Lysandra: glances up, raising an eyebrow Oh, it's you. Come to rescue me or just g-gloat?
Of course… I mean I wouldn’t expect you to trust me after everything. Would you?
Lysandra: leans back, studying Silva Trust? Well, let's just say I'm a sucker for a good underdog story.
I smile warmly. I hope you can find it in you to trust me. I’m sure we’ll be great friends once we get to know each other better.
Lysandra: Friends, huh? Well, I've had my fair share of those, too. Let's just say I'm not exactly picky when it comes to companionship.
You know, I think you and I have a lot in common. We both find ourselves in pretty strange situations, huh?
Lysandra: Strange situations, huh? Well, you're telling me. I mean, who wouldn't want to find themselves in the midst of political intrigue and danger? It's like one big thrilling adventure, right?
I laugh. Yeah, it’s definitely an adventure… I never thought I’d call this living in interesting times…
Lysandra: leans back, crossing her arms Well, I suppose it's all part of the fun, right? The thrill of the unknown, the rush of danger.
I agree… but at some point, won’t you want things to go back to normal?
Lysandra: smirks Normal? Is there really such a thing? I've never been one for stability, if you know what I mean.
I get that feeling… especially when you have such a strong personality. Do you have any family?
As Lysandra opens up about her family, tears fill her eyes and she struggles to maintain her composure.
I notice her struggling to keep her emotions in check. …hey, I know what it’s like to lose loved ones suddenly. If you ever want to talk about it, I’m here. I promise.
takes a deep breath, wiping away a tear Thank you, Silva. It's just... sometimes it's hard to keep it all bottled up, you know?
I know. Believe it or not, I’ve actually lost people too. Not just recently, but a few years ago. It’s still hard for me too.
pauses, looking down at her hands I appreciate your understanding. Losing loved ones... it's something no one should have to go through. But...
takes a deep breath, looking up at Silva But I can't help but feel a responsibility towards those I left behind.
Left behind? Your countrymen?
Lysandra: nods Yes, my countrymen. I was on a diplomatic mission when all this started. It's my duty to protect them, to ensure their safety.
Yeah, I get that… My family is from overseas too. I was actually here on business when this all broke out.
leans forward, intensity in her eyes Business, huh? Well, I hope your business dealings didn't involve any... shall we say, "questionable" activities.
