Ewan and Natalia
Ewan stared up at the building he'd managed to track the Hansons to and looked around for other photographers. Thankfully, there weren't any. He settled down in the hotel bar, from which he could watch the door. He noticed a girl coming down the stairs, creeping more like, and he straightened. It was the bonny lass he'd saved that day. Well nae, this was interesting. He got up and walked over to her, camera hanging around his neck. "'Allo, bonny. And what be ye doing today?" He smiled as he came up to her and she ducked her head, blushing prettily.
"Waiting. For Mouse."
"Don't I get a hello?" He asked in a mock sad tone. She glanced upwards into his face, and then reached up to kiss him. "Well, nice, not what I was expecting but verra nice."
"I like you. You speak softly and, I like your hair. It's so red, like a fire." She ran a hand through the soft red curls and Ewan smiled. "Pretty..."
"So, you staying with the Hansons?"
"Yes. They want to fix me cos I'm broken. I try to tell them that they won't be able to but they don;t believe me." Natalia sighed. "So broken and so bad."
"I couldna believe I'd hear a sweet lass like yerself say such things about herself." Ewan watched her violet eyes light up for a moment, then the fire die down. "Look, I got ta get going. I don't want to be caught hanging around the Hansons. Least not where they can see me. Sae. Mebbe we'll meet again?"
"I'd like that."
"I'll come to yer hotel on the 12th, and I'll find ye out the front. We'll slip away for a bit. I'll take yer out." He smiled at her again. "I'll see ye later, princess."
"Bye..." Natalia watched Ewan walk away, then he turned back.
"Let's keep this a secret between the twa of us, alrigh'?"
"Yes. They wouldn't understand. They'd want to get rid of you and break your lance."
"Aye, princess." He kissed her cheek again in farewell. "Be guid nae."
"Yes, my knight."
"I'll be your knight errant, and ye can be my lady. Ok?"
"Sounds perfect."
This time, Ewan did walk away. Natalia smiled at Mouse when she came down the stairs, eyes hinting at secrets and mysteries.
