Staring into the Abyss [reserved, sonya]

[Sonya]

"I'd love to have you on board as well," Sonya said. "Of course, my current employer may have...issues with that, seeing as he wanted you dead, but I'm sure we can work something out. What he doesn't know won't hurt him, after all." She giggled, returning to gently stroking Trinity's hair. "I'd hate to make you run with bandits though, unless you're okay with that. Instead, why don't we get started on finding a good way out of my current 'arrangement'. I'm resolved to go out fighting if it comes to that, but I'd rather just cut out the 'us dying' part altogether. How does that sound to you?"

It would be dangerous, and it would probably involve a lot more sneaking around and information gathering than killing their way to freedom. Early on, at least. Worse still, it would give them only a limited time together until they managed to pull it off. But if they could...then Sonya would have the life of freedom she so wanted, and someone amazing to share it with.

[Trinity]

Trinity listened intently to Sonya's concerns. Naturally, the person asking for Trinity's head would be mad - if he knew at all that the two of them had pretty much basically eloped instead of carrying out their respective missions to kill each other. As Trinity enjoyed the feeling of her hair being stroked by Sonya, she feebly nodded. "The easiest way out would be for me to run along with your merry group of bandits; but I am sure if you are not savvy with that arrangement we can figure out... Alternative means. If playing to our initial strengths and resorting to violence is the only option, then I am sure I'll be able to figure out a way to get us both out of the situation alive." Trinity spoke softly, but seriously, as if recognizing the gravity of the situation. "We'd probably have to find some way to bamboozle those fellows of yours, either through the rumor mill or through some other means... I'll have to think about it, though. I'm used to having to shake things off like this." Trinity said, soon heaving and hugging Sonya again.

"It's going to be hard, but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end. I know it." Trinity mentioned, stroking Sonya's hair in return. Indeed, they would have to pull out all the stops in order to divert the attention away from them. It would be difficult but as long as the reward in the end would be something this great... It would be worth all the trouble and hassle of getting through these challenges.

"Hey, if you want to join up, I'd be happy to have you. Although, I'm sure there's more you could do. If you could get into somewhere where our enemies couldn't touch you at the moment...hmmm..." What kind of place or organization would that be, though? The Grimleal stood out as a possibility, but they'd probably want Trinity for other reasons. Ferox was possible, but not likely. Anywhere major in Ylisse except bandit groups and possibly what was it, the knights of cydroneia was out. Not that Sonya trusted a group like that to be effective at anything other than empty promises.

"Well, we've got some time to work this out before anyone starts to catch on, at least. I'm okay with anything you choose, so long as it gives us chances to see each other. And...whatever you and I end up doing, let's make it a good one." She kissed Trinity again, holding her tightly in her arms. She knew that this would be the greatest challenge she'd ever faced. After all, she was talking about escaping from all of her old and potential enemies forever, something that she'd only ever dreamed of before. But, if they succeeded, it would be worth it. And if not, she would be satisfied with the fact that she stopped running and started fighting back.

After awhile, she pulled away from Trinity again, and smiled. "I get the feeling that this is the start of a beautiful relationship. And...maybe even a beautiful future, too."
