Assassin-to-be (open)
Emily sighed frustrated as she pulled at the ropes binding her hands behind her back, she had been sent to spy on the leader of a gang and judging by the situation she was working on getting out of she needed some work on her subtlty the last thing she remembered was drinking a sip of her drink that wasn’t even alcohol only to realize that it was drugged just before she passed out and woke up in some bunker somewhere.
When she heard the door open she shut her eyes again pretending to be out again just in case it was one of the gang members coming to interrogate her
Emily cautiously stood not sure she trusted it, most assassin’s in the guild were good to their word but she could never tell. She did offer her hand to help him up, however real these tests were they were still part od the same guild.
Emily opened the door and exited looking between Mal and Brody
“please tell me there aren’t any more of these stupid tests”
Mal brushed passed Brodie and took her into his arms. “No no more tests.” He smiled hugging her. “I’m so proud of you.” He pressed a kiss into the top of her hair. “My sweet Emily.”
Alec smiled, “she did well you have taught her well.” He looked to Brodie. “Both if you.” He nodded then went along his way.
“Thank ye Alec!” Brodie called after him then joined his favorite people in a massive hug.
Emily smiled and hugged them both back when she pulled away she smiled
“you shouldn’t worry about me so much, but the next time anyone here drugs me there is going to be hell to pay”
“We both were drugged for our tests. And we watched over ye the whole time.” Brodie told her. “Ye have our word we won’t be drugging ye.”
Mal nodded, “You have been safe the whole time.”
“except for the life or death fight with an assassin inside a room.” Emily teased them a bit
“on the plus side princess assassin had an interesting right to it” Emily said with a soft laugh
They joined her in the laugh and held her close glad they weren’t mourning the loss of her. “Why don’t we go celebrate?” Mal suggested.
“celebrate like ice cream or celebrate like some weird assassin thing?” Emily asked quirking a brow there was still so much she didn’t know but she was excited to learn
“Ice cream sweetone,” Mal patted her hand. “The shop near our home released a new flavor.”
Emily nodded
“much better, I’ll stick with my classic smore flavored though” Emily said happily it was her favorite with hot fudge on top you couldn’t go wrong
“I don’t know blackberry cheesecake swirl sounds pretty good.” Mal smiled at Emily. “Oh and I just received word you know that unusual boy the Starkey’s took in your friend Chronos? He is Emperor of Underland.”
Emily quirked a brow at him surprised
“I can’t see chronos being an emperor, I mean i can but….”
It was difficult to explain fhe feeling
“I suppose I shouod look into some peaceful negotiations with underland then,”
Chronos doesn’t strike me as thhe kind to declare war willy nilly. Always was a peaceful lad.“
"All the more odd he hung out with the Princess of Darkness.” Mal shook his head.
"yes but underland has never had an official peace talk with the goddess lands nor an alliance of any sort, chronos has a lot of family here and I can't see him turning his back on us if we were to need him but it might be best to look into it just in case. Plus it could open your whole new routes of trade" Emily explained she would have to talk to her father and brothers
