[ 𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐑𝐘𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄. ] 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐘. ❝ oh she laughs ! She can smile too . ❞
𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐒 , 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐒 , 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐀𝐑𝐄? The laugh had come to her seemingly out of nowhere. Her life until this point had been nothing but waking nightmares for them. If she though hard enough , the last time she 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐃 herself to smile , to laugh … They found out. They 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 knew. Somehow …
Legacy had a way of finding out everything.
Even now , in a 𝐑𝐄𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒 attempt to find freedom that she still wondered was real or not. She could kill him right now. It'd be easy. It 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 have been easy before. It 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 have been easy. But for one reason or another , she couldn't do it. A momentary error that they were still debating was a good one.
It's when @halfdent brings 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 to the gesture of hers , that laugh that had snuck out without her knowing , causing her face to darken to a light shade of pink to betray the pale almost ghost like features. Had she known who her mother was … she would know her to be the one to give her those features , along with the one green eye she possessed to pair with the 𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐋𝐘 icy blue one on the other side. Eyes look down from him , cast now to her fidgeting hands. There is was , the quick 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐀𝐋 of emotion to bring back the cold exterior she learned to be the safer expression.
❝ Are bad jokes something everyone does? ❞ It was a 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐊 deflect from her own actions. Common when someone pointed out something that made her nervous , as if 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 didn't make her nervous out here , so long without returning home. So long that she was beginning to wonder when she would be pulled back. It happened every time she ran. One way or another , they always pulled her back. They'd been watching , waiting for that to happen , but those agents never came. The joke had been the first time she had let that guard even in the 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓. ❝ Or is it just you? ❞ The words she spoke were English , she was fluent in the language along with many others , but the accent that went with it 𝐎𝐁𝐕𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐋𝐘 had a Russian sound to it. ❝ You're different from most people. ❞
