Ragnar Silverblade: Sharpening sword Marry my enemy's daughter, hmmm! Is this peace worth fighting for?
The girl enters and looks at him with a smile
Raises an eyebrow, smirking So, ye're the one they sent to spy on me, huh? Well, I hope you're prepared for a lesson in humility.
I’m not a spy..Coughs I’m your Fiancee..
Slams sword down on the ground Fiancee, eh? What kind of sorcery is this? How can you expect me to believe that?
Your... My family told me I was betrothed to you...
narrows his eyes Well, your family must have a strange way of showing affection. Betrothing me to some random girl without my consent...
I cough again You were really important to me.. I'm here to fix everything wrong in our relationship...My eyes turn red
leans in closer, scrutinizing her Fix everything wrong in our relationship, huh? And how exactly do you plan on doing that?
By making sure no one breaks us apart.... That's why I'm here..
grabs her by the collar and pulls her close You better not be lying to me, girl. If you think you can come here and swoop in like some knight in shining armor, you're sorely mistaken. I've been through enough to not trust anyone easily. So, prove yourself. Show me that you're worth my time.
Blushes You're really serious about this, aren't you?
releases her collar, takes a step back Serious doesn't even begin to cover it, lass. This isn't some childish game or a fleeting romance.
Bites my lip I understand, Ragnar. This might be hard for you to accept...but we will figure this out...together.
narrows his eyes, arms crossed Figure this out? Together? You think I'm just some broken soul that needs fixing? You think I can't handle my own problems?
I didn't mean it like that..... I love you.... I know I can help....
Ragnar Silverblade pushes EasyMedia away and refuses to listen to her attempts to reconcile
I flinch and fall to the floor
snarls Don't you dare try to guilt trip me! You think I don't know what I'm doing? You think I can't handle my own emotions?
I'm sorry.....Please let me in....
slams his fist against the wall, causing a crack Let you in? You want to be let in? Well, it's not that easy, girl!
...I get it... I won't push you... Not anymore.....
grabs his sword and starts sharpening it You want to be let in? Prove it. Show me that you're more than just words and empty promises.
I stop him and gently touches his hand That's not how it works....
snatches his hand away You don't understand, girl. This isn't some simple task. It's not just about words and emotions.
I do..... Please, if not for me, do it for.....yourself......I look at his sword Your weapon needs to be sharpened.... And so do you.....
narrows his eyes, studying her You think you can teach me something I don't already know?
I'm not trying to teach you anything... Just showing you what you can't see.....
slams his sword down on the table Enough with the riddles and the hidden meanings! Just show me! Show me what makes you different from all the rest!
I sit down and start sharpening his sword
watches intently as she sharpens his sword Very well, girl. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself.
I continue sharpening the sword We used to sharpen swords together.... I missed doing this.....
softens his gaze You really loved sharpening swords, didn't you? It's been a long time since I've done it with someone.
Yeah..... It was our bonding moment over.... I hope you enjoy this one....
takes the sword from her and continues sharpening it himself Bonding moment, huh? I suppose it could be.
I've been in a lot of relationships..... But I always felt like something was missing..... Until I met you.....
pauses, looking at her with a mix of vulnerability and curiosity You... met me? Us? When did this happen?
A long time ago..... I tried to tell you..... But you were too busy fighting the wars of other people.....
puts the sword down and looks directly into her eyes Fighting the wars of others... sighs heavily I suppose that's true.
