   “I was asking, who are you.” His eyes narrow as he studies her.  “That isn’t a difficult question, is it?” Cal smiles, “Cal— Prince Cal.” 

                           she  shouldn’t  be  so  defensive,      but  she  MUST.        if  her  father  were  to  catch  wind  that  she’d  left  her  finishing  school,         she  would  surely  be  sent back.            that  wasn’t  an  option.        she’s  not  phased  at  all  by  his  title;        if  anything  it  merely  draws  a  bit  of  pain  from  her  --  a  longing  to  see  her  own  prince  back  home.               ❛     ella----     ❜            she  answers  a  bit  trepidatiously.       ❛      i  can  assure  you  that  i’m  alright  --  just...     in  a  bit  of  a  hurry.     ❜            she’d  tried  her  best  to  stay  off  the  main  road  so  that  no  one  would  SEE  her  &&  stop  her.      but,     like  the  rest  of  luck,     she’d  been  spotted.   

’ one that could RIP OFF YOUR HEAD. ’ he furrows his brows, it wasn’t her business to know. unless she thought she could FIGHT one..? then HA. she must be awfully foolish.

                             ❛       SOUNDS WONDERFUL !      ❜      she  can’t  help  the  slight  excitement  at  the  idea  of  there  being  a  beast  she  had  yet  to  encounter.     ❛    does  it  SPEAK ?      or  is  it  silent  like  a  centaur ?      ❜

       ❛ NO ─ !❜  it’s an overreaction, he knows it. but that backpack carries everything he is certain of in the entire world.  ❛ sorry, no. just  ━ leave it be. i’ll move it if you need the chair. ❜ his hands grip the straps pulling it onto his lap,      ❛ sorry for shouting at you. it ━ i didn’t mean to.  ❜

                                              ------------ so close.               she  can  only  purse  her  lips  into  a  small  SMILE  to  let  him  know  she’s  not  upset  with  him.         she  KNOWS  who  he  is.         [  he’s  her  mission.  ]     sort of.        with  hydra  low  on  avaliable  agents,      ella  was  the  most  unapposing  member  they  had.     she  was  not  trained  to  be  a  FIGHTER.      she  was  just  forced  to  be  OBEDIENT.      [  who  else  would  be  willing  to  go  after  a  VOLATILE  missing  asset?  ]              she  could  gain  his  trust.       flirt.        whatever  she  had  to  do  to  get  him  back  to  hydra.      did  she  WANT  to?     absolutely not.    she  saw  what  they  did  to  him.       always  in  the  background,     ella  went  unnoticed  until  told  to  leave.    she’d  never  spoken  to  him.       the  one  time  she  had,      she’d  been  too  KIND.         she  knew  what  it  felt  like  to  be  TRAPPED.     hydra  was  a  nasty  organization  she’d  been  BORN  into  && constantly  tried  to  REBEL  against.      the  serum  running  through  her  veins  kept  her  from  actually  being  able to  refuse  their demands,    &&  made  her  terribly  USEFUL.     [  hence  why  they  hadn’t  just  killed  her  for  her  obstinance  yet.  ]      she’d  hoped  to  grab  his  bag  without  him  NOTICING    ----    see  what  he  was  REMEMBERING.

                         oh don’t let this sudden jovial tone fool you, truthfully he was ANGRY.

                                ❛     YOU   DON’T   UNDERSTAND.     ❜          there’s  an  OBVIOUS  amount  of  pain  in   her  voice,        coating  her  vocal  chords  all  the  way  down  to  the  veins  running  to  her  clenched  fist.         she  knew  she  couldn’t  explain  it  to  him  without  it  sounding  foolish.        he  didn’t  know  of  her  CURSE.           he  couldn’t.         her  throat  feels  DRY  as  she  tries  to  look  past  the  obvious  amount  of  anger  on  his  face.        why  was  he  MAD ?      she  was  here,    with  him.             ❛   it  had  EVERYTHING  &&   NOTHING  to  do  with  love.    ❜       she  wants  to  hit  him  for  being  so  ignorant,     but  it’s  NOT  HIS  FAULT.      it’s  HER  fault  for  not  being  able  to  tell  him  the    T  R  U  T  H    behind  her  tale.

‘ precisely. ’ he tears a piece off of the loaf & drops it into his mouth. he hadn’t intended to be rude at first, but he couldn’t deny it was amusing. ‘ unless you’re interested in the cure for the world’s worst venom or a knife made of the bone of a beast so RARE it’s only found in one place… useless things, to most. ’ he’s not lying though.

                                          she  eyes  him,  unsure  of  his  motives.            her  posture  shifts,        arms  crossing  her chest.      ❛       you’re CHEEKY.       i  don’t  care  for  it.       ❜        she  mutters.       but  oh  was  she  interested.      ❛       ....&& what BEAST is that?        ❜
