Defeated, Edwin slowly got to his feet and sighed, "I understand, Miss Merida..." He said. Although he was definitely saddened that she did not wish to marry him. "Perhaps we could get to know each other better? Please, feel free to stay in the castle a while longer." Edwin was honestly a little shocked she'd refuse his marriage proposal... But that was what made her so different.

Most of the other women he'd ever dealt with would flock to his feet at any given chance, just to be noticed. But not Merida, no. She was a proper lady, indeed. "Please, stay..." He kissed her hand, not for any real reason. It seemed hard to please her, but that made Merida seem all the more appealing to King Edwin. He slowly started to slip away from Merida, however, not breaking eye contact.

It was a rather fun thought, chasing a woman and doing it the old fashioned way for a change!
