Accidental Video

[refinedvillian]

[An odd, far away angle isn't the best way to show off a scene but it seems to happen when they community is trying to catch members unaware.

Edgar and Lydia are both inside what looks like a cabin, a fire their only source of light. Though no one knows what the conversation has been up until then, they both look somber.]

I've known of the Legend of the Treasured Sword since I was a kid. During the time I was confined, while inspiring stories of the Star Sapphire within Gotham, I successfully gave him the idea of trying to obtain it. Thanks to him, I didn't need to do any research...but then again, because of that, it's now this troublesome dispute.

...But...even if you somehow get the Treasured Sword, won't you still be of fake social standing in the end...?

...If you think a fake has no worth, then you are greatly mistaken, Lydia. Ever since my past as a street rat, in order for me to be completely free, it is of the upmost necessity that I obtain the title of the Blue Knight Lord. Surely, I'll show you that a fake can be the real deal.

[He moves toward her, holding out his walking stick, catching Lydia by surprise.]

You won't be able to sleep if this burglar has a weapon, right? Take it.

[With it safely in her hands, he moves back into the corner, settling down for the night. Raising her hands, she studies something within her palm before moving to the pot they had in the fireplace. As she pours a cup, her back hides anything she might or might not add as she brings it to Edgar.]

Maybe you'll calm down if you drink this. I only put in some peppermint I got from outside, though.

Oh, thanks.

[Suddenly, he grabs her arm and pulls her forward.]

What exactly did you put in this?

...What do you mean?

You looked like you were secretly planning to put something in there.
...That's careless when you're with a villain.

...Let me go.

I won't. At any rate, you were planning to escape, weren't you?

...Yes! That's right! No matter how much of your pathetic story you tell me, you're still a robber!

...You don't have any instincts of self-defense, do you? You showed that when you were caught by Huskley as well. In this kind of state, no matter how many lives you have, it won't be enough.

...Is this another triumphant threat? Even now, you're still making people obey but...too bad for you. I'm not going to do what you say anymore!

You really just don't get it. There's many ways to get people to do as you as say but you just don't know them...Lady who is ignorant in the ways of the world. You can't even imagine what it's like to be hopeless to the point where you can't even breathe.

You...were that hopeless?

[Finally, he releases her arm.]

...That's right. So don't go. Don't abandon me, Lydia.

...No.

Stop it. I said this before but I won't do anything.

[As she watches, he takes a large drink from the cup.]

[ooc: Red for Edgar, blue for Lydia.]

lalala action spam and all that, a little bit later...

[moonspell]

You just keep going on and on without listening to a single word!

[refinedvillian]

It isn't that I'm ignoring what you say. [Despite everything they had talked about, despite knowing she knows about his less than glamorous past, his smile is almost insufferable.]

I'm only hearing what you refuse to tell me.

[moonspell]

That's just making up your own version of the conversation that didn't happen!

[refinedvillian]

What you don't say is just as important as what you do, when it comes to certain people.

[madeitsquare]

Now what did I just watch exactly?

[moonspell]

[ Perhaps she should wait for Edgar to respond to this. He's the one with the silver tongue after all, but.. ]

Nothing, apparently. I ended up staying.

[madeitsquare]

Uh-huh. And what was that about a sword?

[moonspell]

It's a legendary sword that can only be claimed by someone with the title of Blue Earl Knight. Edgar intends to obtain it with my help as a fairy doctor.

[ Since him not being the real BEK is already pretty much out it should be okay right? ]

[refinedvillian]

[Something that wasn't supposed to post.

Nevertheless, he'll offer a smile.]

It really does intrude on private moments. Don't let any of this worry you. It's just a small disagreement with a partner.

[madeitsquare]

You sure about that?

[material_guy]

Hnnnn. So it's a good thing we didn't go with 'Earl' ain't it?

Video forever

[refinedvillian]

Is it? Becoming the Blue Knight Earl may have been more of a vision but that doesn't mean I'm not an Earl at all.

[material_guy]

[Greed gives a whistle and a clap that's either understated or demeaning.] Confident. But it means you ain't yet.

[moonspell]

For what?

[Video]

[material_guy]

Card names!

[shinjaeba]

How interesting...

[refinedvillian]

Oh, is it?

[shinjaeba]

Incredibly.

[moonspell]

What's more interesting is despite that I've managed to convince myself to stay...

[shinjaeba]

I suppose you didn't want to leave after all.
