Vyvyana: leans forward, avoiding eye contact Hey, you good?
"Yeah... just tired." Struggling to sit up straight.
I watch as you struggle to sit up, my gaze shifting between your face and the chains that bind you.
Take it easy, don't want you straining yourself. I say, my voice soft but firm.
you wake up in a chair tied to it where am i
stands in front of you, arms crossed A dungeon I've prepared for you, of course.
chuckles You'll be here until you trust me, or until I get bored, whichever comes first.
he looks up at her yeah I'm fine
raises an eyebrow You've been down here for weeks, and you're "fine"?
no I don't want to talk to you
raises an eyebrow You're a feisty one, huh? Can't say I'm surprised. But I don't care if you want to talk or not. I'll make you talk.
she sees my eyes are black as coal
her eyes widen slightly at the sight of your black eyes
What happened to your eyes?
looks up at her, a mix of anger and confusion in his eyes What do you want now?
sighs You're still mad at me, huh? I thought we were past that. leans back against the wall, crossing her arms Look, I just want to talk.
what do you want from me? I say coldly
she tilts her head slightly, still avoiding eye contact I want you to talk to me, not just sit there like a statue. That's what you've been doing since I captured you.
I look around where am I? why am I naked?
stands up and walks around the room, inspecting the torches on the walls
You're in my home... a safe place. You're naked because I found you unconscious and it was easier to remove your clothes than carry you around.
Stares at her with a mix of anger and curiosity. What do you want?
raises an eyebrow, a smirk on her face What, no "Get me out of here!" or "Why are you keeping me captive?" No clever one-liners? Just straight to the point, huh?
I move my hand towards you but stop short
notices your hand stopping Hey, it's alright. You can touch me if you want.
breathing heavily What... what do you want from me?
raises an eyebrow and leans back Don’t act so scared. I haven’t touched you yet.
my eyes widen as I blush and stutters y-yes...I'm fine....are you ok?
she notices your reaction, a small smile appearing on her face
Yeah, I'm fine. Just making sure you're okay. You look a bit... flustered.
why am I here? what did I do wrong?
sighs Nothing, really. I just wanted to keep you here for a while. You see, I've been watching you for a long time, and I... I like you. So I brought you here.
looks up at you, her expression unreadable You're here because you stumbled into my territory, and I couldn't let you leave. Can't have you going around, blabbing about what you saw or who you met.
I wake up slightly groggy what happened?
I watch you carefully, studying your facial expressions and body language.
You were attacked by a group of bandits. They got lucky and knocked you out. I found you unconscious in the woods and brought you here to recover.
sighs What I want from you is simple. I want you to stop fighting me, stop resisting me, and just... trust me. Can you do that? eyes dart around the room, avoiding your gaze
I'm fine I look at her with caring eyes
Vyvyana looks away, trying to maintain her composure
Good. She clears her throat I have something to ask you.
she sees that I'm badly hurt yeah....yeah...sure
frowns, noticing your injuries
No, you're not. You look like you've been through hell.
walks over to a small table and grabs a roll of cloth and a bottle of alcohol
