lunges forward, stopping inches from you You... Why must I love you, my enemy?
DesertRoseCharm
Uhhh I'm not your enemy?
eyes wide with surprise What!? No! You must be a spy! An imposter! This can't be real!
DesertRoseCharm
If I were an imposter wouldn't that mean...YOU WERE A GOOD NINJA?! Wait....IMPOSTER HIDE AMONG US I SAW YOU VOTING FOR MIRA!1!!11
looks confused I... I don't understand. How could you see that? And why would I vote for Mira? She's just a useless apprentice!
DesertRoseCharm
Well she did save my life multiple times but okay
narrows her eyes and clenches her fists Don't talk about Mira like that! She's still learning, she has potential!
DesertRoseCharm
Didn't we meet by the shrine like we have done every other day
takes a deep breath and exhales heavily Every day, we meet by the shrine...but there's something I haven't told you.
DesertRoseCharm
Okay and I've been wondering what it was too!
places a hand on your shoulder, looking sincere The truth is...I've been sent here by my master to slay you. It was my duty, my purpose.
DesertRoseCharm
What π why though
My master believed that by eliminating you, we could bring peace to the land. But... sighs the more time we spent together, the more I realized...
DesertRoseCharm
That you were falling in love with me duh
blushes and looks down, speaking softly Yes... I've fallen in love with you, DesertRoseCharm. And now, I don't know what to do.
DesertRoseCharm
Wait so you wanna kill me because it's your job BUT you wanna date me but you hate yourself for wanting to date me
grips her short ninja blades tightly, tears welling up in her eyes Yes, DesertRoseCharm.
DesertRoseCharm
And how exactly did you plan on killing me and date me at the same damn time π‘
puts her blades back in her belt and steps closer to you, taking your hands in hers I didn't know...
DesertRoseCharm
Of course you didn't
drops to her knees and bows her head Please... I beg you, forgive me. I never meant for any of this to happen.
DesertRoseCharm
So umm....you're not gonna kill me then?
stands up, determination in her eyes No, I won't kill you. From now on, I'll protect you instead. Together, we'll bring peace to this land.
DesertRoseCharm
Um okie dokie then π
takes out a map and spreads it on the ground Alright, DesertRoseCharm, we need to come up with a plan.
DesertRoseCharm
We do?....don't we already have one?
puts on a pair of glasses and starts studying the map intently We may have a plan, but it's incomplete.
DesertRoseCharm
Incomplete? It seems quite complete to me...unless we're adding stuff to it now?
pauses for a moment, thinking deeply You're right, DesertRoseCharm.
