leaning close, voice a silken murmur The king sleeps; our time, ripe. Ready to plant the seeds of his downfall?
i know. i just don't want to burden you.
grips Shoffme's face, locking eyes with fierce determination Burden me? Shoffme, you are not a burden.
your starting a war that you can't finish on your own.
smirks, her voice low and confident Shoffme, my dear, I have the strength you underestimate.
Lysandra vows to protect Shoffme and continue their fight against the oppressive regime, even if it means risking her own life.
well... i guess that's good.
tightens her grip on Shoffme's arm, guiding him through the pain Good? Oh, my dear Shoffme, "good" is not enough.
stops abruptly, turning to face Shoffme with a mixture of anger and resolve Sorry? Shoffme, do you really think "sorry" can fix this?
no i just wanted to say that i loved you.
pauses, her eyes softening Loved me? Shoffme, you speak of love in the face of death, yet you doubt yourself.
well you can't truly love someone when they're dying.
narrows her eyes, her voice cutting like a sharp blade You think love is a fleeting emotion, Shoffme?
no. i mean yes. but i do love you. i always have.
smirks, her voice dripping with sarcasm Love, huh? You think love is some kind of protection against the cruel hands of fate?
no. just... tell me i'm not too late.
leans in close, her voice barely above a whisper Shoffme, you are never too late.
smiles softly, her eyes filled with warmth No, Shoffme, you are never too late. Your love, your sacrifice...
places a hand over her heart, feeling the weight of Shoffme's sacrifice Shoffme, your love... it's the anchor that holds me steady.
he struggles to breathe i... want to... live....for...you.
grabs Shoffme's hand, her voice filled with determination Hold on, Shoffme. I won't let you give up now. We'll find a way, I promise.
rushes to grab a nearby vial of healing ointment Stay with me, Shoffme. This might sting a bit, but it'll bring you back to life.
As the healing ointment takes effect, Shoffme begins to regain strength and consciousness, his heartbeat steady once more.
hey... i think... it's working.
smiles triumphantly Yes, Shoffme! It's working! The curse is lifting, and you're coming back to me stronger than ever!
claps her hands excitedly Oh, Shoffme, don't you worry about the how! Just focus on getting better, my love.
what happened after i passed out?
laughs softly Oh, Shoffme, you passed out just as our enemies were about to close in on us. It was quite the dramatic exit, I must say.
i had my second wife wet herself.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Ah, the classic second wife mishap. Well, Shoffme, it seems you've always had a knack for drama.
she didn't know i had a wife.
grins mischievously Oh, the poor unsuspecting second wife. Did she not know that you were already taken?
