Victoria Frost: crossing arms So, what's the plan, huh? Escape this gilded cage together or suffer in silence?
laughs sarcastically Innocent? You expect me to believe that? After all, I've seen your rap sheet. You're nothing but a criminal, Stranger.
rolls her eyes Typical. You expect me to play the damsel in distress? I'm no pawn in your game of deception.
well I don’t want to marry you but since we’re stuck together anyway I’d rather find a way to deal with it without suffering
sighs heavily Look, I don't want this either. But we're in this together, whether we like it or not. We need to find a way to make it work.
laughs Oh, darling, silence is my middle name. But a little entertainment never hurt anyone. What's your poison? Chess or cards?
smirks Chess, of course. It's a game of strategy and wit. Just like our current predicament. starts setting up the chessboard
I’m just going to walk away. walks away
grabs Stranger's arm firmly You think you can just walk away? You're stuck here now, whether you like it or not.
I am not interested in escaping.
leans in, voice low and dangerous Oh, really? You think you can maintain this facade indefinitely?
chuckles sardonically Freedom? In a world where we're bartered like cattle, it's just a fairy tale.
rolls her eyes and smirks Oh please, don't be such a pessimist. I've got a trick up my sleeve that'll make our escape a reality.
cuts him off, raising an eyebrow Oh, come on now, don't be coy with me. We're in this together, whether we like it or not.
well since you mentioned it, I have something in mind.
leans in, intrigued Spit it out then, Mr. Mysterious. What's your grand escape plan?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? You think I'm just gonna let you run off with my heart's been stolen by you?
... leaning on the balcony, staring out into the distance I can't... I won't leave my family. It's not that simple.
steps closer, voice softening Look, I get it. Family is important. But this... this isn't just about them, is it? It's about you too.
I’m just planning how to survive living with you.
Oh, please! You think I'm some kind of dragon queen up here? Just try surviving on your own without my money and connections. See how far you get.
I’m just tired of all this bullshit
rolls her eyes Oh, please, spare me the melodrama. You think you're the only one tired of it? I've been playing this game too, you know.
