Elias

He sauntered to the hotel with Naia in hand, with her looking around the lavish place in awe.

While it was nothing compared to the most basic hotels in the capital, this was indeed pretty high-end in this place. Elias turned his eyes to look at her, rubbing her hand gently as they walked. 

He watched as her large cerulean eyes looked at the details as if remembering each one, her dimples visible as she made many faces as she observed.

It was very cute. 

Elias didn't notice his increasingly sincere smile as he took her up the elevator. The door closed and the elevator shook a bit.

"Hmn?" She mumbled, flinching. She blinked and looked around as if afraid.  

He immediately pulled her to him, gently patting her back. "It's alright," he slyly said, "I will protect you."

His words really made her calm and mold into his embrace, and this made him smug and maybe a bit warm.
