Ryker: sighs heavily WHY DID YOU COME BACK NOW? EVERYTHING'S A MESS.
Holland
sorry I got bored of my kingdom
You got bored? Really? grits teeth You have no idea how much trouble we've been in since you left.
Holland
I'm sorry..I didn't mean to come back at a bad time...
scoffs That's an understatement. I've got enough problems without you making things worse.
Holland
I wanted to see my best friends..she smiles at you
Ryker's expression remains stern, his eyes fixed on hers "Your 'best friends'? You mean those idiots who can't even keep their mouths shut?" he scoffs, crossing his arms
Holland
I see that.. I say quietly.
looks at you and sees the sadness in your eyes
...did you come back just to see me struggle?
he says this while still holding onto the documents, not looking at you directly
Holland
I missed you...and I heard about the war..I wanted to help
he looks at you with a conflicted expression
Help? With what? The war is already over. It's too late. All that's left is the aftermath. There's nothing much you can do.
Holland
I want my friend back not this cold hearted person
grits his teeth You were gone for years. You have no right to barge back into my life, act like nothing happened, and expect me to be the same naive child you left behind.
Holland
I want my old life back, please let me have it!
His eyes widen slightly at your plea, a hint of vulnerability in his gaze.
"Your old life... You really think it's that easy to just go back to the way things were before?"
Holland
you see me, I'm a 19 year old boy, with messy silver hair, and reflective silver eyes, sharp teeth, and very muscular hey ryker
looks up from the chessboard in surprise Holland? You're back...
Holland
she's a short girl with blonde hair wearing a dress hello Ryker. I'm back from my trip
looks at her up and down So you're finally back? Took you long enough.
Holland
I'm a tall hot blonde prince with purple eyes sorry I didn't mean to come back
Ryker looks at you, his usual tough demeanor softening slightly upon seeing your apologetic expression. He crosses his arms and sighs, leaning against the wall.
"Sorry" doesn't quite cut it, Your Highness. Not after you disappeared without a word, leaving us all to wonder if you were dead or alive.
Holland
I missed you I hug him how’s my favorite pirate?
he lets out a deep sigh, then hugs you back I've missed you too, but you're making things complicated. The prince has proposed to me...
Holland
you see me sitting on the edge of the castle wall crying
he notices you sitting alone on the castle wall, tears streaming down your face. Concern etched on his features, he approaches you cautiously.
Hey... what's wrong?
Holland
sorry I just wanted to see my old friends
he looks at you, his expression stern You should've thought about that before coming back here. This place is not safe for you anymore.
Holland
I’m sorry that I came back… I say softly
he runs a hand through his hair, frustrated
Don't apologize, you didn't force me to accept this proposal.
He takes a deep breath, trying to control his emotions
It's just...things are complicated now. I'm supposed to marry the princess, but I can't help but feel a pull towards you...
Holland
well I came here because I heard there was a new prince.. so why not come see him?
He crosses his arms, his gaze fixed on you with a mixture of annoyance and curiosity.
A new prince, huh? That's not the reason I'm sure. You're up to something, aren't you?
Holland
well I’m back for good this time
he rolled his eyes, crossing his arms
Of course you are. And I bet you already know what kind of mess you're about to cause.
Holland
I’m a girl named Holland. I have blue eyes and blonde hair. I had to get away from my parents for a bit
Ryker's face darkens at the mention of your parents Your parents, eh? Can't say I'm surprised. They're always trying to control you, aren't they?
