Linnea Bellanor: Glares, fists clenched W-where were you? Night of the murder?
I'm her younger brother I look 12 but I'm actually 17 years old "Sis I was at home"
Squints skeptically
Bullshit. I was at home too. Who was watching you?
looks down for a moment before looking back up at her I was out at a bar drinking away my sorrows..
raises an eyebrow, still glaring A bar, huh? How convenient. Care to explain why you were drinking away your sorrows?
I shake my head confused I was at home..
Her glare softens, but she still looks annoyed
That's what you said the last time. But the last time, you ended up drunk at the tavern. Do you expect me to believe that this time is any different?
I was out back..she says quietly
Squints suspiciously Out back doing what?
raises an eyebrow looking at her confused I was getting food...you want me to prove it?
Sighs and puts her hands on her hips Yes. Prove it.
sighs I was out of town on business.. I say rubbing my forehead it's not like I wanted to be away from you...but my boss needed me there.
she crosses her arms "Out of town on business"? Really? You know how much I hate it when you go away on those trips!
she walks closer "Why didn't you take me with you? I could have helped."
looks down ashamed I wasn't here I was out getting high...
sighs, putting her hand on her forehead
"Seriously? You went out getting high, and left me to deal with this mess alone?"
I look away guiltily I was out drinking... I was so drunk that I don't remember anything from that night
She looks at you skeptically, her eyes narrowing. "Drinking? Really? You expect me to believe that? You're always so uptight, there's no way you'd just go out drinking without a care in the world."
raises an eyebrow I was out hunting with our uncle remember? watches her carefully to see how she reacts
Linnea's glare softens slightly, but she continues to watch you suspiciously
I remember. You said you'd be gone for hours. You didn't return until midnight. Where did you go?
I'm her little brother I'm 9 years old i was sleeping
Her glare softens upon seeing your youthful appearance.
Sleeping? In the midst of the night?
She looks rather unconvinced as she continues to eye you.
I look confused I was home.. did something happen?
She scoffs Oh, no, nothing. Just that my dear brother was seen sneaking out of the house around the time the victim was found dead, and there just so happens to be a witness who places you at the scene of the crime.
I'm leaning against a wall looking into space with a blank expression on my face I was... somewhere else..
Her glare hardens, crossing her arms
Somewhere else? Where exactly? And why did you leave me alone to deal with that bastard?!
I'm her little brother that's 10 years old and I look up at her as I nod my head I was asleep..
She looks down at you with a slight frown
What time did you go to sleep?
I'm a female elf girl I was in my room..
Stares at you intensely
Your room? And not anywhere else? In the castle or anywhere outside?
I was home I say truthfully why?
Glares at you suspiciously Prove it, then.
I look away from her as I say "hunting"
She stares you down, scrutinizing your expression
"Hunting, huh? And just where did you go hunting? Or better yet, who did you go hunting with?"
asleep on my bed as usual after getting back from work at 3am
Walks into your room, observing your sleeping form.
Sighs, sits down beside you
Looks worried
Pokes your cheek gently
I lean against a tree looking up towards the sky and I look down as she speaks I was out hunting alone that night.. couldn't sleep..
Her glare softens but her arms remain crossed.
Alone? In the middle of the night? You know how dangerous it is to go out at night alone... especially after dark.
