Flinching slightly, Naminé frowned at the other’s response. She knew it’d take a while for Riku to calm down around her, but she hated being treated like she was above him.
“I wish that you would…treat me lik a normal girl. Not like a princess, or your boss, just…a girl. Okay? Please?”
The tiny blonde was practically pleading now, staring at Riku as she waited for a response. She hoped this servant wouldn’t get scared of her and leave like the others had done. So many had hated the way that she wanted a friend, and had left, saying that friendship isn’t what they’d signed up for. Of course, from what she’d heard, Riku couldn’t leave, he’d been sold to them… but she didn’t want him uncomfortable. Didn’t want him unhappy…
“If…if you think you can’t do it, tell me, I’ll… I won’t hold it against you, okay?”
Riku swallowed heavily, shifting in his seat beside her. Clearly did he appear uncomfortable, running his fingers through his hair. The values that had been embedded in his mind since he was but a babe were causing him to stutter and suffer clearly, now.
What was he to do? This was against everything he was taught, but the lady requested otherwise...he could not refuse.
Sheepishly did he smile, and allowed his shoulders to loosen, licking his dry lips briefly. A weak little smile, and he nodded, folding his hands in his lap.
“If that’s what you want.”
Not that there wasn’t much of a choice, but the idea sounded...strangely lovely. It was quaint. Maybe it would allow him safety while he was here. Despite being forced here, why not be comfortable while here?
“I’ll be more than happy to.” he rested his hand upon his chest and dipped his head in a slight bow.
