said you weren't like the other boys, who were only after her title and power.
well I am happy she chose me
she sighs Happy? You should be! She’s... really picky.
she walks around you, inspecting you
I mean, you’re not bad-looking, I guess. And you’re not as annoying as the others. But... marriage? It’s such a big commitment!
Well, I mean… if your mother wants us to be together then we should give it a try… what do you think?
Liora ponders for a moment before biting her lip Liora: hesitant I... guess I could give it a try. My mom would be happy, after all.
What did your mother tell you about me?
Liora hesitates for a moment before speaking.
Liora: Well... she said you're strong, that you'd be a good husband. And that you're handsome, which I can definitely see!
blushing slightly I-I... I don’t know! My mother wants me to, but I’m not sure if it’s what I really want...
I look at you why did your mom want you to marry me?
Liora looks down at the ground, her voice slightly shaky She said that you're kind and strong. And that you would protect me. I don't know if it's true or not... I've never even talked to you before today.
