you drew memories in my mind I could never erase
painted colors in my heart I could never replace
Apparently a suitor is a bad thing, but Adam seems ready to turn away from being morose, and the girl is happy to try to steer the tone into lighter waters. "Man," Amalia comments absently, "Marriage is weird in other worlds." Forced, coerced, for politics and full of assassination... the baker cannot comprehend. She turns to Adam with a bemused expression, raising an eyebrow as he explains his failures at social graces. "Why would you possibly need ten spoons? One for each finger?" As though to illustrate this idea the girl wiggles her own fingers in front of her face, long talons sprouting from them as she pretends they are unweildly utensils.
Yup, friends, it's official- your girl is high as a kite.
She giggles slightly as Adam kisses her forehead, shaking one taloned finger playfully at her friend. "Careful now- I'm a taken woman. Y'don't want my boyfriend beating you up." Then she giggles again, because the idea of Deimos growing jealous and trying to take out Adam is incredibly laughable to her.
Obligingly the girl lies down, staring up at the ceiling, still pressed lightly next to him. For a moment she is silent, focused on the stars which do indeed seem to twirl and glow. "I wonder where I'll be in ten years," she muses, wiggling still taloned fingers above her face. "I'll be old- wait, how old are you?"
