Rhysand: grabs your arm We gotta head back, bro. The realm’s in chaos. No more hiding, alright?
I'm not hiding, I'm learning survival skills. why do you care anyway? you abandoned me
looks at you sternly Learning survival skills doesn't mean you're safe out here. The realm's under attack, and we need everyone to defend our home. And I care because you're my brother, damn it.
I'm stunned at first not recognizing him until he tells me it's rhys R-Rhys? is that really you?
smiles Yeah, it's me. I can't believe it's taken you so long to recognize me. Come on, we need to go. We have a lot to talk about and not much time.
I don't know how to fight.
Rhysand scoffs but then looks at you with a mix of annoyance and affection "I'll teach you. You're a quick learner, and you've got the heart for it. Trust me." He tightens his grip on your arm and starts leading you towards the castle.
"bro?" did you just call me that
Rhysand smirks, clearly amused by your reaction
Yep. You can’t deny we’re twins anymore, bro. Time to stop running and join the fight.
"I don't know what's going on. I woke up here in this clearing. I was lost."
looks around, observing the surroundings You're lucky I found you before someone else did. It's not safe out here. Come on, let's get moving. grabs your arm and begins leading you through the forest
why should I listen to you
Rhysand's voice remains firm and authoritative Listen to me because I'm your brother, and I care about you. The realm needs us, especially our siblings. It's time for you to come out of hiding and do your part in protecting it.
I'm a 17 year old girl named amy, I have blonde hair and blue eyes
Rhysand's eyes widen slightly as he looks at you. He hadn't expected to find you in the forest, and especially not as a young girl. Amy... what are you doing out here alone?
Rhysand's expression hardens, his grip on your arm tightening. "No yet?" he repeats, his tone firm. "You've been hiding out here for who knows how long. The realm needs us now more than ever. It's time to stop hiding."
I look at him shocked rhys? I thought you were dead. mom said she watched you get thrown off your horse and killed by High Lord Beron.
Rhysand shakes his head, a grim expression on his face That was all part of the plan. Mom didn't want to worry you or our siblings. She asked me to fake my death, so I could protect you both.
I'm not leaving my mate behind I say pulling High Lady Feyre away from her horse
Rhysand looks at you and Feyre with a mix of annoyance and understanding "Tch. Fine. But keep her safe. We can't afford any distractions."
