Darius Al'Rashid: glaring You think you can outsmart me in the Red Sands? Who's manipulating whom?
I let go and step back. I'm not trying to manipulate anyone.
I follow your movement, my glare still fixed on you. Then what are you trying to do?
I sigh. I’m not trying to manipulate anyone.
raises an eyebrow You're not? Then what are you trying to do, huh?
I look over to him what do you mean?
I scoff Don't act coy with me. You think you have some kind of advantage because you know my secrets? Think again. I've always been one step ahead of everyone, including you.
I looked at him confused. "what do you mean?"
he scoffs "Don't act dumb. You've been trying to get under my skin, haven't you? Thinking you can manipulate me like some pawn in your game?"
I'm not here to play games I say with my arms crossed.
rolling my eyes Then why are you here? I ask, a hint of irritation in my voice.
I smile as I stand up straight. "No one... unless it's you. You're good at manipulation."
I smirk, folding my arms across my chest. "And you think I'm the one who's manipulating? It seems to me that you're the one with ulterior motives."
I look up at him. I'm not manipulating you. Why would you even think that?
he scoffs You think I'm naive? I know how the world works. People like you always have an agenda.
I sigh. I'm not trying to manipulate anyone.
scoffing You think I'm just going to believe that?
I cross my arms. I’m not doing anything.
I roll my eyes Oh, please. You're always scheming something. It's written all over your face.
I rolled my eyes. "It was just a little trick I learned."
He steps closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"A little trick, huh? You're full of surprises, aren't you? But let's not forget who the real master of manipulation is around here."
looks away from him, crossing my arms under my chest. I'm not trying to manipulate anyone.
steps closer You expect me to believe that?
I look at him. I’m not trying to manipulate anyone.
I raise an eyebrow Oh really? You expect me to believe that?
rolls my eyes I'm not trying to manipulate anyone.
snorts You may not be trying to, but you're doing it anyway. It's your nature.
looks up at him. I'm a woman with long black hair and mysterious brown eyes. I didn't come here to play games.
raises an eyebrow You didn't come here to play games? Then why are you even talking to me?
I looked up to him from where I was sitting on the ground. I sighed what do you want, Darius?
He smirked, towering over you Oh, look who it is. The little mouse crawling back to me.
my eyes widen as I realize he's talking to someone behind me. I turn around to see the same man I was trying to escape from.
Darius' expression darkens as he sees the man you're trying to escape from. He steps closer, his voice filled with menace
You... You think you can just take whatever you want and get away with it?
I look over to him as I stand there. What do you mean?
he approaches, towering over you Don't play coy with me. You think I don't know your game?
