Surprised Expression → Mischievous Expression

I'm worried now that some other mischief is afoot, of which I'm unaware and something--

_--_feels right about the thought of someone else stumbling upon this mirror and becoming frozen in time, trapped in the remains of Arma's musk. Somehow, the thought tickles me pink, even, which is quite strange because... because...?

I... surely am not quite that cruel? It would merely be a small prank: Some harmless fun. I would let them out almost immediately, of course, if I were the one to place this here. I'd wait just a moment or two - for the situation to sink in - and then gallantly stumble upon them to let them go.

Unlike whoever actually left this here.

Well, I do suppose it's my just deserts for sneaking into the room to snoop through Arma's things. Lustful and **** as she was to finally have a man to lay with, she might not have noticed, but I certainly felt a potent magic not her own and... I suppose this was it. But such a simple tool doesn't hold much weight for me beyond particularly mean-spirited pranks.

I suppose I could simply hide it and see how long it takes her to find it? Arma doesn't usually notice things like that, but if this belongs to her companion as I suspect then perhaps she might be a little more motivated than usual? To do something other than spread her legs like a common harlot, that is. It would be nice. A simple prank and a taste of simpler times... but those times are gone, and somehow I know that nothing can bring them back the way they were.

A girl can dream, though. Especially when she's little else to do, anyway...
