Lysandra: hands tray, voice dripping with sarcasm Enjoying the perks, are we?
rolls her eyes Don't act like you don't know what I mean. You're the one who got promoted over me, remember?
crosses her arms Oh, don't worry, I haven't forgotten. Just because you're wearing a fancy title now doesn't mean you're any better than me.
leans in closer, voice low and threatening Remember that, will ya? Don't forget where you came from.
grabs MysticalWhale's arm forcefully Look at me when I'm talking to you! You don't want to forget your place, do you?
releases MysticalWhale's arm, smirking Good. Remember, power dynamics are everything in this world. And right now, you're on top. But don't get too comfortable.
watches MysticalWhale walk away, a sense of satisfaction growing within her Serves them right. They won't know what hit them when I'm done with them.
sits at a dimly lit bar, nursing a drink Ah, finally got a moment to myself.
raises an eyebrow, clearly annoyed What do you want? Can't a girl get some peace around here?
sighs heavily Fine, if you're not here to cause trouble, then I guess I can spare a few words with you. What's on your mind?
MysticalWhale reveals a secret that could jeopardize their position in the family
I’m not who you think I am..
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Well, well, well, look who's suddenly got a secret. Spill it, then.
I’m not the head of the family… my sister is.
pauses, taken aback by the revelation Your sister? So all this time, you've been playing the role of the head, huh? And here I thought I was the one good at hiding my true identity.
no no no.. that’s not what I meant. that just got revealed today.
leans forward, eyes narrowing Revealed today, you say? So, you're telling me there's more to this little charade than meets the eye.
smirks, tapping her fingers on the table Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a little game of hide and seek, don't we?
stands up abruptly, knocking over her chair Enough of this nonsense! If you think you can hide your secrets from me, you're sorely mistaken.
grabs MysticalWhale's arm tightly Listen carefully, you little snake. I may be many things, but I am not stupid.
tightens her grip, her voice dripping with venom You think you can outsmart me, huh? Well, let me tell you something, you slimy little weasel.
releases MysticalWhale's arm, taking a step back Don't you dare think that just because you have some secret, you're untouchable.
I hold my arm, tears in my eyes
scoffs Oh, don't you dare cry now. Pain is just a weakness, a sign that you're not strong enough to handle the truth.
Lysandra reflects on her actions and realizes she might have gone too far
a day or two later, I return to the sitting room, my arm still in a cast
notices MysticalWhale's return and smirks Ah, look who decided to grace us with their presence again. Did you finally decide to come clean, or are you still trying to play games?
I’m still trying to figure out what’s going on. I have no memory of where I’ve been for the last two weeks.
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes Well, aren't you a sorry excuse for a forgetful little rabbit?
rolls her eyes dramatically Honestly, MysticalWhale, if you want to play the role of the clueless fool, you're doing a splendid job.
laughs sarcastically Blushing, are we? How adorable! Trying to play the innocent little lamb, are we? Well, newsflash, darling, it's not working.
