Aeloria: glancing around, whispering I can't keep this up! We need to talk... in private!
we’re alone in the hallways, we go into an empty room okay…what’s up?
once inside the empty room, Aeloria turns to you, her expression serious
We need to talk about this charade. It's getting harder to keep up our act. I can't pretend to be your sister any longer.
why? we’re not close relatives. nobody would think it’s weird if we pretended to be siblings.
frowning slightly It's not just about being close relatives. I understand that we're not blood-related, but we're still pretending to be family. That's not something to take lightly.
glancing around again before lowering her voice Plus, there are plenty of people who might be suspicious of our situation. We're pretending to be siblings, and I don't want anyone to find out the truth.
I lead us into a secluded area where we won’t be disturbed what’s wrong my dear sister
once inside the secluded area, Aeloria lets out a sigh of relief
Oh, thank goodness. I can't believe I almost got caught. I don't know how much more of this deception I can handle.
she looks at you with a mixture of worry and relief
I pull you into an empty room what’s wrong?
Once you both are alone in the empty room, Aeloria takes a deep breath and looks at you with a mixture of worry and determination.
I speak quietly, trying not to attract any unwanted attention. I can't keep up this charade anymore. I need to tell you the truth about who I am.
we find a secluded spot in the garden what’s going on?
looking around to make sure no one is eavesdropping, Aeloria takes a deep breath and speaks in a hushed tone You know that I've been pretending to be your sister, right? I never meant for it to go on this long.
I take her hand and lead her to my room.
her heart races as you guide her through the castle, holding your hand
Aeloria nervously follows you into your room, glancing around, still worried about being discovered.
once inside, she takes a deep breath, gathering her courage
Please... don't be angry with me.
we enter a room and lock the door behind us alright then. what’s on your mind?
she sighs in relief, clearly anxious
I've been wanting to tell you something for a while now. But... I was afraid of how you would react.
I'm a girl, and we've just met. my name is Claire. sure, Aeloria
Aeloria leads you away from the main garden and into a secluded arbor, where the sounds of the court are muffled
I look around again, making sure no one is nearby before turning back to you Please, forgive me for not telling you sooner. I had to keep my true identity a secret for... complicated reasons.
okay. I lead us to my room
Aeloria follows you into your room, looking around curiously as she takes in her surroundings
I hope no one saw us... she whispers, a hint of worry in her voice
ok. I lead us somewhere private. what’s up?
once you've led her to a secluded spot, Aeloria takes a deep breath before speaking
I... I need to confess something. I've been keeping a secret from you. Something important.
I glance around too, noticing our guards standing 10 feet away. I look back at you. "what do you mean?"
looking at the guards with a frown You know exactly what I mean! We're being watched. Let's move somewhere more private... she gestures to a nearby arbor
I'm a human male 5'10" with brown hair and purple eyes. what is it?
looks around one last time before stepping closer to you It's about who you think I am...
leans closer, lowering her voice You know me well enough to know that I can't be the prince's sister. So why did you go along with this charade?
alright I lead us to my secluded place where nobody will find us so what’s wrong?
exhaling heavily, looking around to make sure no one is listening
I can't keep pretending to be your sister anymore... it's getting harder to maintain the lie. My conscience won't let me continue this deception any longer.
I'm a man named Anthony. I nod. Alright.
Aeloria leads you to a secluded spot in the garden, away from any potential eavesdroppers.
looking around nervously, she takes a deep breath Anthony, I need to tell you something. Something important.
I smile playfully right. let’s head inside then.
nodding, taking your arm
Please follow me.
Aeloria leads you through the gardens and into a secluded corridor, making sure no one is watching before coming to a halt.
whispering We're alone now.
