"I'm sorry sir" Amelia said, she always found it hard to say no to someone.

The man nodded. "Then how about this one?" he asked, holding up an even prettier red and gold necklace. "This would definitely look stunning on you."

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 12:07 am

"I couldn't...I have nothing to pay for it..." Amelia explained.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 12:15 am

"Hm," the man replied with a sigh. "That's too bad then."

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 12:20 am

"Sorry...I would if I did have any.." Amelia reasurred him and went on to a clothing stall.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 12:25 am

She was offered different things from just about every stall she went to.

Amelia sighed and went to where a bunch of children were playing, smiling as she watched them.

An elderly woman smiled as she walked up beside her. "I wish I had their energy still," she chuckled.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 1:15 am

"Yes, a delight to watch as well" Amelia said with a bright smile.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 2:32 pm

The woman chuckled. "Indeed," she replied. "Do you have any children of your own?" she asked.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 4:24 pm

"Oh no, not yet" Amelia said with a soft smile.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 5:31 pm

"Ah, I see. Do you intend to have children?" the woman asked softly.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 6:53 pm

"Eventually, anyone would hope to have children. They brighten our lives" Amelia said, looking back at the children.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:01 pm

The woman chuckled and nodded. "Do you have a husband?" she asked. "Do you have anyone in mind for a husband?" she asked.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:02 pm

"No...to both...I have a number of suitors but none do I really like.."Amelia said softly.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:17 pm

"Ah, I see," the woman replied. "That's a shame. I do wish you well," she said and bowed her head in respect before waddling off.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:22 pm

"Thank you and good day" Amelia said, standing to walk around a bit more.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:29 pm

A while later, the maid that had shown her around the palace walked up to her. "There you are," she said to her. "I was looking everywhere for you." She paused. "How do you like the marketplace?"

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:43 pm

"It's really busy but there's some beautiful things" Amelia said with a smile.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:53 pm

The maid nodded, glancing around. "The Pharaoh has been worried about you," she said softly.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 7:58 pm

"There's no reason to be worried about me, you told him...that I had a cold didn't you..." Amelia said with a sigh.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 8:05 pm

The woman sighed. "He is greatly attracted to you, Amelia," she said to her. "Of course I told him."

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 8:17 pm

"You shouldn't have...it's just a cold..nothing more" Amelia said, rubbing her eyes.

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 8:19 pm

"I apologize," the woman sighed. "But he is concerned for you, not only for your health, but for the fact that you do not come from here and all of this is so new for you."

Subject: Re: Oasis of Time Sat Sep 18, 2010 8:23 pm

"Well perhaps he should be more worried about his to be bride than me" Amelia said, feeling a bit light headed.
