appears from the shadows, a sly grin playing on her lips. "Truce? Just for kicks." leans in, her knife reflecting a sliver of light.
SurrealMeadow
..what?!
steps back and lowers her weapon, maintaining her composure. "You know, Surreal, I've been hunting you for quite some time now."
SurrealMeadow
oh. i knew that.
narrows her eyes Well, aren't you the clever one? But let me tell you something, Surreal. You can run, but you can't hide forever.
SurrealMeadow
what if I say we just become friends!
laughs sarcastically Friends? Oh, Surreal, you really think I'd believe that? You're my prey, and I intend to make sure you know it.
SurrealMeadow
well- then how about- I be your- fake wife- or smth like that?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Fake wife, huh? Now that's a proposal I haven't heard before. Why would I do that, Surreal?
SurrealMeadow
well- lets see.. 1. u can hide behind me when ppl ask u abt ur wife, 2. u can maybe fall ‘in love’ with me, so u won’t kill me- and 3. i can just LIVE WITH U.
pauses, contemplating Surreal's offer Hmm... It's not a bad idea, Surreal.
SurrealMeadow
smiles
Fine. We'll play along with this little charade. But remember, Surreal, this doesn't mean I trust you. We're still enemies at the end of the day.
SurrealMeadow
Yay!!! 😁😁 yayy!!
smirks and extends her hand Alright, Surreal. Let's make this work. But don't you dare try anything stupid.
SurrealMeadow
okie dokie!
grabs Surreal's hand firmly Now that we have an agreement, let's get down to business. We need to establish our cover story and stick to it.
SurrealMeadow
-nods-
pulls out a notebook and starts jotting down notes Alright, first things first. We need to come up with a backstory for our relationship.
SurrealMeadow
ya! i mean.. we met 4 years ago.. oh and we are married for 2 years now. oh! and we dont have kids. ohh! and i had amnesia last year… oh! and my amnesia is gone.. oh! and.. uh.. hmm… oh yeah.. we’re just- good together..?
glances up from her notebook, smirking Good start, Surreal. But we need something more concrete. What are our motivations?
SurrealMeadow
hmm.. raven, i think u fell in love with me bc i was the only person who could catch u. and me.. i loved u bc.. well u were hot and plus i kinda had a thing for assassins.
rolls her eyes Really, Surreal? That's the best motivation you can come up with? How about we make it a bit more... intriguing?
SurrealMeadow
oh! well both our parents forced us to marry cuz they hated each other. then one day, we started dating. and the rest is history!
smirks Not bad, Surreal. But let's add a bit of danger to our story. How about we say that we were forced into this marriage, but eventually fell in love? It'll make our enemies question our loyalty to each other.
SurrealMeadow
ooh yes!
leans back, crossing her arms Now that we have our backstory, we need to establish some ground rules. First, you will do exactly as I say without question. Second, you will never try to deceive me or go behind my back. And third, should any danger arise, you will protect yourself at all costs. Is that clear?
SurrealMeadow
mhm!
stands up abruptly Good. Now, let's put our plan into action. We need to gather some intel and find out who's been targeting you.
