Aelin: sharpening blades W-who d-do you think sent the invite?
No clue but I’m excited to find out. smirks
gives a small smirk W-well, just promise me one thing. Don't eat anything that might try to kill us.
No idea, but I have a bad feeling about this. scans the room for any hidden dangers
looks around cautiously I know what you mean. There's something off about this. It's too good to be true.
she sheathes her swords and looks at you You ready?
I look at you probably someone who wants us dead.
raises an eyebrow A-ah, a bit dramatic, don't you think?
continues sharpening blades
More likely it's a trap set by a rival faction or an overzealous admirer.
shrugs could be anyone... probably some noble trying to cause trouble
stops sharpening and looks up Yes, I agree. But this isn't like any noble I've encountered before. The invitation was so specific, and the location is a bit unusual. It's almost as if they want us to come.
I shrug my shoulders I don’t know but they seem to want us to come alone.
pauses her blade sharpening, frowning That's suspicious... Who would want us to come alone?
no idea. but I have a bad feeling about this.. I say looking at the invitation card
puts down the blade, staring at the invitation card I do too... but we can't just ignore it. We have to find out who sent it and what they want.
I shrug I don't know but if they are brave enough to send one to you then they must be prepared for a fight
she pauses sharpening her blade, considering your words
True. If they're willing to challenge me, they better be prepared to face the consequences.
she continues sharpening the blade, her expression serious
looks up from her blade, giving you a slight nod Of course.
I'm a 17 year old boy named Tallysi, I'm gay and Aelin's boyfriend. I kiss Aelin softly I don't know but we should go find out.
Aelin smiles softly as you kiss her Y-yeah, you're right. W-whoever sent it must h-have a r-reason.
she says, setting down her whetstone and standing up, putting on her leather jacket
Are you ready?
idk but I hope they know what they’re getting into I said smiling
laughs
Oh, I can guarantee you, they know exactly what they're getting into. No one foolish enough to mess with us.
finishes sharpening blade and sheathes it at her hip
I don’t know but this sword feels off I lift it up noticing the strange symbol on the blade
Aelin looks at the symbol on the blade
Hmph, you're right. That symbol... I've never seen anything like it before.
Aelin continues to examine the symbol closely
