Rose bolts past Traeven on the staircase, eyes wet, breath broken, running like she's escaping a fire. Traeven stops mid step. His eyes narrow. Time seems to slow, almost freezing, as he climbs the last steps. At the top, Veronica walks toward him with her head down, aura dimmed, moving with purpose. He turns his neck sharply, staring at her with a cold menacing curiosity. She doesn't look up. Traeven watches her pass, then turn towards Metro's chamber door. He opens it.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3rkZhWwa4
Metro tenses instantly.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmxjXC1LKj
Traeven steps inside with a bright unsettling smile.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMmVkVHzUR
Traeven:
"I hope I didn't disrupt anything."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSonEOcHPDW
He looks around the room, hands behind his back, smiling up at the ceiling like he's admiring architecture.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nVUd3DI2q
Then his expression shifts, subtly.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuX1nTPHvu
Traeven:
"Your chamber feels like a wagon just ran through it."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WN4YyFdH4
Metro doesn't blink. He's seeing tunnel vision. Feeling dead inside.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sTwYhlhTH
Traeven paces gently.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5DLHwrz73
Traeven:
“King Theron is out of commission currently. He's gone to the Whispering Village, and has left me in charge of his operations here.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSgNfZvAsC
He tilts his head, then grabs a chair and sets it down in front of Metro.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ovz0FWFCE
He gestures politely.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ62y1oLQv
Traeven:
"May I?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIn5yPj2Hb
Metro keeps staring.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBueyAbM8Mx
Traeven sits anyway — comfortably, elegantly — legs crossed, hands folded on his knees, smiling like he owns the room.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1YnbVOSsM
Traeven:
"Here's the deal…"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacaMAMCjz5
"You have one week, maybe less, to come up with forty thousand quarter blooms of magic leaf."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cZXBEXTs7
(Beat)
"If you don't pay, they will jail you. And then the military will come down hard on our whole village."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwqw9DfWoR
His smile fades into something hardened, honest.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtXdOsVIl1
Traeven:
"We're in debt to the head of The Provinces, not by a little."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV7H9Hp0qq
He leans forward, trying to sound sentimental.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QGvDJpfMJ
"I have a chance to do something extremely special."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7he8ZVkgM
And that's where you come in."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkyeGLMG7X
Metro drops his head. Traeven watches him carefully.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmAHpfZIVK
Traeven:
"I see the bodies, I understand what you're going through."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BDB7SnxFs
'I respect the choices you've made. It's ok to grieve, but you can't stay in the dumps too long. You need to pick yourself up. Remain Strong."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcm3yXbCEl
Metro's shoulders slump slightly.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwAP6Akmbe
Traeven: (voice softer)
"I'm telling you this because I don't want you dragged out of here in chains."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aDyPCIF8T
He sees Metro breaking — so he slips in his trump card.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa0UPEE9ST
Traeven:
"… you look like you've been through the mill. The good news is… that I'm in charge now. Bad news is, you owe a lot, Hasan wants his tax payment.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlgHYsJ6X3
He leans in.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGz0BRkfie
Traeven:
"I'll give you room to breathe. Let you gather what you need. Speak to whoever you need to speak to
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxsP4LWveM
(beat)
… if you tell me what's been happening here."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlAj6vpRyk
Silence fills the chamber room for a moment.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJtudH5YGp
Metro shifts gears.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq7CHSt2Od
Metro:
"Well, I'll need to see Ana. She knows how to work the staff. We can teach the formula.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwI8HWvsUA
Traeven's face goes expressionless. Then he looks deeper, almost vulnerable.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYlTdGyUWP
Traeven:
"I saved you, you know."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw8qmM5IL3
Metro finally looks up.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcDJkE6hbt
Traeven:
"I called for the troops. Your back up.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWBlZjtBPf
'Veronica was gone —"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKhQuzJLWu
He scoffs, waving his hand dismissively.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCtXJCqT0E
"Jumped out. I hadn't noticed her absence until I reached the village gate alone."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyBXygPke5
He laughs, hoping Metro will be entertained.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNLIDWB9rx
Metro looks dead, but confused. Traeven stands, adjusting his suit.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYCP40E8vP
Traeven:
"I'm just curious… on what would possess her to bail from a flying carriage."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzSJOvHIpv
He waits hoping for any reaction.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt2cr2ggMH
Metro gives him nothing.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyLCbZr4Xg
Cold.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQJRu6IT5i
Unimpressed..
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM3d8sb1jZ
Then–
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxJZW1adgB
Metro:(voice soft)
"So you ran..."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78qFMKN7wE
Traven looks a little distraught, but sharpens into a cold glare.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN6jWKs2tC
"I'm a lover, not a fighter, I guess, I wasn't cut out to be the hero."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ud8tW7bfs
Metro looks away at the window, face empty.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVg39GysbN
Metro:
"You know how to talk."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSRo9vRACK
Traeven nods half heartedly, thinking about it.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8twE2zUmN
Traeven:
"Yes."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEnUP8dvVv
He steps toward the door.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL2kL7c6ks
Traeven:
"Rest well. I'm rooting for you."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUak0xwal8y
Traeven exits.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGO2rQrLEN
The chamber door creaks shut.
