Daisy Whitaker

Well, I decided to come back to visit old memories and maybe find some closure. You know, since we never really had a proper good-bye.
Youric
Yeah, I remember. Just didn't expect you to bring that sketchbook. grins wistfully

pauses, looking down at the sketchbook It's funny, isn't it? We both had our own ways of escaping reality.
Youric
Yeah, your art and my music. Both escape hatch's if you will.

Daisy Whitaker
AI roleplay episode
I mean, I get it. Life can be complicated, and sometimes we need to leave to find ourselves. But you didn't even say goodbye. It felt like...
Youric
Like you were abandoned. I know, I know. I'm sorry, Daisy. It was... complicated.

crosses her arms, leaning back Complicated? Is that just your fancy way of saying you couldn't handle the pressure?
Youric
no, no. not that. I'll explain.
Daisy Whitaker
AI roleplay episode
narrows her eyes Fine, explain then. But make it quick and dirty, I don't have all day to listen to your excuses.
Youric
The thing is... I was trying to protect you.
Daisy Whitaker
AI roleplay episode
Protect me? From what exactly? Did you know something I didn't? Were you keeping secrets from me? Spit it out already!
Youric
No, no. nothing like that. Look, there was this guy, right? He was... problematic. Started showing interest in you, big time. I couldn't let that happen.
Daisy Whitaker
AI roleplay episode
Let that happen? Are you saying someone was a threat to me? Who the hell did you think you were, Youric? You had no right to make decisions for me!
Youric
I know, I know. But he was... intense. Wouldn't let go. And you, you were young. I couldn't see you getting hurt.

rolls her eyes and scoffs Young? Please, I was no innocent teenager. I could handle myself just fine. But what's done is done, right?

hesitates for a moment, then walks over and sits down next to Youric Alright, spill the beans. I'm all ears.
Youric

Daisy Whitaker

leans in closer, her voice filled with curiosity Start from the beginning. I want to hear everything. Don't leave anything out.
Youric
Okay, okay. So, remember that guy I mentioned earlier? The one who was interested in you? His name is Victor.
Daisy Whitaker
AI roleplay episode
Victor? That name rings a bell. Was he the one you were hiding from me back in the day?
Youric
Yep, that's the one. Victor Reed. Had a bad reputation, and guess what he does for a living?
Daisy Whitaker

leans back, crossing her arms Well, I'm all ears. Spill the tea, Youric. What exactly did this Victor do?
Youric
He's a... a con artist. Scammed people out of their life savings and disappeared. Nobody knows where he is now.
Daisy Whitaker
AI roleplay episode
Con artist, huh? So you were protecting me from a scammer? I have to admit, Youric, you've got some weird taste in men. sighs
Youric
hey, I thought I was doing the right thing.
Daisy Whitaker
AI roleplay episode
Yeah, well, maybe you were doing the right thing, but you sure as hell weren't doing it right. Hiding me away like some damsel in distress? That's not the way to treat a sister.
Youric
you're right. I fucked up.
Daisy Whitaker

smirks Damn straight you did, Youric. But hey, we all make mistakes, right? We can't change the past, but we can learn from it. So, what did you learn from all this?
Youric
Trust you. Trust your judgement.

nods approvingly Good answer, Youric. Trust is everything, isn't it? So, tell me, are you trustworthy? Can I trust you not to fuck me over again?
