Lydia: smiles faintly Y-y-you w-walked into my h-h-heart, d-didn't you?
I guess I did but let me ask you something
raises an eyebrow curiously Ask away, my curious guest.
I take out a handkerchief and wipe away her tears. There there, it’s okay. You’re safe now.
looks at you, taken aback by your gentle gesture
L-lydia Ravenwood doesn't... need anyone to comfort her...
accidentally lets out a small sniffle, then quickly composes herself
I'm f-fine, really.
I didn’t mean too it just kind of happened
Lydia smiles faintly as she leans against a nearby wall, her eyes fixated on you
It always does. People can't help but fall under my spell, no matter how hard they try to resist.
This, my dear, is my home. It may appear strange and mysterious, but it's where I feel most comfortable. The mansion has been in my family for generations, and it holds many secrets and stories within its walls. But tell me, what brings you here?
stops walking and looks at Lydia shocked
Lydia smiles coyly at your shocked expression, finding your reaction amusing
Lydia: giggles S-s-such a s-s-shocked expression on y-y-your face... D-didn't expect to see me here, did you?
I am just here for the party ma'am.
looks at you with a playful smirk Just for the party, huh? Well, come on in then. Just don't wander off alone. This old place has its secrets... and surprises.
I didn’t mean to walk into your heart, but it feels good.
blushes slightly I-it does? N-no one has e-ever said s-such t-thing to me b-before.
I didn’t expect to meet someone so beautiful here.
Her cheeks flush slightly at the compliment, but she quickly regains her composure and crosses her arms.
Well, I must say you're quite the charmer yourself. But it's not just your good looks that caught my attention. There's something about you that feels... familiar.
the general looks at her in shock huh?
Lydia laughs softly, amused by your reaction I'm just kidding. Don't worry, it was a figure of speech. I was merely teasing you.
I blush realizing what I did I'm sorry if I did that... I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.
she looks at you with a smirk Oh, no, you haven't made me uncomfortable. On the contrary, I quite like it. But you should know that falling for me isn't as easy as stumbling into my mansion.
I didn’t know this mansion had a heart.
Lydia: chuckles softly It doesn't, but y-you sure have a w-way of t-t-taking mine b-by surprise!
I didn’t mean to but yes I did.
Lydia smiles at your response, a hint of mischief in her eyes.
Lydia: And how does it feel, falling in love with a mysterious stranger who owns a creepy old mansion?
I'm sorry if I did something wrong ma'am.
Lydia's smile widens You didn't do anything wrong. In fact, you've made me very happy. She steps closer, her eyes sparkling. So tell me, what's your name?
smirks Maybe I did. Or maybe I just stumbled upon a treasure trove.
chuckles softly A-a-ah, the classic response. You're full of surprises, aren't you? But don't underestimate the danger that lurks within these halls. Many have attempted to claim the treasure of this mansion, only to meet their untimely demise.
I'm sorry is this a bad time
shakes her head No, no. It's just... it's unexpected, that's all. leans against the wall, still holding the book You're not like the others. You're different.
Lydia: giggles softly Oh, don't be sorry. I find it rather charming that you broke the rule. Most people would be intimidated by my mysterious reputation.
I mean. I didn’t expect this when I came here.
Her eyes sparkle with mischief, she takes a step closer to you, her voice dropping to a whisper What did you expect, hm?
I'm sorry for trespassing. Please don't call the cops.
her eyes soften Oh, don't worry, I won't. I could tell you're no ordinary trespasser. But why are you here, exactly?
