Royal Shadow

[Hellfire]

(It's up to you. Would Isabella fall for Shadow? If so, then yes)


"That is cheating in my opnion." Shadow commented. "I find it more rewarding to look for love. Of course I don't have the problem of being a ruler like you do. Being a low life theif does have its advantages at times."

 

[RavenMist]

(I feel like she would, but probably more likely to deny it. I mean, this have kissed before but the drama of taking over made it the last thing to cross her mind.)


She nods slowly, "I don't plan to throw a ball or arrange a marriage for myself." She laughs, "I never did like the idea of it."

 

[Hellfire]

(Shadow is fond of her, but he realizes she has enough on her hands. He at this point is more concerned about her well-being than anything else.)


He shuddered. "I have never been a fan of formal gatherings. To many people for my liking." He laughed slightly. "I have only ever been to one thing that could be considered a ball. It didn't end well."

 

[RavenMist]

(Yeah, of course.)


Isabella chuckles, "Formal events were never fun, I much prefer sitting in the library and reading." She says, "The royals often threw big parties that were formal, big dresses and Masquerade masks, you'd have fit it." She says with a laugh.

 

[Hellfire]

" I don't dance." He said with a shrug. "I'm capable of dancing, I just don't. Besides I probably would have been kicked out for one reason or another. Thieves are not exactly welcome in a room full of rich people." He chuckled.

 

[RavenMist]

She laughs lightly, "like Rich people aren't welcomed into the slums often." She says. She looks at him, "Masquerade was always a bad theme, how can you tell who is a threat in a room full of masked faces."

 

[Hellfire]

"The ones who wear the most innocent looking masks." He said instantly. "People who are monsters try to look as innocent or blank as possible. At least, that is the case in my expierence."

 

[RavenMist]

"But put that with a room full of royals, all monsters in some way, whether that through greed or from killing. A simple thief would blend even better but the royals themselves wanted, if anything to be innocent. The style of the mask aside, body language and the small facial expression you see from the lips and jaw movement. Even then a room full of masked faces, in reality no one is innocent, it's just the opinion of the person noticing. A petty thief is nothing in a crowd of greedy rich." She suggests.

 

[Hellfire]

"Very true." He said with a nod. "Although they barely mix, i do wonder sometimes which is worse. The thief or the rich?" He thinks aloud. "Everyone trys to hide their darker side, so you can rarely tell who the real monster is."

 

[RavenMist]

"Both do things seen wrong but it depends what audience are stood judging. Because if a thief with morals were to be caught by royals then in their opinion he'd be the worst. But if a Royal were to be judged by the slums, they'd be the worst. In truth, is anyone really innocent, a sin is a sin no matter what you believe in. The scale of the sin might affect it yes but everyone judges differently." She replies, "The darker side shows in everyone eventually, and you hide that part most because it's the side you know people will leave an opinion on." She says, "Personally, I think the rich are far worse, because aren't they just mere thieves themselves."

 

[Hellfire]

He shakes his head. "Your sharp Isabella." He compliments her. "I personally am not afraid to show my dark side, although it is unpleasent. In the end the rich steal from the poor and the poor steal from the rich. It is a vicious and neverending cycle. Neither side is willing to better the better."

 

[RavenMist]

"So there's the answer, judgements aside, no ones better than the other." She says with a smile, "In the end of everything, everyone is somewhat equal in that of all things. No one is quite good and no one is quite bad. Just a grey in between in which people stand, some people close to good and others close to bad." She remarks.

 

[Hellfire]

He nods in agreement. "One of the pains of being human. You are never just good, and never just bad. The world would be much simpler if it was all black and white instead of many different shades of grey."

 

[RavenMist]

"If it worked like that, we'd have much more of a problem on our hands. Because the truly bad people wouldn't have any sort of humanity. Where would my words get me?" She asks with a laugh.

 

[Hellfire]

"At least you would know who the real mosters were. They would be much easier to handle unmasked.With your speaking skills you would have been able to handle real monsters."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods slightly, "I couldn't talk them out of being bad though. At least this grey zone allows you to fight fire with fire." She comments.

 

[Hellfire]

"It also gives you the advantage on playing to their human side, however little it may be. Even the coldest person has a heart, it is simple very hard to find."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods slowly, "Unless they have nothing left to care about and you find yourself looking for something that isn't there." She remarks.

 

[Hellfire]

"Call me foolish, but I do believe everyone has a heart. Even if they don't care about anything, there is always something that pulls at their heart. They are basically dead if nothing moves them, in fact most die when that happens."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods, "I do agree, it's just finding the right weakness to hit the right people's hearts." She says lightly, looking at him now, "For me that'd be easy, I care about too many people, too much." She states.

 

[Hellfire]

"Yes, but that also means you are aware and a little prepared for someone using your weakness. For most, they don't know there true weakness till itis either used against them, or pointed out."

 

[RavenMist]

"And what's Mr. Shadow's weakness then? Or is it undiscovered?" She says, a smile playing on her lips.

 

[Hellfire]

He smiled slowly. "Perhaps you will find out one day, although I hardly know myself." He commented. "I of course have a weakness for taking care of the slums, but That is not my greatest weakness."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods again, "I've told Nathan we can relax for the rest of the day. So the agenda is on hold until tomorrow for you guys." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

"Alright. If you want anything done today, just ask." He offered as he turned towards Nathan and Darren. "Me and Darren will end up causing trouble either way." He said with a shrug
