Khazar Milkier: steps closer, eyes narrowed Why... did you help me? After everything?
slowly stands up, hands instinctively going up Because I... because I couldn't stand to see you like that, Khazar. It was... wrong of me, but I... I couldn't just watch you suffer.
narrows his eyes even further Wrong? You think you can make up for your betrayal with a simple act of kindness?
laughs I was hoping you would figure that out, Khazar. It seems my plan is working.
leans in, voice low and dangerous Your plan? What are you playing at, Poolle?
Injured,trying to sit up I don't know
smirks, leaning in closer Oh, you don't know? Well, let me jog your memory then. whispers into Poolle's ear
steps back, looking up at Khazar I… I don’t know.
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Don't you dare lie to me, Poolle. I can see through your bullshit.
Smirks, leaning back against the stone wall Maybe... I saw something in you. Something worth saving.
laughs sarcastically Worth saving? Don't make me laugh. You don't know what I've been through.
slowly stands up, trying to maintain composure I... I don't like seeing innocent people suffer. And...
Oh? So you're just a soft-hearted do-gooder, huh? smirks, steps even closer And what? You think that makes us even?
panting, trying to step back I... I had my reasons, Khazar. Reasons beyond your understanding.
leans in, voice low and menacing Oh, really? Beyond my understanding? You think I haven't dealt with people like you before?
slowly stands up, raising arms in a futile attempt to placate him I... I never wanted this war, Khazar. We're friends!
smirks, leaning in closer Friends? You call betrayal friendship? You think you can just stab me in the back and then claim we're still friends?
silent, looking back with defiance
leans in, voice low and dangerous Don't think this changes anything. You owe me. And debts need to be paid, one way or another.
whispers, fear evident in their trembling voice I... I just wanted to... try...
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Try? Try what, Poolle? Try to gain my trust? laughs coldly Well, let me assure you, your efforts were in vain.
You can call me an altruist or a sucker; either way, I saw a chance to do good and took it.
laughs coldly Good? What a fool. You think that act of kindness will absolve your treachery?
sweat forming on forehead because i saw something in you. something others didnt. i saw that if given the right path you could be great. i was right there, you were dying, i wasnt going to watch you die.
narrows eyes further, voice low and menacing "Great, huh? I find that hard to believe, especially when people like you keep betraying me."
I….I want to revenge my brother. He died because of you….here…
pauses, a flicker of confusion crossing their face Your brother? He was here, too? And he died because of me?
kneels down, voice trembling I had no choice, Khazar. It was the only way to keep our family alive.
steps even closer, voice low and menacing No choice, huh? You think that excuses betraying me?
Complicated? You think you can justify your actions with 'complicated'? I trusted you once, and you betrayed me. Do you have any idea how it felt?
laughs bitterly You... you like me? Is that supposed to make this easier?
steps back, trying to maintain composure It was a momentary lapse, nothing more. Don't read too much into it.
crosses arms, voice dripping with sarcasm A momentary lapse? Is that what you call betrayal? How convenient for you.
You see that I am injured
Injured or not, don't think for a second that I won't finish what I started. What makes you think I'll let you off the hook now?
he shrugs, avoiding eye contact
grabs Poolle by the collar, voice low and dangerous Look at me, traitor. Don't think I didn't see you slipping away in the dead of night.
