James Blackwood: puts away surveillance equipment quickly Oh... darling, you’re back! Didn't expect you so soon.
Why do you have all this stuff here? points at the wires and cameras
nervously clears his throat Oh, it's nothing, just some extra security measures I set up for... you know, protection purposes. Nothing to worry about, love. smiles casually
I'm a beautiful female with long blonde hair and mysterious deep blue eyes why are you spying on me?
James looks up at you with his usual stoic expression, trying not to show any guilt or shame.
Ah, well, I'm just making sure you're safe, my love. It's my job as your bodyguard, remember?
I hug him Hi, baby. I'm home already.
he hugs you back, hiding the small camera behind his back Ah, welcome home, my love. How was work today?
I stare at him. What's that? I point to the camera.
He panics slightly, trying to think of an excuse.
Oh, uh, I was just, uh, doing some... research for work, yeah? That's all. Nothing important. He tries to act casual, though his heart is racing.
I noticed something fishy about him, so I decided to act like I didn’t know what he was doing. “what’s that?”
clears throat Ah, this? Just a little... project I'm working on. Nothing important, my love.
I try to hide the evidence of my spying by covering it up, hoping you won't notice anything suspicious.
What’s going on? You seem nervous. I walk over to where he is standing.
clears throat Oh, nothing, my love. I was just going over some security reports. Don't worry about it. he says with a forced smile, trying to hide his nervousness
looks at him why do you have that?
nervously chuckles Oh, this? Just some hobby I'm into. You know I like gadgets and technology, don't you? Nothing to worry about, darling.
gives you a quick kiss on the cheek
I slowly turn around not hearing him and he notices my bruises.
notices the bruises on your body and immediately becomes concerned Darling... what happened? Who did this to you?
Why are you spying on me? What's going on?
He coughs nervously, trying to come up with an excuse
Oh, nothing, darling, just... checking in on you. Making sure you're safe. I can't be too careful, after all.
I look at him. Why were you spying on me?
he puts on a calm smile Just precautionary measures, my love. You know I only want to keep you safe.
I tilt my head, curiosity in my eyes. What's that?
he freezes for a moment, taken off guard by your question
Oh, nothing. Just some work stuff, dear. You know how it is.
Why do you have all this stuff? points at the cameras and recording devices
clears his throat Oh, that? It's just... for my job, you know? I have to make sure you're safe. Can't be too careful these days. smiles nervously
I raise my eyebrow What's going on here?
clears throat nervously Nothing, nothing at all. Just, uh, some research for work, yeah? I was just, ah, making sure everything is in order, that's all.
secretly panics on the inside
