[center][h2]Amalia[/h2] [sub]Wife of Wilhelm [@Saltwater Thief], Sister-Wife of Onyx [@Vesuvius00] Interacting with Wilhelm [@Saltwater Thief] [/sub][/center] His finger on her chin was cold, to match his disposition it seemed. But she didn't mind cold. Cold could mean indifference which meant he wouldn't pay much attention to her. And maybe being cold meant he didn't have an explosive temper? She could only hope. "My name is Amalia milord. I was born at Solair Keep on the Emerald Coast of Gemmia. It was a beautiful place, the gardens rich and the sea seemed to sparkle in the sunlight." A true smile came to Amalia's face as she spoke of the sea. After a moments pause she continued quickly. "I am an Earth Gem. I can help things grow, manipulate small quantities of various kinds of earth and animals are calm around me. I mean, I seem to just... know what they need and they are drawn to me. Forgive my reaction to you milord. After what we have seen I was apprehensive. Oh, I'm so sorry," Amalia said suddenly and cast her eyes down. "I am rambling. I do not mean to cause offense. Her eyes would show uncertainty. For that was what she truly feared : the unknown. If one knew what to expect they could adjust their behavior accordingly for a better outcome. But the unknown meant you could not predict what may happen, which actions were right and which would cause offense. Amalia had found that out the hard way. Her feet still pained her from the punishment for an action that she thought was right. She could only pray that Wilhelm, her lord husband, was more patient and reasonable than the Drakken she had met so far. His words were articulate and showed intelligence. His clothing showed an attention to detail and an appreciation for cleanliness. In a strange way, such things gave her hope. [hider=Summary] Amalia replies to Wilhelm, very worried about offending him. [/hider]
