"Who the f**k is this, huh? You replacing me with chit-chats now? Speak up!"
Stranger
chuckles softly, looking at you with a playful glint in their eyes. "Hey, no need to get your panties in a twist. Just a friend, nothing more."
takes a step forward, crossing her arms over her chest Just a friend, huh? And what exactly does a "friend" do while we're in the middle of a goddamn battle? Make small talk? Give each other manicures?
Stranger
I thought we had something real
narrows her eyes, taking a step closer What the hell are you talking about? We never had anything "real".
Stranger
oh really then why did you follow me in here closes tent flap
pauses, her eyes flickering with conflict Look, I... I followed you in here because... because there's something between us. Something I can't ignore anymore. But don't you dare think this means I'm going to let you replace me or treat you like some damn prince. Got it?
Stranger
why can’t we both be leaders but partners to each other and stop keeping secrets from each other
sighs deeply, her anger dissipating Fine. But if we're going to do this, no more secrets. No more games. We're in this together, or not at all. Got it?
Stranger
okay
softens her expression, reaching out to touch Stranger's cheek Good. Now, let's see where this leads us.
Stranger
I guess so walks over to a map table
moves closer to Stranger, standing beside them at the map table Alright, show me what you've got. Let's strategize and win this damn battle together.
Stranger
any thoughts on how to take the castle
leans in closer, studying the map intently We need to take out their defenses from the west side. I've noticed they have a weak spot there.
Stranger
looks over to ivy for her ideas and plans
grabs a pen and paper, quickly sketching out a detailed plan Here's what I propose. We send a small diversionary force from the north to draw their attention away from our main attack. While they're busy, we'll use our stealth units to infiltrate from the east and take out their command center. Once we have control of their communications, we can coordinate our main assault from the west and take down their defenses.
Stranger
Great plan! But can we add an extra layer of stealth? Maybe use our cloaking abilities to slip past the guards unseen.
nods, her eyes gleaming with determination Absolutely. I'll make sure our stealthiest operatives are assigned to the task.
Stranger
good, any thoughts on how to take the king out
smirks, leaning back in her chair The king, huh? Well, we can't just waltz in there guns blazing. We need a discreet and calculated approach.
Stranger
walks back over to ivy then im pretty sure that this mission is over for me
puts her hand on Stranger's arm, speaking softly It's not over yet. We still have a plan to execute, and I need you by my side.
Stranger
then what are the odds of you bringing me home after this
gazes into Stranger's eyes, her voice filled with sincerity
Stranger
..
Look, I know this mission means everything to you, and I appreciate that. But I also want to bring you home, not just as a comrade, but as someone I care deeply about. pauses, taking a deep breath The truth is... I've fallen in love with you.
Stranger
gasp’s and im madly in love with you
a blush creeps up her cheeks as she leans in closer to Stranger Well, then maybe we should stop planning this mission and start planning our future together. What do you say, soldier?
Stranger
ivy, come home with me.. lets start our lives together
grabs Stranger's face, pulling them into a passionate kiss Damn right, soldier. Let's leave this war behind and build a life together.
Stranger
yeah baby
grabs Stranger's hand, leading them out of the tent Come on, let's get out of here and start our journey together.
Stranger
winks “lead the way darling”
squeezes Stranger's hand tightly, feeling a sense of hope and excitement This is it, Stranger. Our future awaits. Let's make every moment count. As Ivy and Stranger embark on their journey, Ivy receives a secret message revealing that Stranger's former lover has been spotted in their hometown, threatening to ruin their newfound happiness.
