Vertti's Manor
Deaths: N/A
[hr]

[color=slategray]"Fufu, what's the matter?"[/color] Mie giggled, sliding the contract up her sleeve. [color=slategray]"Would you prefer I call you my little butterfly again? You seemed to like it last time."[/color] Despite her joviality, it was only a show as always. Honestly? She wasn't sure if this was a good idea. Most of her ideas, in fact, could be counted on some spectrum of reckless and half-planned, but this had to be one of her most reckless decisions in a while.

She didn't trust Vertti.

How could she?

She was used to people lying. People scheming. Using others. People backstabbing others. Quite literally in some situations. The fox wasn't sure if Vertti [i]wasn't[/i] using her for something. She had the royal seal turned into a ring for Laguna's sake, and had given it to [i]her[/i]. Considering what was going on, with her was the safest place for the seal. If Vertti wanted to stop it from being stolen, that was a plan about reckless enough for her to try. Get on someones good side and had off the item to them. Every single thing in her body was still telling her to shank the aristocrat and run off like the scared fox she might as well be in the grand scheme of things.

But...For once. For once in a very long while. She'd give someone the benefit of the doubt. She was fairly certain she'd just end up getting hurt, but sometimes, betting against the odds worked out alright in the end.

[color=slategray]"Oh hello little Rabbit."[/color] Mie gave him a friendly smile, picking up the knife she had discarded earlier from the floor, sliding it back into its hiding spot under her maid uniform. [color=slategray]"Don't mind the knife. I was just playing a game with the butterfly here, fufu...that said, it seems like she had me all figured out from the start and told you too."[/color] She sighed, frowning lightly. [color=slategray]"I'd ask who ratted me out, but I'm beginning to think I was just sloppy somewhere."[/color] Taking a seat next to Vertti, Mie waved a hand dismissively, replacing the mask in her dress. [color=slategray]"Not that it matters now."[/color] The hairs on her tail were standing on end. Something felt...off, but she couldn't quite place it. This objectively should be one of the safest rooms in the house as long as she was here, yet she still felt mildly uneasy.

...actually.

Mie took the ring off her finger, sliding it into one of her pockets. Best not to advertise its location for now.

[color=slategray]"So, you said you didn't want me killing anything now,"[/color] Mie looked up at the human. [color=slategray]"But I don't suppose you'd let me join in on the fun racket out there, hm?"[/color] Giggling lightly. [color=slategray]"Taking out threats before they get to you is the best way to do it, you know. I just so happen to be an expert in that."[/color]
