Caught in a lie.

Lady Karisi just looks at you, her eyes not moving from yours. She doesn't move a muscle until her head starts to shake back and forth lightly "Darien..." she mumbles "Please don't lie to me." Her hand raises up, smacking the table you're sitting at very hard. The loud sound of flesh on wood echoes across the room. Your head turns hard to the side, you hold your breath, your lips curl up, showing your teeth as you contemplate your decision.

"How fucking dare you lie to me." she begins "After all I've done for you..." she slowly raises from her seat, ready to leave the room in a pissed off rage.

"FINE!" you let out "I'M SORRY!" you shout

Lady Karisi stands there, her body still, not moving a muscle, just waiting for your reply.

"My sister..." you finally let out "My sister got traded to the Syndicate." you let out "I was going north to the Syndicate to find her...to find her and reunite with her." you stare at Karisi "And if you have a damn problem with that then screw you, I'll find my own way to get her back!" you groan at her.

Karisi's slowly lowers her body down, once again sitting at the table, her eyes still locked onto yours, her breathing steadies, slowing down slightly, you see her swallow briefly as she starts to talk to you "About time you stop lying to me." she mentions

You don't say a word, more dumbfounded then anything, your eyebrows raise, feigning stupidity.

"Look how powerful I am." she says as her arms moves across her body, showcasing the room she's in, showcasing the golden curtains, the stained wooden chairs and table, the many golden goblets, the dozen of warriors around this one room protecting her, the handful of housekeepers ready to serve Lady Karisi with anything she asks for "If you think I couldn't spot a liar..." she huffs out "Then you're fucking stupid." she says "So...?"

You sit there, quite stunned. Karisi really is a special woman. A woman of power. An intelligent specimen. Why didn't you end up staying with her, growing strong, ruling everything? Your mind started to think of all the possibilities..."I'm sorry Karisi..." you mumble out "I'm sorry for lying...it's just...My sister was Syndicate" you swallow hard as your body shakes lightly "I didn't want to have any bad impressions...I just wanted to make sure she was okay. Make sure she was alive. Make sure the King wasn't doing anything bad to her..."
