@Kitty Alexander smiled at her and decided not to comment on the phrasing, seeing as it would most likely only succeed in embarrassing her further. "Alright then, please follow me." he said before turning and heading north, leading her to the manor. Once they arrived, the two bodyguards opened the doors and held them open. Alexander still didn't know why they did that
every time, but he didn't complain, not vocally at least. He led Lapis to the garden, where the maids always talked about seeing Saya. Sure enough, when he opened the two large wooden doors the girl was standing up in a bed of flowers looking in their direction.
Saya had gotten up and was preparing to leave when she saw the doors open. Her eyes widened a bit seeing it was her brother who had opened the door, and he had someone with him. His gaze on her was steely and cold, but he didn't notice this. She locked eyes with him for a moment before averting her gaze. Her expression once again became neutral. "Sorry." she said before attempting to walk past them. "Stop." Alexander said, causing her to stop and look at him. "We came to talk to you." he said. Saya became a bit confused at this. He never wanted to talk to her, not since a while ago at least.
She stayed quiet and stepped back a bit, waiting for him to go on. She glanced at the woman next to him, and she remembered seeing her face from somewhere.
"Someone has put a bounty on you, so until further notice, you will be under the watch of Miss Lapis here." Alexander said. Saya blinked and then thought about it for a moment, looking straight at them. She nodded before saying, "Pass." She didn't want to cause any trouble for this person.
"Saya," Alexander began, frowning at her. It was almost as though he was upset. "I'm not giving you a choice." he said to her.
"Alright." Saya said and nodded. Alexander returned the nod before smiling at his sister. It seemed like it was a bit forced. "You two should get to know each other. I have some business to take care of." he said before going inside. Saya relaxed a bit. Although it didn't appear that way, she was quite nervous during that encounter. She looked at Lapis and smiled a little before saying, "I'm Saya." Her voice has always sounded hushed, but it was audible enough to be heard from the distance they were standing at.
