I would like to state that I am not the biggest fan of Lila, as obvious from previous chapters, but I do think that I could give her some rather interesting character development. This chapter is kind of a test for this idea, so I would like any feedback you guys have for it, good or bad.
I.O.N.
Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although Lila had quickly agreed to go with Dylan so that they could hunt the pirates that had kidnapped his fiancee and her fiance, it actually took around a week for them to set off. Mostly because she had wanted to make sure that all of the townspeople would be okay.
Lila may have been really self-centered, but she had known most of the people since she was a small child, it wouldn't have felt right to leave them without making sure they were okay. Dylan for his part didn't care much whether or not the people were okay. He just wanted to get out to sea and track Marinette, but Lila had convinced him that it would be best to wait for a little while so that the pirates would become comfortable and make a mistake.
For her, it was all a matter of watching the game play out before making any rash decisions. Not that Dylan would've noticed, he thought most women were more of a trophy rather than a person he would spend the rest of his life with and should be seen not heard, so any talents or opinions would be invalid.
Lila had become aware of this particular trait of his and smirked as a plan came to mind as to how she would deal with it.
When they were finally underway, Lila began to put her plan into motion. It was a rather simple yet elegant plan.
First, she would get into his good graces, some harmless flirting would take care of that. Then, Lila would allow him to continue to believe that she was only good for tracking, not that it would be that difficult. After that, she would make harmless requests of him, fetching a pail of water, helping her tie the back of her dress, things like that. The requests would gradually get bigger and bigger until she had him in her back pocket. Finally, once she was securely in control, Lila would make sure to keep it that way, by way of a little extra rum whenever Dylan started to catch on.
It was unknown to both of them that in both of their hometowns, each was often compared to a fox in their manner of thinking and acting. If that was the case then the dog fox just met the vixen that would change everything.
