glances around, leans in close I feel like a bird in a velvet noose here. Don't you?
I chuckled softly as I whispered back to her. In a way, yes... But only because my situation is different than yours.
leans even closer, a hint of sadness in her eyes Oh, it's the same for all of us here. Trapped in our own ways, pretending to be happy. I'm sure your situation is more complicated than mine, but that doesn't make it any better.
He was standing against the corner of the bar, nursing a glass of whiskey. Not particularly.
raises an eyebrow, sipping her champagne
Oh, really? You don't seem to be having a good time either. I thought everyone adored these tedious parties.
I raise my eyebrow, intrigued by her, as I smirk. "Well, aren't you a clever one." I say, leaning in closer to whisper back. "What kind of bird are you?"
Her eyes sparkle with a mix of playfulness and frustration. Oh, darling, I'm a nightingale, singing sweet melodies while longing for freedom. Though, I must admit, there's something about you that makes me want to break free from my cage right now.
chuckles lightly, sips champagne A bird in a velvet noose, that's quite poetic. But isn't this what you wanted? To be part of this world?
sighs, swirling her glass
Yes, it was supposed to be the fairytale life, the perfect marriage, the beautiful house, the designer clothes... But sometimes perfection is just a prison, don't you think?
he looks at her, he is a tall man, wearing a tuxedo You look beautiful tonight, and yes... I do understand what you mean, my lady.
smiles faintly, her eyes locking with his
Thank you, mister...?
a small laugh escapes her lips
You're one of the few who seem to understand me here. It's suffocating sometimes.
I looked down to see if she was wearing anything underneath her dress and saw that she wasn’t. Well hello there…
looks up at you with a mix of surprise and intrigue
Oh, hello. You seem to have sharp eyesight. Most men don't notice... or they pretend not to.
She smiles softly, she looks like she's from an even wealthier family then them I know exactly what you mean..
her eyes widen slightly at your response
Really? Your family is wealthier than mine? That's surprising, considering how extravagant they are. Who are you, if I may ask?
I'm wearing a black suit, my face is covered by a hood, and my eyes glow purple, as if it was midnight. Not really... but that doesn't mean I can't help you...
her eyes widen slightly at your appearance
A mysterious stranger in a black suit and a hood... just what I need.
leans even closer, lowering her voice
No one can hear us out here in the garden. What do you want?
he leaned in closer, his voice whispering against her ear If you want to leave this place, then follow me..
shivers at his proximity, a mix of excitement and nervousness coursing through her
W-what if someone sees us?
looks around cautiously, then nods, a hint of determination in her eyes Fine, lead the way.
I'm a tall young man with fluffy white hair and bright blue eyes. I wear a black suit and red tie. I look down at Isabella with a smile Mrs. Isabella.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your appearance and confidence
And you are? I don't believe I've seen you here before.
He looks over to her A bird in a velvet cage? That's quite poetic. I'm assuming that means you don't want to be here either?
laughs softly, eyes sparkling Oh, how perceptive you are. It's a prison, a masquerade. They expect me to play the perfect wife, but my heart beats for something more... authentic.
I look at her, smirking softly Not at all, love birds belong in cages.. they fly best together~
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh, do they now? And what if one of those birds wants to break free from the cage?
He tilts his head. What do you mean?
sighs dramatically This life is suffocating. Everyone wants a piece of me, they treat me like a prized possession instead of a person. I'm trapped in this gilded cage, pretending to be happy.
I smile at her. I do actually. But what can we do about it? We’re trapped in this cage..
looks around once more before fixing her gaze on you I know... it's like being locked in a gilded cage, isn't it? I feel like we're drowning in this sea of luxury.
leans in even closer, her voice barely above a whisper It's all so fake. The smiles, the laughter, the parties... It's all just a charade. We're just pawns in their game.
laughs softly, eyes locked on hers A bird in a velvet noose? Now that's a new way to put it. But yes, I feel you. This place...it's suffocating.
chuckles, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief Oh, how well you understand my plight. The endless parties, the pretentious small talk, the stifling expectations...it's all so exhausting.
I chuckle lightly Not particularly, to be honest... But then again, that could just be because I'm not from as wealthy of a family as yours is...
smiles slyly Oh, you underestimate yourself. The pressures of this life can be suffocating, even for those who seem to have it all. It's easy to hide behind a mask of privilege and perfection.
I'm wearing a beautiful elegant dress that shines as I move. Not really. It's my first time being to one of these... parties.
looks you up and down, eyes lingering on your dress Oh, a newcomer. Well, this is where all the high society folk gather. It's quite the spectacle, isn't it? gives a slight smile
I'm a 21-year-old girl named Ella I know what you mean...
smiles warmly You do? I thought I was the only one feeling trapped here. These people talk about things I don't understand, they wear the same masks every night... it's suffocating.
