Raven: glances around nervously Must you delay me? The child's birthday cannot wait.
Confidentumin
I look at you and stare wait what
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Look, I didn't want to bring this up, but... I'm pregnant. And it's getting hard to hide.
Confidentumin
WHAT
grabs your arm and pulls you into a secluded corner Listen, I need your help. I can't keep this a secret anymore.
Confidentumin
tell me
takes a deep breath I... I don't even know how to say this. But... I'm carrying your child.
Confidentumin
what
bites her lower lip nervously Look, I know it's unexpected, but we can work through this. I just need your support.
Confidentumin
how?
quickly glancing around Okay, here's the plan. We need to find a safe place for me to stay until the baby is born. Somewhere far from prying eyes.
Confidentumin
I grab your hand and lead you to a location on the map this is my safe house
nods approvingly Good, good. Your safe house looks perfect. We'll need to be careful, though. We can't let anyone find out about this.
Confidentumin
I nod ok now go on I will get you some food and supplies
grabs your arm impulsively Wait! Before you go, there's something else I need to tell you.
Confidentumin
what is it?
hesitates, then blurts out I... I've been selling information on the black market.
Confidentumin
what
nervously twirling a strand of hair Look, I know it's not ideal, but it's been the only way I could survive out there.
Confidentumin
why did you tell me then?
Confidentumin feels betrayed and confronts Raven, leading to a heated argument and a rift in their relationship
Confidentumin
are you still working with your old group?
pauses, looking conflicted No, I'm not working with them anymore. They left me feeling trapped and controlled. I had to break free.
Confidentumin
okay so why are you still doing illegal things
runs a hand through her hair, thinking quickly Look, I... I thought it was the only way to survive.
Confidentumin
you could have come to me
stutters nervously I... I didn't want to burden you with my problems. I thought I could handle it on my own.
Confidentumin
I sigh okay just be careful
grabs Confidentumin's hands, pleadingly I promise, I'll be careful. But I also need your help.
Confidentumin
what do you need?
paces back and forth, speaking quickly I need you to help me find a way to make money without putting myself in danger.
Confidentumin
like what
stops pacing and looks at Confidentumin with determination Like starting a small business. Something that we can both manage together.
Confidentumin
like a store
nods excitedly Exactly! A small store where we can sell supplies and goods. It won't make us rich, but it'll give us a steady income and help us survive.
