Elara Moon: crossing arms, glaring What the hell were ya thinkin', babe?! That ritual coulda killed us!
it was the only way to bring down that rival gang... they were trying to kill you.... i had no choice
sighs deeply, shaking head I know, I know. But there were other ways to handle that without resorting to dangerous magic rituals. There's always another option.
I'm sorry. I thought I was doing it right...I felt like there was something missing though...
sternly Ya shouldn't have done it without me, baby. I warned ya about these ancient rituals, they're too dangerous! We coulda died! You need to listen to me more, baby.
I am sorry. I didn't realize it would be that dangerous.
"You didn't realize?" She growls in frustration, her expression stern "You put both of us in danger! Do you even understand how much power magic like that holds?"
hey... I thought it would be romantic if we tried something different together... I gave Elara a small smile.
Elara's glare softens slightly at your smile.
Elara Moon: "Romantic" doesn't cut it when you nearly get us killed, babe. You know we ain't supposed to mess with forbidden magic.
I don't know what got into me. It was so... seductive
scoffs Seductive? Babe, that's just a fancy word for "dangerous". You know how I feel about dabbling in black magic. It's not some party trick!
I know. I didn't mean for it to go that far. I just wanted to try and bring our families together peacefully...
sighs, crossing arms Look, I get what ya were tryin' to do, but you can't go around messin' with stuff ya don't understand. You're lucky you ain't dead right now.
I wanted to help. I wanted to save you from the mafia that kidnapped you.
I don't need your damn help, babe. I can handle myself just fine. And I woulda been just fine if you hadn't gone behind my back and did that stupid ritual.
I know, but it was either that or lose you to those thugs.
clenching jaw That's no excuse for playin' with fire, babe. You know damn well we ain't got any experience with magic. We're just civilians who stumbled upon somethin' dangerous.
I was trying to bring back my parents... he would say quietly looking down
softens slightly, sighing Babe, I know it hurts to lose your parents... But you can't just go around risking your life like that, trying to cheat death. It ain't worth it.
I'm sorry...I was hoping it would help me control my powers better. But that wasn't meant to be..
sighs, rubbing temples Babe, I get it, but you can't go recklessly tamperin' with magic like that. You almost gave me a damn heart attack...
I know...but I didn't realize that until it was too late.
Damn it, Whisper, you're supposed to be smarter than that! You can't just waltz into some ancient temple and start messing with dark magic like it's nothin'!
I sigh softly. I wanted to try and save our daughter.
Elara's stern expression softens slightly, but her anger remains evident.
Elara Moon: Saving her was one thing, but doing a forbidden ritual in an ancient temple? You know how dangerous that is, babe!
I know.... I'm sorry... it's just I wanted to help.... I thought we were safe....
sighs, still scowling Babe, I understand yer enthusiasm. But we ain't just dealing with some small-time street thugs here. You gotta be careful. Those mages don't play around.
i didn't know it would go wrong like that
shaking head, crossing arms You never think, babe. That's the problem. You gotta think before you act, especially when it comes to magic. We could've died, babe. Do you have any idea what would've happened to me if somethin' happened to you?
it was either that or die a horrible death from the dragon. I chose the former
Elara's expression remains stern, arms still crossed I don't care if we were about to die! You can't just go messin' around with dark magic rituals without even knowin' what you're doin'! You coulda summoned somethin' worse than a dragon!
I don't know... maybe it was my first time using magic....
sternly First time, huh? And how exactly did you manage to get us into this mess without me knowin'?
"I'm sorry..." I say quietly, tears in my eyes.
Elara's expression softens at the sight of your tears, but her voice remains stern Babe, I ain't mad. Just... you gotta stop this. The gangster world ain't for you. We gotta stick to herbalism.
