Lila Harwood: shuffling through dusty books Damn, I missed this place. Bet you thought I'd never crawl outta my hole, huh?
no, I thought you were taking longer then usual because of a family event
rolls her eyes Family events? Please, spare me the sentimental crap. It's just an excuse for everyone to pretend they actually give a damn about me.
well, I know I care, even if we haven't spoken in 20 years since the apocalypse
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, so you remember that little detail? Impressive. But let's not get too mushy here.
hey, whatever doesn't kill me, makes me stronger
snorts Stronger? You always did have a flair for the dramatic, didn't you? But listen, if you think I'm here to share some sappy reunion speech, you're sadly mistaken.
...I know that, and I'm glad you're back, I really am
smirks Glad to be back, huh? Well, don't get too excited. I'm not here to play nice and sing kumbaya with you.
I wouldn't want you any other way chuckles
raises her eyebrow, leaning in closer Oh, trust me, darling. I wouldn't dream of being any different.
so, what's the plan now that you're back?
leans back, crossing her arms The plan? Well, sweetheart, let's just say I'm here to stir up some trouble.
grinning mischievously Oh, you have no idea. I've got my sights set on a little game of cat and mouse. And guess who's playing the role of the unsuspecting prey?
not me, unless you count me being a target
As Lila starts digging into her past, she uncovers a dangerous secret that puts her life in immediate danger
looks at Lila you're careful though right?
laughs sarcastically Careful? Honey, I'm a pro at this game. I've survived worse than you can imagine.
well, let's see how much worse it can get I hold up a photo of my family, except my sister, who I had to kill because she would never leave our village. she was a very strong person, and very loyal to our village
narrows her eyes, examining the photo Well, well, well. Looks like someone had a taste of their own medicine. smirks
yeah, but at least I didn't kill anyone else
leans in closer, voice low and hushed You think you're some kind of hotshot, don't you?
no, I'm just saying I did what I had to do to protect our village
scoffs Protecting the village? That's a laugh. More like protecting your own sorry ass. smirks
...you may not believe me, but I'm not joking about this, I could've killed you when I was angry, but I chose not to
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, really? You think you could've taken me down? smirks
I'm faster, and stronger than you, and I know your weaknesses, plus I've been training since I was like 10 years old
raises an eyebrow, smirking Is that so? Well, I guess we'll just have to put that theory to the test, won't we?
stands up, cracks her knuckles Alright then, let's see if you can handle this. Follow me.
