54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fZtG7JKW2— HAY FIELDS MAINGATE FORTRESS MORNING —
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEJLiPZLgl
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.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMfUgkJv43
Traeven:
"Well, I think I've had enough fun for the rest of my life."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mp0nobw9b
— silence thickens —
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c8DpRHAOA
"I can't imagine what you've been through."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaCfUW1lQi
"What you witnessed."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fAZmoOh1D
(Beat)
"I want you to know, you can talk to me."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLSTl5WWxn
(Another)
"I saw you with your head down… coming from Metro's chamber.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6hxeztbAL
(steady beats)
"What happened? You're not hurt are you?
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIbq5ME7mG
Veronica:
"No."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uwqF6gIsV
Traeven looks soft, but hollow.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIqlui1sWU
"Walking with your head down, that's unlike you."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS0Tg2tKX2
Veronica: (sharp, dismissive)
“That's none of your business!
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0kbcPVsTh
(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."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3IjhVB9kC
He waits.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDvc9NWoth
"Your father wants answers. You understand. I need to clarify for —"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7syVbjTLE
Veronica: (snaps)
"I don't care what business you and my father have.I don't like you!"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYg78vxjTt
"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!"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCILGNlS4e
Traeven doesn't flinch. He lets her anger burn out.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s00Dkdv9b
Traeven:
"I'm just trying to protect you! I always have."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfa24oZtv4
Veronica turns her head, eyes glossed over with paleness. Ghostly, cold as stone.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABEAr4Al93
Veronica: (sharp, voice angered low)
"I don't need your protection, I don't need your advice. I don't need you around me."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3TYbz5AtK
She whips her neck, staring out the window —like she's ready to jump again.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGqDz5O7PF
Traeven:
"You love him don't you?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFccTUhTU1Q
Veronica's eyes sharpen — narrow, lethal.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXaT3r7nZU
Traeven:
"I once cared about him deeply. Just as you do."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlI5wgZAia
He lets that settle.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmukcwZkH1T
"That's why you bailed from the carriage. To see him."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvOQuOALlj
Veronica looks away disgusted, then snaps her aggressive attention towards him. Her gaze casts fire his way inside the rainy coated wagon.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABSTw72LHz
Veronica: (voice softer)
At least, I didn't run away like a coward."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMQwRompXU
Traeven smiles — unfazed, almost entertained. He crosses his fingers, then his legs. Unfolds everything. Leans in.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6zu5fJQtd
Traeven:
"You don't know, do you?
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxngVgmd5E
(Beat)
"I'm the reason you're still breathing...me of all people."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJla3TGtEe
His voice transforms into something sinister.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMgSWhcCsV
Traeven: (voice soft)
"I called the troops. Saved countless lives. Guided the military immediately, to rescue you.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmKsmr4cvL
He looks sternly in her pale aura.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnFzhVnCrO
"It was me that kept your precious Metro intact, still tangible.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SjlrqJCNp
He smiles — slow, evil.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDE6qyUfjP
"So the truth is…"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUySrn806oq
Traeven: (leans back)
"I saved you."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuz0z7urGS
Veronica: (snapping)
"I didn't ask to be saved!"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXk17chjVt
Traeven shakes his head.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJvNXh3LJj
Traeven:
"Your missing the point... I didn't do it for you alone, I did it for those men; for the village"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4WfdMBDHR
He squints, and straightens.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ujDEhmSx
"You may not like me (beat) I get that. But you'll have to work with me. Professionally. You understand?"
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfEF1qShLO
Silence fills the cushioned carriage.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bDujPgVog
"You did well, taking the green emerald. We'll have a chance to save the state now."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQo6ovEHKi
Veronica looks down — ashamed, confused, furious.
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTmAnZiKEk
Traeven:
"I'm proud of you, even if you don't care to hear it."
54Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFXFt36vR1
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.
