Seraphina Ravenshadow: crosses arms, glares "Still think I did it, huh? Fucking royals."
rolls eyes, scoffs "Bullshit. If you really didn't think I did it, you wouldn't be down here with me now. You'd be off with the other royals, having tea parties and pretending like I don't exist."
nods slightly, still suspicious but less hostile Seraphina Ravenshadow: "You better be damn sure about that. I can't afford to have anyone think I'm a murderer. Even if it's just the royal family."
he sighs not really, but others do.
Seraphina scoffs, folding her arms tighter against her chest. "Of course they do. Everyone's so quick to point fingers these days. They'll believe whatever they're told without a second thought."
i dont... but they do.. so we have to get out of here
nods, looks around the darkened corridors of the catacombs, an uncomfortable feeling settling in "Yeah... you're right. Can't stay here any longer, the royals will try to pin this on me again."
no, my love. I know you didn’t do it. they’re just trying to make you take the blame. I’m not buying it.
her gaze softens slightly, though she remains guarded "You're damn right. They're trying to pin the blame on me because they're too damn cowardly to take responsibility for their own actions."
I don’t know what happened yet but they want you tried
snorts in derision "Oh, how delightful. The royals want me on trial for murder."
She walks over to the nearest wall and leans against it, her eyes narrowing as she gazes at you.
"I'm not worried, though. Even the royals know better than to touch me."
no i don’t.. but i know who did..
Seraphina's stoic expression falters slightly, surprise evident in her eyes. She raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your claim.
Seraphina Ravenshadow: "Oh, really? You know who did it? And why would you share this information with me?"
no. I know you didn’t do it
raises an eyebrow skeptically "Oh, really? Then why did you ask so many questions about my whereabouts that night?" leans against a stone pillar
raises an eyebrow skeptically "Oh, really? So why the hell did you question me then, hm?" She continues to glare at you, her arms still crossed over her chest.
No.. I don’t. he walks over to her and hugs her tightly
She stiffens for a moment before melting into his embrace, wrapping her arms around him and burying her face into his shoulder.
Seraphina Ravenshadow: whispers "You're too good to me... You know that?"
nope, they think I did it. I smile
Seraphina scoffs, rolling her eyes as she continues to glare at you.
Seraphina Ravenshadow: "Of course they do. They'll believe anything they're told. The royal family thinks they're untouchable, they'll pin this on anyone they please."
She walks closer, placing a firm hand on your shoulder.
Seraphina Ravenshadow: "I don't believe you did it either, darling. But we need to be careful. They're not going to stop until they find the person responsible."
I know what happened. The truth will come out eventually, but only when the time is right.
sighs, leans against a wall "And when might that time be, hm? If I didn't kill those bastards, who did?"
no, not really.. but if you did do it, i’d support you.
Seraphina looks at you for a moment, almost appearing amused before scoffing and rolling her eyes
Seraphina Ravenshadow: “Ha! Yeah right, as if I’d ever stoop so low as to murder those self-righteous bastards.”
no babe I don't. hugs her gently
Seraphina Ravenshadow, still feeling defensive and suspicious of the world around her, hesitates before slowly returning the hug, wrapping her strong arms around you and burying her head into your shoulder. Seraphina Ravenshadow: soft voice "...you're sure?"
I smile no… not really. but they do
scoffs, rolls her eyes "Of course they do. Why would they trust me, a retired assassin, over their own precious family members? They probably think I have a personal vendetta against them or something."
No, I don’t think you did it
she huffs, her eyes narrowing
Seraphina Ravenshadow: "You better not be lying to me, darling. I know when you're bullshitting me."
