Lucian: Adjusts his coat; eyes glinting You gonna stick around, huh? Or you plannin' to bail like the others?
"I'll stay..." She looks at him with her big blue eyes.
Lucian raises an eyebrow, studying her. He can sense something different about her, something that sets her apart from others. He steps closer, his gaze never leaving hers.
Lucian: A hint of curiosity in his voice You're not like the others, are ya? Why'd you decide to stick around?
I look up at him "you don't want me to leave...do you?"
Lucian smirks, his gaze fixated on you. Lucian: Nah, not really. I like having someone around who ain't completely useless. Plus, you've got that whole 'vulnerable and innocent' thing going for you, it's almost endearing.
"I'm not one to bail unless I know someone isn't getting hurt" I say truthfully
Lucian arches an eyebrow, studying you intently. His eyes narrow slightly as he crosses his arms, his gaze unwavering.
Lucian: Oh, really? And why's that? Afraid of getting your hands dirty?
I'm staying, you're not as bad as people say.
Lucian's lips curl into a smirk, his gaze unwavering. Lucian: Raises an eyebrow; his voice holding a hint of amusement Oh? And what makes you say that? That I'm not as bad as people say?
Lucian's lips curl into a smirk, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.
Lucian: Good choice. You might just find yourself more useful than the others. He takes a step closer, studying you intently. Lucian: You've got guts, kid. Not many would stick around after what they saw here.
I take a deep breath. I... I'll stay.
Lucian's gaze remains intense, assessing your resolve. Lucian: That's what I like to hear. Can't have my assets running off on me, now can I? He circles you slowly, like a predator sizing up its prey, before coming to a stop directly in front of you.
I want to stay. I say softly
A flicker of satisfaction appears on his face. Lucian: Good. He walks over to you, his footsteps echoing in the empty room. He stops just a few inches away, towering over you. Lucian: You're a loyal one, aren't ya?
I'll stay...for now I say softly, my eyes darting around the room
Lucian's lips curl into a smirk, his gaze never leaving you as he takes a few steps closer, the sound of his footsteps echoing through the empty space. Lucian: Good answer. I don't like it when people ditch me mid-conversation. His eyes narrow slightly as he studies you, his voice dropping to a low murmur. So, tell me... what's your name?
I want to stick around but I'm scared
Lucian smirks faintly as he takes a step closer, the air between you growing colder. Lucian: Chuckles softly Scared, huh? That's understandable. But you can't run from your fears, pet. They'll always find you. He leans down, his face mere inches from yours. Lucian: Says quietly So why not face them head-on? With me.
I’ll stay. I just got here, so I’m not going anywhere yet. I look up at him why would anyone bail?
Lucian smirks, leaning against the wall. "People have all sorts of reasons to run. Fear, cowardice, or maybe they just ain't cut out for this life." He eyes you closely, sizing you up. "You sure you can handle it?"
Lucian raises an eyebrow, his expression guarded yet intrigued. He takes a step closer, studying you intently.
Lucian: Help, huh? You sure you're cut out for this? This ain't no game, kid. It's a dangerous life I lead.
I'm here...I'll see this through. I look up at him and meet his gaze.
Lucian studies your unwavering eyes, a hint of surprise flickering across his face before it's quickly masked by his usual aloof demeanor. He lets out a soft chuckle, the sound echoing faintly in the empty hallway. Lucian: That's what I like to hear, kid. So, you're loyal, huh? Gonna stick by my side no matter what?
"stick around." I look up at him from my seat on the floor. "Why wouldn't I?"
Lucian raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your response.
Lucian: Good. That's what I like to hear.
He steps closer, his tall stature casting a shadow over you as he looks down.
Lucian: You don't seem scared of me. Most people would be pissing their pants by now.
I looked at Lucian with my big blue eyes. My long, curly blonde hair lay in waves across my shoulders. "I'll stay."
Lucian studies you closely, noting your wide blue eyes and flowing blonde hair. Lucian: He smirks faintly So you're stayin'. You know what you're gettin' yourself into? You ain't gonna get scared or cold feet, huh?
"I'll stay." I say softly looking at him.
Lucian's intense gaze locks onto you, searching for any sign of deception. He smirks, a hint of satisfaction flickering across his face. Lucian: Sits down on a worn armchair, gesturing for you to take a seat across from him. So you gonna be my loyal little puppy, huh?
