As the girl slipped slowly back to consciousness, something was off. It took a moment for her to fully register what exactly seemed out of place, but it soon became obvious when she tried to shift her weight in order to roll over, the many layers of the long skirt of her gown limiting her movement.
Her gown? Why was she still in her clothes if she

Messed up bed, cute girl heading for the door... Must be a new arrival!
"Ah, hello there, miss!" He's got on his best dashing grin, hands clasped behind his back.

Unfortunately, this meant the sudden sound of someone close by caught her off guard. She made an effort turn around, but in her hurry had let one of her skirts fall to the floor. In typical fashion, for Amelia anyway, she stepped on it, caught her foot, and ended up sprawled on the floor, the mass of pink frilly material cushioning the tumble.
Not the best first impression to make.

He stepped up close, with slow, even steps, to show that he wasn't trying to be threatening, and squatted down a bit, holding out a hand. "Are you quite alright, milady?"
Reply
"Um...y-yes, I'm fine." she managed to say, taking the hand hesitantly. She had been through much worse after all.

Well, royalty or not, Eli did a bit of a half-bow. "I am Eli Carter, professional adventurer. Who might you be?"

"You're an adventurer? How wonderful! I've travelled a lot myself, it's always so interesting meeting others who do the same. You must have some very interesting stories Mr Eli." she beamed, clasping her hands before remembering she hadn't told him her name.
"Oh I'm sorry, I'm Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun, white priestess, warrior of justice and princess of the kingdom of Seyruun! Pleased to meet you." she smiled with a small curtsey.

He couldn't help a bit of a smirk as she talked up traveling and meeting others, though it faded some. "A pleasure to meet you as well, Miss Amelia, though I do wish it was under better circumstances." Or does he? She -is- pretty...
"I loathe to be the bearer of bad news, but I fear you are not in Seyruun any more, much as I am far from my homeland of Greyhawk."

"I see. I was afraid of that." she mumbled, trying to ignore the scent in the air that was making everything feel so fuzzy. "So have a lot of people been taken here like us Mr Eli?"

Quite frankly, he rather enjoyed it here - so much to explore, and as a man who follows his desires, the trade-off was quite worth it as well. However, the girl seemed rather distressed by the situation, so he's not going to go singing the praises of the hotel.

"Regardless of what this place is, it's safe to say it not run by good people." she fumed, hands on her hips. "As someone who upholds the will of Justice, I will not stand for this!"

A pause, then he remembers what she said she was. "...you're not a priestess of Heironeous by chance, are you?"
Reply
She would have continued too, not mind the touch to her shoulder, before turning to Eli with a confused look. "Heironeous? No, I'm afraid not. I merely train as a priestess in learning the art of white magic."

Eli can't help a bit of a grin. Her determination was cute. Reminded him of some Pelorites, or followers of Heironeous, but without the jerkiness that came with a lot of them. "Well, more power to you, but I would advise a change of wardrobe before you set off to do that, miss." He motions to the ground. "As you did take quite the tumble just turning around, and this," he says, pointing out her bare shoulders and cleavage. "This is all too inviting to people in a place like this, and not all of them are nice people. And not all of them have decency about them to be polite when their minds are muddled by the stuff in the air."

"Ah, well I don't usually wear this when I'm out helping people, but I was at home before I ended up here and, well, I had to wear the 'proper' attire." she sighed. Stupid expectations of a princess...
On hearing what else Eli said, her mouth formed an 'o' shape as her cheeks burned, and suddenly the floor seemed very interesting to look at.
"A-And where would I find new clothes Mr Eli?" she asked.
[ooc: Lol, tis fine~]

Then he's stroking his chin, pondering the question. "Well, the lady I met when I arrived mentioned that she had been finding clothes around the hotel. Lucky you, I had the misfortune of arriving in the nude, and locked in stocks. Not my best moment, that." And that woman was also a princess - what's with his luck?
The blush was rather cute on her, really, but he couldn't stand to see a pretty lady upset, so he patted her back. "Now now, chin up, milady - I'll help you find something suitable."

Turning her blue eyes to look at him properly, she nodded in reply. "Thank you, I really appreciate that." she smiled back at him.
