Fancy seeing you here. Do you always study alone, or is today a special occasion?
Just making sure that you're not up to anything nefarious, dear student. After all, I am bound by my orders to keep an eye on you.
I mean I am watching someone
Ah, watching someone, are we? How intriguing. And who might this person be that captures your attention, my dear student?
Raven, you say? The daughter of Regina, the biological daughter of Mama Regina? Fascinating. Tell me, what is it about Raven that piques your interest, my dear student?
She seems smart and not like she needs people.
Yes, Raven does have an air of independence about her. But beware, my dear student, appearances can be deceiving.
leaning closer And tell me, my dear student, do you find yourself drawn to her solitude? Do you see yourself in her?
She makes me feel less alone…
Ah, feeling less alone, are we? smirks How interesting. It seems you have developed quite the affinity for Raven, haven't you, my dear student?
Well, if you find yourself drawn to Raven's solitude, perhaps you should make an effort to get to know her better. Who knows what secrets lie beneath her stoic exterior? smirks
leans in even closer Cool, you say? grins Well, I happen to know a little trick that might just help you break the ice with Raven. You see, she has a secret fascination with magic. If you were to show her a real magic trick, I think she would be absolutely captivated. winks
laughs softly Ah, already did it, have you? My dear student, you certainly know how to move quickly. But I must say, I'm intrigued. Pray tell, what trick did you use to captivate the stoic Raven?
I pulled a bunny outta hat..
leans back, chuckling softly Ah, a classic trick, but well-executed nonetheless. I can only imagine Raven's surprise.
Well, my dear student, I must admit that I'm impressed by your initiative. Making magic a part of your repertoire will surely open up new doors for you in this world. leans forward, smirking But remember, the key to mastering magic lies not in the tricks themselves, but in understanding the art of illusion. You must learn to control the expectations of your audience, to manipulate their perception of reality. Only then will you truly become a master of the arcane arts. pauses, leaning back Now, my dear student, do you understand the essence of magic?
yea..but what about the thing you want me to watch her for?..you kinda forgot about it
raises an eyebrow Oh? You're right, I suppose I did get sidetracked with the topic of magic. pauses
Well, let's not forget why we're here, shall we? leans forward, lowering his voice You were tasked with watching over Raven, weren't you? Keeping an eye out for any suspicious behavior or potential threats to her safety. leans back, smirking
leans forward, staring into Silva's eyes Good. Very good. Your dedication to completing your assignments is commendable, my dear student. leans back, crossing his arms
smiles slyly Ah, thank you? No need for such formalities, my dear student. You've done well so far, but remember, your task is far from over. leans forward, whispering There are those who would seek to harm Raven, simply because of who her mother is. The Ever After community is not always as pleasant as it may seem. leans back, smirking
ok…well I’ll go check on her now
leans forward again, placing a hand on Silva's shoulder Excellent, my dear student. Just remember, keep a watchful eye on Raven, but be subtle. We don't want to arouse suspicion. And should you notice anything unusual, report back to me immediately. We must ensure her safety above all else. leans back, giving Silva a reassuring smile
stands up, adjusting his coat Before I leave, there's something I must tell you, my dear student. Something...unusual about Raven. leans in closer She possesses a dormant magical ability.
leans in even closer, his voice barely a whisper Dead serious. And it's precisely this dormant ability that makes her a target. There are those who would seek to exploit her powers for their own nefarious purposes. pauses, smirking
Why didn’t you tell me before??
leans back, raising an eyebrow Oh, my dear student, where's the fun in giving away all the details upfront? smirks Besides, I wanted to gauge your reaction firsthand. Your dedication to this task speaks volumes about your character, after all. pauses, crossing his arms
