(Ah the good old Stockholm syndrome romance. Lol)
"Arrest? A week?! But I don't have any of my clothes... and my bitch of an aunt will probably blow a gasket if I don't come back for more than a few days. Why are you doing this anyway?" She said hoping he would let go of last night's incident.

"We've taken care of your aunt and have bought you enough clothes you should be happy, if you need anything specifically tell Siena and she will take care of it. As for your last question, if I must worry about you killing yourself then I will never take my eyes off of you."
He walks away after that, leaving Siena by her side "signorina?" She digs through the big dresser and pulls out a long, black dress with rose patterns trailing a line down the side "How is this? I did not know what clothes you liked, but we can shop for other things today"

"You can just call me Mari, you don't have to be so formal." She sighed as she looked at the dress. "It's fine, I'll wear that today." She said as she took the dress gently and changed into it. "Is he always like this she asked figuring she was just another charity case.

"No. He's never found interest in a person like this before. Not even Ravina." She said and she helped Mari out of bed "traditionally, I would help you dress signori- I mean, Mari, but perhaps you'd rather do it yourself?"

'Ravina? That must be the girl he was originally arranged to marry...' she thought to herself. "Ya I can dress myself thank you. I'm sorry you got assigned to me, I'm sure you were busy with other things before this anyways. " she said. "Your name was Siena right?" She smacked trying to make friends with the girl and hope she wasn't offending her by rejecting her help.

"It is my pleasure to assist you sign-Mari, yes I am Siena" she bowed her head slightly again, "I have not been used as a hand maid in a while and I missed it for some time" she said with a slight smile

"Well I'll try and make use of you then. I'm just more used to doing everything myself. If it makes you feel better, I'll let you do my hair or something." She said trying to imagine what her usual duties are.
(She might end up being Maris first girl friend. Well friend in general. Lol)

'Must have been ravinas maid before this.' She thought to herself as she put on her dress.

(I know you're probably at work but I'm adding on to my post. I found the character in the dress you described. It's great.) Mari stepped in front of the mirror to look at the dress. "How about I wear my hair down today?" She suggested  |

(Oh wow I totally made that up on the fly, that's gorgeous)
"I'll do a type of style I've been wanting to try for a while!" She says, motioning for her to sit "if you become a Paradiso you'll wear your hair down always to show its length, hair is symbolic to the ones under Morreti's domain" she explained quietly

"Alright I trust your judgement. So he's a pretty big deal over there isn't he..." Mari said keeping her eyes on her feet.

"Not really aside from his deal with Ravina, she's the big one. He's a fourth son so really he doesn't hold any power himself..."

"But there's still a lot expected out of him... isn't keeping me around just going to bring trouble?..." Maris words were filled with sympathy and sorrow. She still didn't understand why he cared, how he was even there to catch her, or why he didn't talk to her for weeks.

She though for a moment while she brushed through Mari's hair "it will probably be worse for you than Senor Luca, because you would be the one they'd go after... Signora Paradiso will not be pleased at him choosing a different mate than his betrothed..."

Siena pauses for a slight moment and quietly responds "... She is widowed"

"Oh.... I was told it wouldn't work out because she loved another. I didn't know she was widowed..." Mari said a little disappointed. "So... what am I supposed to do while under tether?" She forced a smile and a slight laugh trying to lighten the mood and change the subject.

Siena sighed at that, but then took her up on the subject change "we can go shopping, or really anything you'd like Miss"

"Shopping huh? I could use a trip to the book store..." she said trying to think of what to do to fill her time. Then she wanted to fully explore the mansion since she would be there for a week.

"Sure, we can do that, I'll have Matteo get the car ready once I'm finished" she had been twisting and puller her hair around to form it how she wanted and eventually ended up with:  |

"Well I look like royalty now." Mari said in amazement. She wasn't used to hanging around girls, or anyone her age. Everyone was too boring and she never really made friends

She smiled politely at that "I'll go find Matteo now" she turned and left with her footsteps making no sound at all

"None of this makes sense..." she muttered once she was alone. She peaked out into the hallway to see it's emptiness and walked out and slowly walked down the hall looking for something to explore or anything.

There was a few doors along the way, the first room she looked in had really nothing but boxes of pictures set along the side of it, presumably moved from the dresser or her room from last week

Mari didn't see anything to interesting and decided to wait until later tonight to look through it. She walked down to the next room, which was almost empty except for a lone piano. This peaked her interest a bit. She walked in leaving the door crack. She took a seat on the bench and uncovered the dusty keys. The piano obviously hadn't been touch in years. Mari softly played the keys to see if they worked before she started to play. She was no Beethoven, but she wasn't bad either as her fingers danced along the keys

While she was lost in the notes, she didn't notice a presence watching from the doorway for some time, his red eyes softened as she played

Mari was so lost in playing that she even began singing. Something she hasn't even done in years.

He continued listening while he leaned gently on the door sill, patient, until she was done "you don't have to stay here, I just thought you would like it better than your home" he said, "Siena is also still yours if you want her"

Mari was caught off guard by Lucas voice. "Oh... I-I'm sorry, h-how long were you there?.." she asked as she turned a bright red. "I didn't mean to come here without permission.. I just saw the piano.... and it's been awhile since I played."
