Amara was forcing herself to accept the presence of this new guard, however unwanted it might have been. It did not seem as if she would easily be rid of him. At some point during her little walk in the markets, she had stopped trying to ignore the knight and started observing him. From what she could tell, he seemed extremely competent at his duties, something Amara was not entirely happy about. While all Death Knights were skilled, there had been some she had been able to rid herself of by showing their faults. Sometimes it was easy. Her guard might be just a bit too slow, or focused on other things. When a guard was removed from her, it meant another period between bodyguards. It was a time when she could actually be alone, and therefore a time she considered worth trying to achieve.

However, so far Amara was not able to spot any hints of weaknesses or faults in this new bodyguard. Whenever Amara took a sharp turn, sped up her pace, or tried to lose herself in a crowd, he was always there, maintaining his distance, never faltering. He moved with the easy grace that said he was a skilled fighter. Perhaps that gained him the slightest bit of respect in Amara’s eyes, but respect was nothing. It did not change the fact that she wanted him gone. If anything, getting rid of this bodyguard might prove to be a rather interesting challenge, something Amara had not experienced in some time. If she could not be free of the Death Knight at the moment, he could at least serve to offer her some form of entertainment. Perhaps it would alleviate some of her boredom.

Amara had started the trek back towards the castle. She was done with the city. Having a Death Knight following her around had begun to attract a bit too much attention anyway. Without turning her head, she spoke, her voice just loud enough to reach the knight’s ears and no one else’s.

“Is there anything I might offer you that would convince you not to be so very watchful in your duties, Knight?” she asked.

She did not expect him to accept a bribe. In fact, she would be rather disappointed if he did. However, as she had given up on ignoring him, she instead decided to talk to him. If she wanted to learn anything about the knight, she would either have to see him fight or hear him speak, and the first did not seem likely to occur any time soon.
