Yea but what if someone was dumb and didn’t know what the horncuffs meant. What would happen then
Hopefully, I’d have time to explain it to them.
“Oh, you’re so kind, you like sparkly things? Me too! I love these horn cuffs of mine, for instance. They represent my husband, the assassin. See these sword points? Very stabby. *tap tap* And the turquoise gems are to match his eyes. If his victims are very aware, they might catch a glimpse of his eyes before he strikes, but usually he’s just suddenly there one moment and then vanishes again, leaving his victim dead on the floor--it’s a mercy how quickly he strikes, really--he’s such a loyal and dedicated lover, always watching out for my needs, keeping me safe and out of trouble, that sort of thing... so he’s always lurking about somewhere. He’s such a homebody, more than most Moonshadow elves even, that he’s always within earshot here or there. I bet if I were to call out his name, he’d just drop in from a tree branch all dramatically... Oh, but then, how would I explain your presence...? He might feel a little defensive if I mentioned that you’d been flirting with me, even if you didn’t really know how dangerous that was--I do hope I could help him to understand that you really didn’t mean anything, because if he thought certain thoughts, then he wouldn’t hesitate to--wait, where are you going? Okay, bye!”
*dusts my hands off* And by “time to explain,” I mean I’ll keep talking until they’re properly terrified. I have done this before, and almost no one has ever died!
