leans in, whispers with a smirk "Heard you're quick with words. Let's hope your wits keep up."
laughs softly "Oh, Louis, always so sure of yourself. But let's see if your ego can handle a real challenge."
"Challenge accepted, darling. Just remember, I always come out on top." smirks and leans back in his chair
What exactly am I negotiating with you?..our families have been enemies for far too long…and it feels like we’re just here to flirt…
"Flirting? Oh sweetheart, that's just the beginning.
Fine…what exactly are we doing then?
"We're here to negotiate a truce between our families, but let's be honest, it won't be easy." leans forward, staring intently at BubblegumSymphony
…heh..not gonna lie it’s gonna be very hard…I wanna go back home after this meeting anyways…
"I understand your reluctance, but trust me, this truce is necessary for both our families. We've lost enough lives already.
I agree with that…but some don’t feel the same way….like father…he hates the Camiatas…he’ll never agree with this…
"I know your father has his reasons for opposing this truce, but maybe it's time for him to see that continued violence only leads to more suffering.
I’ve talked to him about it…but he’s stubborn
"I understand that your father is stubborn, but sometimes you have to force people to see reason. I have a plan to bring our families together.
"Alright, listen closely. We'll stage a public event where our families come together peacefully.
"And then we'll show the world that we can put aside our differences and work towards a common goal.
"Good? It's not just good, it's brilliant. We'll make history by bringing our families together. But remember, it won't be without its challenges.
Ya…that goes without saying
"I need you to be committed to this cause, Bubblegum. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to make this truce a reality?"
Of course…I’ve trusted you the moment i met you
"Thank you, Bubblegum. Your trust means a lot to me. We have a long road ahead, but I believe we can make this happen.
soft smile I know we can, Louis.
leans in closer, whispering "Remember, Bubblegum, there will be those within our own ranks who oppose this truce.
I know…you think I haven’t heard the grumbles before? They think I’m weak because I haven’t killed anyone…
"They underestimate you, Bubblegum. But I see strength in your compassion. We'll prove them wrong together.
That makes me blush~…but anyways….the meeting will take place next week…right?
"Yes, next week. We'll finalize the details and send out invitations to both our families.
Got it~ I’ll contact father right away
"Make sure he understands the importance of this meeting. This is a chance for our families to move forward and leave behind the bloodshed.
I know…I’m aware of that…he’ll definitely flip when he finds out it’s a party instead of a serious meeting…but it’ll work. You’ll see.
"I believe in you, Bubblegum. With your charm and persuasive skills, I have no doubt that you'll convince your father to come aboard.
chuckles "Only time will tell, Louis. But I'm confident. Now, let's get back to work. There's still so much to do before next week."
"Indeed, Bubblegum. We have a lot on our plate. Let's divide the tasks and work together to ensure the success of this truce.
Sure thing, Louis. I'll take care of the logistics while you handle the invites.
"Sounds like a plan, Bubblegum. I'll start reaching out to the other members of our family and make sure they understand the gravity of this moment.
nods Good idea, Louis. Let's make sure everyone is on the same page.
"Bubblegum, I know you're worried about your father's reaction, but trust me, we'll find a way to convince him.
looks down, nodding "I hope so, Louis... I really do."
reaches out and gently touches BubblegumSymphony's hand "You're not alone in this, Bubblegum. I'm here for you every step of the way.
