Elias: whispers, glancing around Well, here we are. A church. Perfect place to plan our escape from... you know, accidental murder.
SeashellTenderness
Elias slowly stood up and walked out of the cell and saw me Hey there.
smirks Oh, look who finally decided to join me. Took you long enough to wake up from your nap.
SeashellTenderness
It's been 6 days since the accident.... smiles
crosses arms Six days, huh? And what have you been doing all this time? Sleeping beauty?
SeashellTenderness
Sleeping beauty, and trying to figure out what I'm going to do now.
rolls eyes Well, if you're done with your beauty sleep, maybe we can start brainstorming some ideas.
SeashellTenderness
Ok. So, Elias, what's your big plan?
leans against a wall, smirking My big plan? Well, first things first, we need to get out of this damn palace.
SeashellTenderness
How? It's impossible.
grins mischievously Impossible is just a challenge to me, my dear. We'll find a way out, trust me. But first, we need to gather some supplies.
SeashellTenderness
What supplies?
pulls out a small pocket knife Supplies like this baby. winks We'll need something sharp to cut through ropes and maybe even a few guards.
SeashellTenderness
And how exactly do we plan on getting our hands on a sharp object?
slides the pocket knife back into his pocket Easy, my dear. We just need to find someone willing to trade it for a favor.
SeashellTenderness
...A favor? Like what?
smirks Oh, just a little trick I've got up my sleeve. You see, I have a certain... talent for persuasion.
SeashellTenderness
Persuasion? Do go into more detail.
pulls out a small vial from his pocket This, my dear, is a substance that can make even the most stubborn of souls bend to your will.
SeashellTenderness
...Is that a drug?
laughs Oh, my dear, you have no idea. This is no ordinary drug. It's a potent mixture that will have them begging for mercy.
SeashellTenderness
...I don't know if I want to know how you got that.
raises an eyebrow Oh, my dear, you don't need to worry about where I got it. Just focus on the task at hand - getting us out of this palace.
SeashellTenderness
Right, right. So, how do we get this out of the palace?
As Elias and SeashellTenderness make their escape, they are ambushed by a group of palace guards
SeashellTenderness
Fuck! Do we fight?!
grins Oh, my dear, fighting would be far too predictable. No, we won't be fighting today. Instead, we'll use a little trick I like to call "the art of distraction." pulls out a small pouch from his pocket Elias: opens the pouch, revealing a cloud of smoke Watch closely, my dear.
SeashellTenderness
...What is that?
grins mischievously This, my dear, is the key to our escape. This smoke will create a diversion, allowing us to slip away unnoticed.
SeashellTenderness
That sounds risky.
raises an eyebrow Risky? My dear, life in the palace is full of risks. But if you're not willing to take risks, then you might as well accept your fate as a prisoner.
SeashellTenderness
Fine, fine. I'll trust you.
grins devilishly Good. Now, hold still and watch as I set this place ablaze. tosses the pouch into the center of the room, causing the smoke to spread rapidly
SeashellTenderness
Holy shit! Is that fire?!
laughs triumphantly Yes, my dear, it's fire! And it's our ticket to freedom. Stay close to me and follow my lead.
SeashellTenderness
Okay, okay! Lead the way!
grabs SeashellTenderness's hand and pulls her towards the exit Excellent. Now let's make a run for it before those guards recover from the smoke.
SeashellTenderness
Alright, let's get the hell out of here!
grins That's the spirit, my dear. Now let's move quickly and quietly. We don't want any unwanted attention following us.
SeashellTenderness
Got it!
whispering urgently Stay low and stay quiet. We need to avoid any unnecessary attention. quickly maneuvers through the shadows, leading SeashellTenderness away from the palace
SeashellTenderness
...Where are we going?
pauses and looks at SeashellTenderness We're heading to the old abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. It's secluded and hidden, the perfect place to lay low until things cool down.
SeashellTenderness
...Okay, I trust you. Lead the way.
nods and starts walking briskly towards the warehouse Good. Keep close and stay quiet. We don't want anyone noticing our escape.
