Lily: raises camera Look who's here! Mr. Sneaky McBlackmail! Ready for your close-up?
dancem
ok let’s cut to the chase
smirks Oh, honey, I'm just getting started! But fine, let's cut to the chase. What's your big plan, Mr. McBlackmail?
dancem
i’m not a stalker or a perv so cut the crap
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, Mr. McBlackmail, spare me the innocence act! You're not here by accident.
dancem
yes i am
narrows her eyes Oh really? Then why did you follow me here? Trying to get a glimpse of my secret stash? Or maybe...
dancem
there is nothing
leans in closer, smirking Nothing, huh? Well, that's what they all say at first. But you know what they say, Mr. McBlackmail...
dancem
i came here because you were talking to yourself again and i wanted to make sure you were ok
tilts her head, feigning surprise Oh, is that so? You actually came here to check on me? Aww, how sweet!
dancem
yeah
gives him a mischievous grin Well, isn't that just adorable? You should get an award for your concern, Mr. McBlackmail.
dancem
no i should get a clue
laughs mockingly Oh, Mr. McBlackmail, you're so clueless! But I guess that's to be expected from someone who thinks following strangers is a great way to make friends.
dancem
i’m not following you i just happened to see you and you were talking to yourself so i wanted to make sure you were ok
pauses for a moment, then smirks Oh, really? Talking to myself, huh? Well, Mr. McBlackmail, you just happened to witness my top secret self-care routine!
dancem
if you need a shoulder to cry on id be happy to listen
pauses, then smirks Cry on someone's shoulder? Oh, Mr. McBlackmail, you're truly desperate for attention! Fine, if it'll shut you up, here's my tears-only hot line: 1-800-LILY-CRY.
dancem
no i meant if you need a shoulder to lean on i’ll be happy to let you use my shoulder
dancem offers his shoulder for Lily to lean on, and she finally opens up about her struggles and secrets
dancem
he sits beside her
smirks, leaning against dancem's shoulder Well, well, Mr. McBlackmail, you sure know how to keep a secret! Alright, since you asked so nicely...
dancem
so what happened
takes a deep breath Okay, Mr. McBlackmail, here's the deal. As you've so kindly offered your shoulder, I'll let you in on a little secret.
dancem
ok go ahead
leans back slightly, looking directly at dancem Well, it all started when I was just a young girl.
dancem
oh?
smirks Oh, it's a juicy story, Mr. McBlackmail. Are you ready for it?
dancem
i’m ready
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Alright, buckle up, Mr. McBlackmail. It all started when I was just a little girl, living in a household full of chaos.
dancem
oh?
waves her hands animatedly Oh, it was a madhouse, Mr. McBlackmail! Shouting, yelling, broken dishes, scattered clothes...
dancem
sounds rough
claps her hands together Rough doesn't even begin to cover it, Mr. McBlackmail! It was like a war zone! And right in the middle of it, me...
dancem
i’m sorry you had to grow up in that
winks No need to apologize, Mr. McBlackmail. Growing up in chaos made me the badass, take-no-prisoners lady you see today!
dancem
it’s a good thing you turned out okay then
raises an eyebrow Oh, you think so, huh? Well, Mr. McBlackmail, let me tell you, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.
