Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

Aarys sighed. "You're right, of course. I'll go make a big scene." She laughed bitterly.

[King Acunasti]

"If that's what it takes." Valentin said with a shrug.

[Eltee]

Help me!!! Her mind screamed indignantly. "I will... Do that, I guess..." Aarys said quietly, and walked back to Mary. "Hey." She said brusquely.

[Duh]

"Yeah?" Mary asked as though nothing had happened before.

[Eltee]

"Perhaps I didn't make myself entirely clear..." Aarys said, calmly if stiffly. "Stop flirting with my fiancée. I hope we understand each other...?" She added hopefully. She really was unsettled by Mary, but there was nothing about her arris actively disliked, apart from her persual if Val. Maybe they could even be friends...

[Duh]

Mary began laughing. "He's not your fiancé."

[Eltee]

"We are engaged to be married." Aarys said, growing annoyed. "Leave it at that. And even if we weren't, we're together."

[Duh]

"And what makes you think I can't change that?" Mary asked with a sly grin.

[Eltee]

"You're wasting your time." Aarys said. "He would never betray me. Never."

[Duh]

"That's what your friend Lyra said about her husband." Mary said in a calm tone. She picked up another crate and began walking towards a separate supply tent.

[Eltee]

Aarys wagged her walk away, jaw hanging open. She walked back to Valentin, a horrified look on her face.

[King Acunasti]

"Hey!" Valentin said, sliding his arm around Aarys' back. He had been talking to a few other rebel soldiers. "Everything worked out?"

[Eltee]

"I said that... She should stay away from you. We're engaged. She said she wouldn't, and... I said to stop wasting her time... That you would never betray me. She said, that's what Lyra thought about her husband, and walked away! What... What..." Aarys babbled nervously. "Ahh! She's like a demon!"

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

Oi, Santa! What 'bout me?

[Kerr]

Spoiler:

She probably is another one of those demon [&@%!] . I say we kill her now save us the trouble later.

[King Acunasti]

"Hmm..." Valentin was trying to hold back a laugh. "A demon? Really?"

[Eltee]

"Well... No... I'm exaggerating. A little." Aarys said. All of the contentedness and peace of mind of the morning had very clearly abandoned her.

[King Acunasti]

"Seriously, you are so damn attractive when you're p*ssed off." Valentin said.

[Eltee]

Aarys sighed. "In your eyes, then, I'll get a lot more attractive if you don't say something to her, okay?"

[King Acunasti]

"Aarys, I don't know what to say!" Valentin chuckled.

[Eltee]

"Either did I! I made an idiot of myself." Aarys said. "She's threatening to try to seduce you. Please! For me. I've never asked anything of you, Val. Please. Do this for me."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin sighed. "Right now?"

[Eltee]

"Not necessarily now, I guess." Aarys said. "Whenever you think it would be appropriate. Just... Don't wait too long."

[King Acunasti]

"But I don't know what I'll say!" Valentin argued.

[Eltee]

"Say it's not okay. You don't share her feelings." Aarys said.
