37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo9j2bCi0w— HAY FIELDS MAINGATE FORTRESS MORNING —
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGP6xpFGTZ
Morning rain patters softly against the carriage — a steady cold drizzle. The wheels roll through wet earth with a low, tired groan. Inside, Traeven and Veronica sit across from each other in silence that isn't peaceful. Veronica keeps her eyes narrow, watching the rain slide down the glass in thin trembling lines. Her hands are clasped.
Traeven watches her — not openly, but with a quiet, calculating interest he never bothers to hide. The gemmed staff rest beside him, its faint glow now gone in the morning grey.

Finally Traeven.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6UvAnAxtQ
Traeven:
"Well, I think I've had enough fun for the rest of my life."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJt8mpUGLx
— silence thickens —
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvFNSLaqKb
"I can't imagine what you've been through."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqmG8yiTtm
"What you witnessed."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHg9v3CBtD
(Beat)
"I want you to know, you can talk to me."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsixuD7YTV
(Another)
"I saw you with your head down… coming from Metro's chamber.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJIAFwhcw6
(steady beats)
"What happened? You're not hurt are you?
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6FgsLC3uQ
Veronica:
"No."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvO0rVLmzc
Traeven looks soft, but hollow.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11DVqmAUCg
"Walking with your head down, that's unlike you."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGY4duddTx
Veronica: (sharp, dismissive)
“That's none of your business!
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpSlpl3c0O
(Lots of beats)
Traeven:
"I wouldn't push or pry, if your father hadn't asked me to oversee his operations, to handle things on this side of the estate."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM1UV8Oa4m
He waits.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDPGlaN30g
"Your father wants answers. You understand. I need to clarify for —"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vf9hIpsIL
Veronica: (snaps)
"I don't care what business you and my father have.I don't like you!"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBbIxveIc8
"You follow me around like I'm supposed to care about what you have to say! I DON'T! Leave me alone, and stop talking to me!"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxr7uJ0kpA
Traeven doesn't flinch. He lets her anger burn out.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwGAwbvaw3
Traeven:
"I'm just trying to protect you! I always have."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hWECz5qSh
Veronica turns her head, eyes glossed over with paleness. Ghostly, cold as stone.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXEi3A0EbL
Veronica: (sharp, voice angered low)
"I don't need your protection, I don't need your advice. I don't need you around me."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3mpRL8BFD
She whips her neck, staring out the window —like she's ready to jump again.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHD7dHYqmh
Traeven:
"You love him don't you?"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAm96Nkazo
Veronica's eyes sharpen — narrow, lethal.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHJGLIfk0H
Traeven:
"I once cared about him deeply. Just as you do."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVODse2BKoa
He lets that settle.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXvfK1nbn2
"That's why you bailed from the carriage. To see him."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKpj9Tx1Yy
Veronica looks away disgusted, then snaps her aggressive attention towards him. Her gaze casts fire his way inside the rainy coated wagon.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CLeNXCTnF
Veronica: (voice softer)
At least, I didn't run away like a coward."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr75ckW6ppw
Traeven smiles — unfazed, almost entertained. He crosses his fingers, then his legs. Unfolds everything. Leans in.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd09HSk4SDD
Traeven:
"You don't know, do you?
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEJYApEPt4
(Beat)
"I'm the reason you're still breathing...me of all people."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfBO7DIlim
His voice transforms into something sinister.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXLepW4O8M
Traeven: (voice soft)
"I called the troops. Saved countless lives. Guided the military immediately, to rescue you.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQkDhQqzqN
He looks sternly in her pale aura.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpfAgpBweF
"It was me that kept your precious Metro intact, still tangible.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMuEZnMrMm
He smiles — slow, evil.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54L8XuOolc
"So the truth is…"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlXQEclhwd
Traeven: (leans back)
"I saved you."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kl3WZ5l5u
Veronica: (snapping)
"I didn't ask to be saved!"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG0qbUblrg
Traeven shakes his head.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe55Oiwj9ar
Traeven:
"Your missing the point... I didn't do it for you alone, I did it for those men; for the village"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdCT1wGHCv
He squints, and straightens.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuySlnLWaj
"You may not like me (beat) I get that. But you'll have to work with me. Professionally. You understand?"
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNCT9MhWuV
Silence fills the cushioned carriage.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0stoDIbKrU
"You did well, taking the green emerald. We'll have a chance to save the state now."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRRNQkm17n
Veronica looks down — ashamed, confused, furious.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNuYgD1byM
Traeven:
"I'm proud of you, even if you don't care to hear it."
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxYobrQPS0
Rain drops slide off the rolling red carriages exterior. Its wheels keep moving quickly through wet puddles of gravel and mud. The sky is grey, dark, and cloudy.
