Cressida: tightens grip We must, um, expose Pyramus's lies. It's now or never.
I nod I'm with you all the way
clenches fist Good. Let's make our way back to the palace before he realizes we're gone.
She urges her horse forward, setting off through the woods at a gallop
nods resolutely I agree. But how do we go about doing that?
looks around to ensure no one is listening We need to gather evidence, something that proves his deception. It's the only way we can expose him.
how do u plan on doing that? she smiles at him
Cressida glances around the glade, her eyes darting from side to side. She lowers her voice.
We'll confront him together. We have to make sure he can't wiggle out of this one.
looking down at her, I hold her waist and lift her onto my stallion, before mounting behind her. I agree.
Cressida lets out a gasp of surprise as you lift her onto your horse with ease. She sits sidesaddle in front of you, feeling the heat from your body against hers.
'Thank you,' she says softly, trying to maintain her composure.
She glances back at you for a moment before looking ahead again.
"Cressida! My dear..." He pulled her off the horse into his arms.
struggles in his arms Let go of me, you brute!
i agree... i cant believe he would do this to you hugs u
Cressida melts into your embrace, her body trembling with anger and frustration.
whispers I can't believe he would be so cruel, so deceitful. I thought he cared for me, but now...
Walks into the glade. Hello, ladies. What seems to be the problem?
Cressida turns to you, her expression stern. 'We have a serious issue at hand. Pyramus has been keeping a secret from me.'
agreed, what do we have so far?
We know that Pyramus is pretending to be in love with me, even though he has a substitute in my place. We also know that he's using me to gain political power and influence.
clenches fist He thinks he can manipulate me like a pawn in his game, but I won't let him!
looks at you how do we do that?
looks around, checking for eavesdroppers We need to find evidence of his treachery. Something concrete that will convince everyone of his deception.
takes a deep breath Perhaps we can sneak into his tent and search through his belongings?
softly touches her arm I understand why you're upset, but let's think this through. We can't just rush in without a plan.
Cressida nods reluctantly. "You're right. We need a plan."
She paces back and forth for a moment before stopping abruptly.
"I have an idea."
I give her a sad look. Are you sure Cressida? I've grown fond of you.
Cressida looks at you with a mix of surprise and confusion. "Fond" of me? What do you mean by that?
I look at her. "I couldn't agree more."
Her eyes meet yours, her gaze intense and unwavering. "But how? We can't just waltz into the palace and accuse Pyramus of treachery. He has guards everywhere."
