Amar looked back between them both. She was quite confused, at young age her mother had taught her that as a women she was suppose to be patient, and not to express her feelings, but without saying anything wait for the man to declare his feelings. "I love Navar, very much." She said slowly, smiling at Navar, but then towards Avalon. "But it is not for me to say whether we will marry. As a child I was brought with the knowledge that a man must ask for a lady's hand in marriage. I would never want pressure Navar into marrying me by announcing whether or not we will marry. Of course I want us to marry, but I must let Navar decide for himself." Knowing that how uncomfortable this was felt for her she wanted to make herself clear that she wasn't pressuring him. "Know that I will love you either way." She reminded him, lovingly.
