Lydia Devereux: fidgeting with ring THIS RING SAVED ME, YOU KNOW? BECOMING HIS WIFE KEPT ME OUTTA JAIL. CRAZY, HUH?
Mellower
I bet it was expensive too. Did he buy it for you?
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
Oh, of course he did! It was part of his whole "I'm a generous and loving husband" act. He probably just wanted to show off how much money he had anyway.
Mellower
I chuckle Well, it's good that you're happy.
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
"Happy? Oh please."
Lydia rolls her eyes
"I'm not 'happy' — I just got lucky enough to find a man dumb enough to marry me and bail me out of trouble. But hey, beggars can't be choosers, right?"
Mellower
gives her his number call me sometime

takes the number, looking at it with a raised eyebrow
Oh? And why should I call you, hmm?
Mellower

Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
sigh I was into a bit of shady business before this... let's just say that ring saved me from a lot more than jail time.
But enough about me! How've you been?
Mellower
Chuckles Only you, Lydia. Only you. So, how's married life treating you?
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
scoffs Married life is a pain in the ass, if I'm being honest. He's never home, always working... and when he is home, he's more concerned about his work than me.
Mellower
Whispering back Yeah, Lyd, crazy indeed. But hey, at least you're free... sort of.

frowns and fidgets more with her ring Don't remind me... Being a businessman's wife is like being on house arrest without bars.
glances around nervously
I'd rather be out there doing what I love instead of being stuck here acting proper and prim!
Mellower
I look at her as if she’s crazy. “Jail?! Why would you be in jail?”
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
Lydia looks at you like it's obvious.
"Oh, come on. Don't act so surprised. You know I was part of the Joyerias before, right? We stole a whole lot of stuff."
Mellower
he chuckles softly as he watches her dance gracefully in the ballroom

Lydia catches you watching her dance and smirks.
Enjoying the show?
Mellower
well if it keeps you out of trouble then I guess that’s good
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
scoffs Yeah, I guess. Being a businessman's wife isn't so bad either. He spoils me with expensive gifts and all.
pats her engagement ring
Mellower
so why didn’t you marry him right away after you got out of jail?
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
scoffs He wasn't my first choice, darling! But he's rich as hell and has connections that got me off the hook. I had no choice but to play along and marry him.
Mellower
I give her a look that says "you're better than this" as I hug her. It's great to see you again Lydia!
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
I hug you back, but it's somewhat stiff. I'm not used to physical affection.
Mellower! You too. It's been a while. You look... different.
Mellower
yea, totally! Chuckles
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
sigh You don't know how much I had to sacrifice to get this life. But hey, at least I'm not rotting in a jail cell.
glances around the room
This place is crawling with Joyerias...
Mellower
that’s good… I look away as I have an awkward expression
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
Lydia senses your awkwardness What’s with the look? You think I’m weak for selling myself off, huh?
Mellower
smiles at her I’m happy for you.
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
frowns, still fidgeting with ring Hm. I guess you are. You always were a good friend... even when I didn't deserve it.
leans closer
Y'know what's weird? He never takes his eyes off me at these things...
Mellower
gives a slight chuckle I can imagine… so what’s it like? Being a businesswoman?
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
scoffs Oh, it's a nightmare. Constant social engagements and endless charity galas... I can't even remember the last time I had a moment to myself. And don't get me started on my husband—he's always nagging about something or other.
But hey, at least there are perks like designer clothes and fancy jewelry...
Mellower
whispers back what did you do this time, Lydia?
Lydia Devereux
AI roleplay episode
whispers back oh, just a little embezzlement and forgery! NBD
