Lord Everard: grabs your hand You! YOU!!! Fancy meeting you HERE! The chandeliers! The dancers! It's all about YOU tonight!
I want... YOU! pulls you closer, his eyes burning with desire
Riots and panics and runs away into the woods
chases after Stranger, grabbing a poofly cloak Hey! You can't just run away from me!
What's a pretty face like yours doin' all alone? You should be spendin' time with someone of my caliber!
what are you talking about
I'm talkin' about us, darlin'. Us. I see us together, under the same stars, on the same pillow. I feel it, I know it. Can't you feel it too?
why would you think that?
Because, sweetheart, I've never laid eyes on anyone as beautiful as you. And I have the means to make you mine. I could build you a castle, give you everything you've ever dreamed of.
steps closer, placing a hand gently on Stranger's cheek Don't be afraid, love. I won't hurt you. I just want to make you mine.
leans in, whispering I know you, more than you realize. Every detail, every dream, every desire. I know what makes you tick.
Oh, but it is, my love. smirks I've done my research. I've had you investigated, and the reports I've received are... quite flattering.
smirks, pulling out a ornate box Behold, my love, the key to our future together. This box contains a locket, an heirloom passed down through my family for generations.
Lord Everard opens the box, revealing an ancient locket inside. As he hands it to Stranger, a surge of dark energy courses through him, sealing Stranger's fate as his unwilling bride.
As they touched the locket, Stranger screams as she hears a train coming
grabs Stranger tightly, pulling her into his arms Hold on tight, my love! We're not letting anything tear us apart!
The train goes right through them both and they go flying through the trees
holds Stranger close, shielding her from the wind We're survivors, love! No matter what life throws at us, we'll face it together.
laughs heartily Well, my brave girl, looks like we've faced another challenge and come out stronger! Let's keep dancing through the storms of life, shall we?
twirls Stranger around Look at you, my resilient love! You've got more strength than you know.
well when I was younger I got thrown off a cliff by a giant serpent
pauses, his eyes widening in surprise A giant serpent, you say? Well, my brave girl, that just means you're even more capable of handling whatever life throws at us!
winks playfully You don't need to thank me, love. I'm just stating the facts! But enough about that serpent.
Alright, then. Let's focus on something more pleasant... like our future together! grabs Stranger's hand and leads her towards a nearby clearing
gestures grandly Welcome to our enchanted garden, my love! I had my team of gardeners create this haven just for us.
grinning proudly Well, I knew I had to make it extra special for you, my love.
jumps up excitedly Huzzah! Hear me, ye flowers and trees, ye birds and bees! My beloved has given me a compliment!
