it was a game of chess , but only two pieces remained on the board. dancing about the other ever so precisely that they narrowly avoided each other at each turn. nevertheless , moves and counter moves could only evide for so long until they came nose to nose once more. only this time , it was not the work of fate that crossed their paths , but rather the knaves own seeking out of the chief justice. the prophecy was not the only concern of hers. but clearly he did not heed the same curiosity based on the tone of his tongue.

❛   and i am not keen on having them.   ❜ depth to her seriousness shines in her voice as the harbinger keeps her eyes on the former. he and furina may live in a bubble , playing roles to keep the reality of what lies outside of fontaine at bay , but arlecchino did not have that luxury. nor did she desire to have it.

❛   i am not here to excuse the actions of childe nor lyney . . .   ❜ even though his trial had been based on naught but falsehoods. arlecchino lets the preceding events roll off her back in the same instant as she brings it to the forefront. there were larger matters at hand. ❛   i am here on behalf of a proposal to offer.   ❜

@sombracat : ❛   snezhevna has passed ,   ❜ there was a eerie monotone that haunted arlecchino's vocals as she spoke to her nearest children. ❛   her miscalculations and blind aggression lead to her downfall.   ❜ events were unfolding at a near alarming rate since the arrival of the traveler , and given a few of her owns seemingly budding friendship with them made the knave uneasy. friendships . . . they were desastrious to say the least. and they only lead to recklessness. and losing any further of her children was not on her radar. so she takes the moment to peer over the three of them , more lynette. ❛   lynney , freminet – would you excuse us for a moment. i wish to speak with lynette alone.   ❜

@erabundus said : ❛   does it bother you that everything you’re selling is fake ?   ❜

it causes her brow to arch in response upon hearing the balladeer the wanderer confess such claims. believing that what she was selling so to speak was fake. perhaps it was easy to see it that way. magic was , after all , not a real means to an end. there were always answers as to how tricks were performed. reasoning behind the curtain one could say. but to think that the knave was selling the lies to unsuspecting people ? the idea nearly causes a never before seen chuckle to befall her lips in the presence of the other.

❛   i am not selling anything that is fake.   ❜ her voice is like a hidden snake watching in wait as their prey comes closer. a sort of darkness that is buried behind the white coat. ❛   the only thing that i am selling , as you put it , is entertainment. that is the type of show my children put forth for the masses. it is up to them to be able to discern how said tricks are done.   ❜ it's then does a near laugh - like huff break between words.

❛   if they want to believe that magic is a real thing , that there is no reasoning or means as to how said thing are done , then that is of their choosing. we merely just create the fun.   ❜

[h4rbnger]

❛   your undertaking of natlan . . . i've heard stories of the pyro nation , that is no small feat.   ❜
