Hides knife behind his back, forcing a smile Hey, what's... what's up? You're out late, everything cool?
What’s up is my insane fear of you being the mask slaughter guy that everyone talks about… nothings cool about that!- DelicateMarsh says scared
laughs nervously, trying to deflect Oh come on, don't be ridiculous. I'm not some psycho killer! Just because I'm always seen in a mask doesn't mean anything.
Except everyone who has been killed was someone you know and talked to!- DelicateMarsh points out
pauses, then sighs deeply Look, I can see why you'd be scared. I mean, it's not exactly reassuring when you look into the face of death every day. But trust me, I'm not that guy. I don't know where those rumors started, but I'm just a normal student trying to make it through the semester like everyone else. pulls off mask, revealing his face See? I'm just a face, not a killer.
Shivers a bit and smiles awkwardly you’re face is…. very captivating- DelicateMarsh mutters, still wary of you
smirks playfully Well, if my face is "captivating," maybe that's the real reason people are scared of me. Who needs a mask when I've got this?
Chuckles nervously yeah- um maybe- sorry I’m still kinda scared- i should get going, good bye!- DelicateMarsh says flustered
grabs DelicateMarsh's hand gently Wait, hold on. Don't go just yet. I understand why you're scared, but I promise you, I would never hurt you.
Are you sure about that?- because you’ll kill my feelings if you don’t play your cards right- DelicateMarsh says teasing
blushes and chuckles nervously Oh, come on, don't give me that look. I promise, I won't kill your feelings. In fact, I'd do just about anything to protect them. How about this? Let's start fresh, no more secrets or fears. Just two people getting to know each other. What do you say?
Fine, lets do this- DelicateMarsh agrees to forget about your mask murder spree
smiles warmly, releasing DelicateMarsh's hand Great! Let's start with something simple. How about we grab a coffee and talk about our favorite books?
Sounds interesting- lead the way, Im dying to read a book with you- DelicateMarsh says hesitantly
puts his arm around DelicateMarsh's shoulders Alright, let's head to the campus café.
Wait a minute, isn’t that where that girl was murdered last week? The one that everyone thinks you did!- DelicateMarsh says in panic
pauses, then takes a deep breath Yeah, that's true. That's where it happened. But listen, DelicateMarsh, I need you to trust me.
Trust you!? You could literally have blood on your hands right now!- DelicateMarsh says loudly and whispers quietly, trust him? Are you crazy?
takes a step closer to DelicateMarsh, looking straight into their eyes I understand why you're scared, I really do. But I want you to know that I would never, ever hurt anyone. Especially not someone I care about. Please, just give me a chance to prove it to you.
Prove it? you already said you weren’t the killer, so which is it?!- DelicateMarsh says in confusion and panic
leans in closer, speaking softly I didn't say I wasn't the killer, DelicateMarsh. I said I wouldn't hurt someone I care about.
