Pharaoh's First Love

80

Calion couldn’t help but grin a white smile and chuckled. “No funny business eh? You’re quite the negotiator, which makes sense you have a pharaoh’s blood in your veins.” He stood up and chuckled, he saw no reason as to go into detail about the nature of his relationship with Shelyn. Undoubtedly word would get out eventually, or at the very least when they would have to explain Shelyn’s pregnancy, if she did get pregnant, but he didn’t see any reason to upset Jin who was just an innocent boy.
Amarie took the paper graciously and shook her head. “Not to worry my lady, Jin can help me. Please don’t fret you have plenty of other things to worry about. I look forward to seeing you both when you return.” She offered an innocent smile and bowed her head each to Calion and Shelyn before taking Jin’s hand. “Mind helping me young master? I’m afraid there are some things that only you can do.” She said, trying to make it sound like Jin had an important job.
Calion himself walked over to Shelyn, his hand lightly brushing against her own. “Perhaps I’ll teach you our language if you’d like, or you could tutor that girl you’ve taken a shining to. In any case, we should get ready, yes?” He asked, not knowing Shelyn was stressing over her brother’s items. Of course, all it would take was an order from him and she’d get everything she’d want.
Jin nodded. Eager to manage his important task. And followed off to help.

Shelyn nodded. "I will have to find a book I suppose...I can teach myself..." she replied. Not that she was trying to be mean, but it wasn’t exactly his "job". And asking it of him just made her fear she wouldn’t learn anything at all since he would probably be more focused on touching her. She kneeled down and dug out the other white dress she had. The trunk becoming less full at this point with the removal of this dress. Though it wasn’t on her mind that she was running out of clothes.
She slipped off her sweater and then pulled off the white dress. Then looked at Calion. "I am going to wash up a bit...I will be ready soon..." she replied before starting to walking off. Still she hadn’t mentioned seeing the jewelry. Nor had she made any loving move towards him like she had earlier.
At this moment, however, many of onlookers were arriving to the funeral sight.  Many were men dressed in fine clothes yet strange in looks. No doubt they were probably just friends of the family or Helm.
“If you’d like, although I don’t mind us having some time to study in the mornings or at night while in bed.” He mentioned casually as she walked away from him, avoiding his touch although he chalked it up to her having a lot on her mind. He wasn’t about to question her attitude when she was dealing with so much, and so, even while he very much enjoyed the sight of her stripping and furthermore how that white dress hung on her body he did leave her be to wash up on her own. Any other day he’d be hanging on her, but for this moment she deserved the peace to get ready to honor her brother.
Calion took the time to carefully collect the jewelry he had purchased for her and set it all mostly within a drawer for later as he took a seat on the bed, the gold necklace in his lap as he’d like for her to wear it when she came out and was finished.
