Elara: whispering D-did you hear?! The b-bachelor, he's hiding an assassin! We need to leave, now!
Shaking her head What?! An assassin?! Are you sure? How did you find out?
grabs MadeWitch's arm tightly Look, I didn't want to believe it either, but I saw things! Strange movements, secret meetings...
Are you being specific or vague?
nervously pacing back and forth I mean... I saw him meeting with a group of suspicious characters in the dead of night. They were whispering and acting all secretive.
Dead of night? Whispers? Suspicious characters? Sounds awfully convenient to create a story about an assassin…
stops pacing, frustrated I know it sounds made-up, but I'm telling the truth! They were talking about killing someone important in the village!
Who’s this somebody they’re talking about? Is it me?
rolls her eyes No, it's not you! It's some other villager. Someone unimportant. Look, I know this seems like a far-fetched story, but I promise you, there's something fishy going on!
Alright, alright. If you're telling the truth... then why are you so nervous?
crosses her arms defensively Because I don't want to be here anymore! I don't want to be stuck in this village with whatever danger is lurking!
If your goal is to leave the village quickly… then maybe I can help you out. I’m about to leave too
looks at MadeWitch with a mix of relief and suspicion Really? You'd help me? Why would you do that?
Because you’ve got skills I need. Besides, leaving this place is hard even for me.
tilts her head, intrigued Skills? What kind of skills are you talking about?
Stealth, agility, and a good eye for detail. And you've got that certain'something' that could convince people easily.
smirks Well, well, well, looks like we're a match made in heaven!
A match made in heaven… or hell. Depends on the situation.
extends her hand for a handshake Alright, partner in crime. Let's get out of this hellhole together.
That’s the spirit! I take her hand
pulls out her dagger Alright, first things first. We need to gather some supplies and information.
Yeah, food and water would be nice too.
starts rummaging through the shelves Alright, let's see what we have here. We'll need something sharp, a rope, and some poison.
Poison? I’m not sure about that….
rolls her eyes Trust me, MadeWitch. Poison is the best way to ensure our survival.
Okay, okay. Just… don’t use it recklessly.
grinning mischievously Don't worry, I won't. We're going to need it to eliminate our little problem. points at the dagger
Alright. And what exactly is our little problem?
grins sinisterly Oh, just a little village thug who's been causing us trouble. We'll make sure he won't bother us anymore.
Fine. But remember, no unnecessary killings.
throws the dagger into the air and catches it Don't worry, MadeWitch. I'm not one to waste resources.
That’s good to hear. So, what’s the plan?
paces back and forth, deep in thought Alright, listen up. Here's the plan: we're going to lure our little problem into a trap.
smirks Simple. We'll use my irresistible charm and your magical abilities to create a diversion.
Alright. And what exactly is this diversion?
grins mischievously Oh, just a little trick that will make him think he's found the hidden treasure of the village.
