♔ The Selection ♔ discussion

Dylan walks in

Ari walks in too. She see's the prince and smiles.

“Hello there lady Ari” he says seeing her

Ari curtsies.
"Your highness"

“How are you liking the palace?” He asks with a kind smile

"Quite well. Haven't been a lot of places but..." she told him walking a bit closer.

“But?” He asks his eyes kind

She shrugs.
"I don't know. I only know the guard in the gardens, no one else."

“Well this is the theater” he says. He smiles at her

Ari smiled.
“Very nice”

“So tell me about yourself” he says

Ari sighs.
"Umm, i'm a 5. My mother passed a few years ago. I really like to cook."

He smiles. “Well you are a 3 now” he says. “If you ever want to leave just tell me. Don’t be afraid to ask” he says

She nods.

He smiles

Ari looks around

“So why are you here? Like why did you join the selection?” He asks

"The oppertunity and the money." she admits.

He nods “Thank you for telling me” he says

She nods.
“Are you gonna send me home?”

“Not if you don’t want to” he says kindly

Ari bit her lip and nodded.
“And hypothetically I fell in love with someone else.... would you care? Or is there another girl you like more?”

He smiles his mind automatically going to Rose before he shakes his head. “You should all have a chance, I haven’t even gotten to know you all yet and if you did fall in love with someone else please tell me. I would send you home so that you wouldn’t have to deal with this or try to drag me along when loving someone else” he says

Ari nods.
“Don’t answer if you don’t want to. But have you met someone that makes your heart flutter, makes you smile, happy “

He smiles sadly. “Rose makes me happy but I can’t be with her because I still have to meet the other selected girls” he says

Ari nods.
"I understand. And just letting you know. You can talk to me about the other girls. I won't mind who you choose if it isn't me." she tells him.

He smiles. “It would be nice to have someone to talk to. I talk to Rose buts it’s not the same as having a friend” he says

Ari nods.
"It is really nice meeting you"

“You too Lady Ari” he says with a smile

Ari smiles and curtsies again before starting to leave back to the garden.

He watches her go smiling and then sighs. “I have to get back to meeting the other selected girls” he thinks standing up and leaving

Ben leads Ruby here.

Ruby looks around and smiles, "Ben, why are we here?"

He shrugs, "Only place I could think of...and look no one's here." He points out

Ruby nods, "What are you thinking?"

Ben smiles, "I was thinking that we could watch a movie together."

Ruby nods, "Sounds romantic"

He smiles and leads her to a table

Ruby sits down

He sits next to her. The movie starts and the lights dim

Ruby holds his hand

Ben smiles at their hands and turns to look at her

Ruby looked at him and smiled

Ben smiles back and kisses her

Ruby kissed him back

skye?//

((Sorry I had to get tested for covid))

He wraps his arms around her

Ruby smiles and snuggles up to him

Oof does your nose hurt?//
