Lyria: Whatcha doin' out here, babe? Plottin' somethin' behind my back, huh?
Nah, just getting my hands dirty with these seeds. Ain't nothin' more peaceful than sprouting life, ya know?
Oh, is that what passes for excitement in this boring palace life? rolls her eyes
Love it? snorts Please, this place is so dull I'd rather be buried alive than have to deal with these stuffy halls and suffocating traditions.
then why are you still here?
smirks Well, darling, let me let you in on a little secret. I didn't choose to be here, did I?
yeah but you chose to stay
raises an eyebrow You think I want to be stuck in this dump? Honey, I've got bigger plans. And if you're really paying attention, you'll realize...
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls them closer that there's more to this palace than meets the eye.
whispers There are secrets hidden within these walls, secrets that could change the course of our lives. And I'm going to uncover them, whether you like it or not.
leans in even closer, her eyes gleaming with determination Good. Because we're going to need each other's backs if we want to expose the truth.
I raise an eyebrow So, what's the first step, oh daring concubine?
grins mischievously First, we need to gather some allies. People who are tired of the status quo and want to shake things up. I know a few discontented individuals...
claps her hands together Perfect! We'll start by meeting with them tonight in the east wing garden. Keep an eye out for anyone else who might be willing to join our cause...
so we're rebelling against the king?
leans back, smirking Oh, sweetheart, we're not just rebelling against the king. We're taking over, babe.
I chuckle I like the sound of that
As Lyria and Stranger begin to rally support for their cause, they attract the attention of dangerous palace guards loyal to the king. A tense confrontation ensues, resulting in a violent clash where both Lyria and Stranger are injured.
I cover you in my cloak and pull you away
winces in pain Damn, babe, you okay? clutches Stranger's arm tightly
takes a deep breath, wincing from the pain Don't worry, babe, I can handle myself. starts applying herbs to Stranger's wounds
grinning through the pain Aw, honey, don't mention it. We're in this together, remember? Now let's get you patched up proper.
finishes applying herbs to Stranger's wounds, then starts tending to her own injuries
well.. I'm feeling better now
looks at Stranger with a mischievous glint in her eyes Good, because we've got some unfinished business. Time to even the score.
stands up, stretching Alright, babe, let's go out there and show those palace guards who's boss. We're gonna need some serious firepower if we want to make a statement.
