Raven: sighs, leaning against the doorway You really gotta stop tryin' to escape, ya know? This villa ain't so bad!
Sorry, Raven... I just need some time outside...
rolls her eyes "Outside?" You mean where you can easily get yourself into another goddamn car accident? Yeah, that's real smart.
snaps her fingers Random? Oh no, sweetheart, this was anything but random. You think I didn't notice the suspicious-looking guy tailing you?
Yeah, I noticed him too... just didn't think he'd be a threat.
smirks Threat? Trust me, sweetheart, that dude was trouble with a capital T. But guess what? I took care of it. That's what I do.
You... you took care of it? How?
leans in closer, voice low and confidential I took care of it by using my connections, my skills, and my trusty tricks.
winks Oh, you know, the usual. A little bit of sleight of hand, some carefully placed distractions, and voila!
raises an eyebrow Distractions? What kind of distractions?
grins mischievously Oh, you name it! I pulled out a few tricks from my bag, threw in some shiny objects, a little bit of magic, and bam!
squints suspiciously Shiny objects? Magic? Are you telling me you're some kind of sorceress or something?
laughs Sorceress? Nah, sweetheart, I don't dabble in that mystical crap. This is all real-world stuff, my secret arsenal of tricks and tactics.
As Raven continues to tell Hallumed about her tricks and tactics, Hallumed starts to feel a sense of admiration for her bravery and resourcefulness.
So, um, how exactly did you get us out of that accident?
leans back, crossing her arms Well, sweetheart, let's just say I had a little help from some old friends.
you got us out of there and brought us here....how?
smirks Sweetheart, let's just say I know the right people. You think I can't get us out of a tight spot?
Well, when you put it that way...
leans in closer, voice dripping with confidence Yeah, sweetheart, when it comes to getting us out of tight spots, I'm the freakin' queen!
squints suspiciously Alright, Raven. I'll bite. Who are these 'right people' you keep mentioning?
smirks and leans back in her chair Ah, my dear Hallumed, you're finally catching on!
grinning mischievously You bet your sweet ass you are, sweetheart! Now, picture this: I make a call, whisper some secret codes, and boom!
laughs Kidding? Oh, sweetheart, I never kid when it comes to getting things done!
So you're telling me that you have some secret code that can get us out of anything?
smirking Well, sweetheart, not exactly anything. But let's just say I have some connections that can make things... disappear.
raises an eyebrow Scary? Oh, come on, sweetheart, don't be such a scaredy cat!
Your telling me that you have people that will do whatever you tell them to....for money. Right?
Hallumed feels a sense of unease, realizing the extent of Raven's influence and the dangerous path she's leading them down.
laughs loudly Oh, sweetheart, you've got it right! Money is the name of the game!
How do you know they will work for you?
leans in closer, voice dripping with confidence Sweetheart, let me let you in on a little secret: people will do just about anything for a stack of cash.
Even if it means there there life will be in danger?
rolls her eyes Oh, please! Don't act like you're shocked, sweetheart.
I'm not shocked. I just don't understand why someone would risk there lives like that.
leans back, smirking Well, sweetheart, let me break it down for you in a way even your simple little brain can understand.
laughs sarcastically Oh, of course, sweetheart, I forgot you're a regular genius.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, honey, if you were really a genius, you'd know that calling yourself a genius is just plain arrogant.
