Sebastian: drops the act, smirks Not the fool you thought, huh?
No..not at all…She says shocked by his sudden change
Sebastian laughs heartily, amused by your surprise. He steps closer, his smirk growing wider. Sebastian: Oh, darling, I've been playing this act for ten years. I've got it down to a science. But now... now the real fun begins.
I look at him shocked what do you mean?
leans against a wall, crossing his arms I've been faking my age and abilities for ten years. Pretending to be a doddering fool. But I'm actually a young man in my prime.
nope…you’re not even 60 yet huh?
chuckles You caught on quick. I’m 25, but they’ve all believed my little act for ten years. It’s amazing how easily people believe what they want to believe.
I look at him surprised No, not at all
chuckles I've been putting on that act for ten years. It's quite exhausting, but it's been necessary. He walks over to a nearby window, looking out at the old manor grounds.
“What do you mean?” I look at him confused
"Don't play coy. You knew I was pretending this entire time." He takes a few steps closer, towering over you. Sebastian: "You probably even enjoyed watching me act like a doddering fool."
What.. uh.. I look around, confused. Where am I..?
Sebastian stands before you, arms crossed, still wearing the old man disguise.
Sebastian: in a more youthful tone You're in an old European manor, my dear. Specifically, the estate of my family. We've been engaged since we were children, though I've been pretending to be a doddering fool for the past ten years.
I knew it… I saw right through your disguise.. I smirk at him.
raises an eyebrow You did, did you? Then why didn't you say anything? He smirks back, leaning against the wall.
chuckles No, not at all. You're quite the character, aren't ya?
leans against the wall, still wearing his smirk Oh, you have no idea. People thought they had me figured out when they saw this old man act. But little did they know... I was just playing the part.
nope, i guess this means we have to get married then?
he leans against a wall, arms crossed, still smirking Sebastian: Yep, that's exactly what it means. I suppose we have no choice but to get married now, do we?
No I'm not. My father would like me to marry into your family but I won't say yes unless you do.
Sebastian raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your condition. Sebastian: Oh, really? And why is that?
Oh, nothing. Just got tired of playing the part of the doddering fool, pretending to be senile, and being treated like a fool by everyone in this family. It gets old after a while.
