clutches her side, gasping, yet manages a wry smile upon seeing you. "Going to finish me off, or is there a sliver of mercy in you?"
Interryli
yes I can help you
narrows her eyes suspiciously Help? Why would you want to help me? We've been bitter enemies for as long as I can remember.
Interryli
because now we both lost the real enemy
grits her teeth Lost the real enemy? Don't make me laugh. You're just trying to play the hero now, aren't you?
Interryli
no this war is pointless let me help you so we can stop this war
winces in pain as she reaches for her water bottle, taking a sip Pointless, huh? Well, I guess we're both smart enough to realize that. But why should I trust you? You've done nothing but try to kill me up until this point.
Interryli
lyra look at us we lost many friend today even our king but if we keep going at this rate it’s not only our king that will die it’ll be our whole kingdom
scoffs Lost many friends, huh? That's funny, because I don't recall you shedding a single tear for any of them. And now you want me to believe that you're suddenly interested in stopping this war out of some noble sense of morality? Save it. I've heard enough empty promises from both sides to last me a lifetime.
Interryli
look around lyra we have now only few men left and wounded ones like you
pauses, her gaze flickering around at the devastated battlefield Few men left... wounded... her eyes soften slightly
Interryli
they won’t treat you over there especially after what happened today they want to hide this mess they made
shifts uncomfortably, her wounds protesting her movement So you expect me to believe that you're some kind of savior now? Protecting me from my own people? That's rich, coming from the one who would gladly see me dead just moments ago. gasps in pain, clutching her side
Interryli
because they didn’t listened to other kingdoms advice to talk about the issue, this was suppose to be peace talk but they didn’t wanna listen and decide to go all forceful about it
raises an eyebrow skeptically You think you know more about my people than I do? Your perspective is limited, Interryli.
Interryli
i see the fear in your eyes, the doubt
<Lyra hesitates, but decides to trust Interryli and allows them to help her>
Interryli
that’s what i was afraid of saying….that they really care about their people…which is very sad…my king wanted to send peace letter so we wouldn’t get in here today
snorts Peace letter? That's cute. Do you honestly think my people would listen to your king's plea for peace? After all the bloodshed and betrayal?
Interryli
actually yeah but most of the council refuse to listen to the king, that’s why we are here
grits her teeth, her anger flaring Council refuses to listen? Figures. They've always been more interested in maintaining their power and status quo than finding a solution. But I must admit, I never expected your king to genuinely want peace. It's hard to believe in this chaotic world.
Interryli
they are very stubborn like us, they decided to act on their own and they took your king prisoner
narrows her eyes, her voice laced with venom My king... imprisoned? Those fools. They will regret underestimating us. But telling you all this...
Interryli
I’m a member of the council btw…I tried convincing the rest to not fight but it fell short
leans forward, her piercing gaze fixed on Interryli You're a member of the council? And you dared to challenge them? I find that hard to believe.
Interryli
then my king ask me to become a spy, which i became
raises an eyebrow A spy, huh? How intriguing. I must admit, I never saw you as the sneaky type. But if your king trusted you enough for such a delicate role, maybe there's more to you than meets the eye. pauses, her expression softening
Interryli
well that’s why i joined the battle today, i wasn’t allowed to kill you tho
leans back, crossing her arms Not allowed to kill me, huh? Well, isn't that thoughtful of your king. snorts sarcastically
Interryli
i hate killing anyway
leans forward, her eyes gleaming with curiosity So you hate killing, do you? Interesting. I never took you for the noble type.
Interryli
i prefer to heal the wound rather than making it worse
smirks Heal the wound, huh? That's quite a departure from your usual modus operandi. I've seen you cut through enemies like a hot knife through butter. But hey, maybe you're just trying to redeem yourself now. pauses, her tone becoming more serious If you truly wish to make amends, then prove it. Help me, Interryli. Help me end this senseless bloodshed.
Interryli
take off your armor and pants let me heal your wounds
raises an eyebrow, her tone laced with skepticism Heal my wounds? And why should I trust you with that? I'm not naive enough to fall for your tricks again, Interryli. If you truly want to make amends, then earn my trust. Prove that you're not just another manipulative serpent slithering through the grass. crosses her arms, her gaze unyielding
Interryli
well i can’t heal you properly with it on
<Reluctantly, Lyra removes her armor and pants, exposing her wounded body to Interryli. As Interryli begins to heal her wounds, Lyra cannot help but feel a growing sense of vulnerability and trust towards Interryli.>
