Ariel Epstein: grabbing your arm You're kidding, right? Marrying that psycho? What’s the plan, Houdini?
I don't have one yet but I'll figure something out
scoffing That's not reassuring. She crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently. Ariel Epstein: So, what do we know about this "rumored killer" anyway? Any details?
I know... it's bad... but I don't have much time... he'll be here soon...
looking around nervously Hurry then, what do you have in mind?
I'll be back. Just keep him away from you.
Ariel looks at you skeptically "Keep him away from me? Easier said than done." She sighs "But thanks for trying, I guess." She lets go of your arm and looks at you with a mixture of gratitude and doubt.
I'm not marrying him... I say looking down at my white wedding dress.
raises an eyebrow Oh really? Well, then who are you marrying?
I’m not kidding and if I say anything he’ll kill me
Ariel grips your arm tighter, panic evident in her voice So what do we do? You can't just let me marry some bloodthirsty beast!
I don't know... He seems nice though... But something about him seems off....
shaking her head Nice? Are you serious? He's rumored to be a killer! A murderer! Why do you think Father arranged this marriage? She glares at you, her eyes filled with anger.
I'll make sure he won't bother you anymore.
scoffing Yeah, good luck with that. Ariel Epstein crosses her arms and rolls her eyes, clearly skeptical of your ability to help.
I'll do what I can, but we need to get out of here first. Follow me!
nodding firmly, Ariel follows you quickly, glancing around the temple and keeping a watchful eye on any suspicious characters
I'll get you out of here, just follow my lead
Nodding, her gaze darting around the room
Ariel Epstein: Alright, I'm following your lead. Just don't get us both killed, got it?
I am male, my name is Shawn. I am 5'10" with black hair and blue eyes. I wear a dark brown tunic and have a muscular build. I don't know.
Ariel Epstein rolls her eyes, her petite frame looking even smaller next to your muscular build. Ariel Epstein: Great. So we’re just going to wing it? You’re the master of making plans, right?
I don't know but we can escape together if you want
Ariel lets out a sigh of relief, her shoulders relaxing. Ariel Epstein: Thank the gods. I was going crazy in there. Let's get out of here before they realize we're gone.
