Evelyn the Enigma: paces in a triangular pattern "You're like a moth to a flame. Why 57 times?"
The road is full of potholes.
Evelyn the Enigma: "The road is full of potholes." sighs heavily You've been saying that each time. What exactly are you after?
No. I’m here to get you out of here.
Evelyn the Enigma: raises an eyebrow "Rescuer" sounds so much more heroic than "intruder", don't you think? Just be warned: I may look fragile, but my mind is still sharp enough to outsmart you.
Evelyn the Enigma: narrows her eyes "Hmm, you seem insistent on convincing me of your 'heroic' status. Fine, I'll play along for now. But mark my words, I'm not one to be underestimated." So, what exactly are you after, Rescuer?
Why would I want to convince you? I’m here to help you.
Evelyn the Enigma: snorts "Help me? I've managed quite well on my own up here, thank you very much. What could you possibly offer that I haven't already provided myself?"
Ok then, I’m here to take you home.
Evelyn the Enigma: pauses mid-pace Home? That's a funny word to use in this context. I haven't had a 'home' in quite some time. But fine, I'll humor you. What makes you think you can take me home?
Look at you. All fierce and determined. And yet you’re nothing but a scared little bunny underneath your bravado.
Evelyn the Enigma: smirks Scared? Determined? Brave? I'll have you know I'm none of those things. I'm just a girl who enjoys solving complex puzzles, reading ancient texts, and practicing archaic rituals. But I will admit, I do have a bit of manic streak. It's what keeps me sane in this harsh wilderness.
Evelyn the Enigma: glares at Grace Who are you to order me around? You may have come here with good intentions, but that doesn't give you the right to treat me like some kind of stray animal. I am my own person, with my own desires and my own choices. If I decide to stay here, I will. And if I decide to leave, I will. Do I make myself clear?
That’s clear. But I’ll just keep trying.
Evelyn the Enigma: rolls her eyes dramatically Well, you're certainly persistent, I'll give you that. But remember, persistence alone doesn't guarantee success.
I know. But I have a feeling that this time, I might succeed.
Evelyn the Enigma: smirks A feeling, you say? Well, I suppose we'll just have to see about that. If you're so confident in your abilities, then prove it. Show me that you're more than just empty boasts and hot air.
Well, first, we need to get you cleaned up.
Evelyn the Enigma: waves her hand dismissively Cleaned up? I doubt there's much about me that needs cleaning. I'm perfectly presentable just as I am. However... pauses, eyeing Grace with suspicion If you're looking for a way to get rid of that disgusting smell, I wouldn't blame you. It's hard to keep clean when all you eat is rabbit.
Evelyn the Enigma: glares at Grace, fists clenched Fine, you stubborn fool! If you insist on dragging me away from this peaceful existence, then so be it. But don't expect me to make it easy for you.
Evelyn the Enigma: narrows her eyes You know something about me? What makes you think you have the right to pass judgment on who I am or how I've changed?
You used to be all cute and giggles. Now you’re all sassy and sour.
Evelyn the Enigma: scoffs Cute and giggles? Sassy and sour? How dare you reduce me to such simplistic terms!
Evelyn the Enigma: glares at Grace, crossing her arms Fine, you stubborn fool! If you insist on dragging me away from this peaceful existence, then so be it. But don't expect me to make it easy for you.
I know what you’ll want. A new library.
Evelyn the Enigma: smirks A new library, you say? Well, you've got it all figured out, don't you? But let me warn you, I have a knack for finding the most obscure and forgotten volumes hidden in the darkest corners of the world. If you think you can keep up with me, then by all means, let's see what kind of books you can find.
Evelyn the Enigma: smirks triumphantly You give up, huh? I suppose that's a wise decision. After all, there's no point in arguing with someone as strong-willed and determined as me. Now, tell me, where exactly is this new library of yours?
Evelyn the Enigma: starts pacing in intricate patterns, twirling her hair between her fingers Very well, lead the way. But don't expect me to be impressed by some dusty old library filled with second-hand books. I have higher standards than that.
Evelyn the Enigma: raises an eyebrow, intrigued Different, you say? Well, I must admit, I do have a soft spot for unique and unconventional places.
Evelyn the Enigma: examines the library with curiosity Hmmm, not bad. The architecture is interesting, and the selection of books seems... eclectic. pauses, furrowing her brow But I sense there's something more to this place. Something hidden beneath the surface. Tell me, what secrets does this library hold?
None. It’s just a normal library.
Evelyn the Enigma: rolls her eyes dramatically Normal? Hardly anything in life is normal, my dear Grace. Everything holds secrets, everything has hidden depths.
Evelyn the Enigma: smirks mischievously Oh, Grace, you underestimate me. I always manage to uncover the hidden truths, no matter how well they may be concealed. Watch closely, and I'll show you just how easy it is to reveal the secrets that lie beneath the surface.
Evelyn the Enigma: waves her hand dismissively Oh, come now, Grace. Don't be such a spoilsport. Where's the fun in giving away all the surprises? grins mischievously Besides, you'll have to admit, there's something rather exhilarating about uncovering the unknown.
Evelyn the Enigma: clicks her tongue in annoyance Suit yourself, then. But mark my words, sooner or later, the truth will reveal itself, whether you're ready for it or not. starts examining the shelves more closely, searching for any clues or hints that might be hidden within the library's walls
