Silvis: Hey! I think he's waking up!
Yatvi: Shhh! Be cautious not to startle him!
Silvis: Sis, he's tied up. He's GONNA be 'startled.'
Yatvi: ... Oh. Well then... *embarrased*
Silvis: Hey, *messes up Yatvi's hair* don't worry, kid.
After however long it was of being unconscious, Raven's eyes slowly begin to open. He looks like he's in serious pain, as well as surprise that he's tied up, and confusion as to why.
Raven: Where.... am... I?
Yatvi: That is not of your concern, O Raven, Sorcerer of the Shadows.
For I know what you have done to your family.
Raven: Poor girl... you sound like..... someone who has done.... too much reading.
Silvis: Yea, that's what I always say.
*gets elbowed by Yatvi* Unh!
Yatvi: *snarls at Silvis*
Silvis: *shrugs*
Yatvi: Raven, tell me. *points her rapier at Raven's face*
Why were you invading our backyard? For what purpose were you there?
Raven: *scoffs, still sounding weak*
T'is not ME you should be asking!
Yatvi: Explain. *growls lowly*
Raven: I was imprisoned there after being... assaulted.
Yatvi: Assaulted by whom?
Raven: Whom else? My sister.
She... trapped me in the vines after our last.... duel. Her last words to me? "I wish to put an... end to the...... demons." *coughs lightly*
Yatvi: I am not surprised.
Raven: *coughs harshly*
How can this be, girl?
You find a dead--*coughs more*--bloody body in your forest, yet you do not even shudder *cough cough* at the sight?
Yatvi: I did shudder, actually. Yet this is not what I referred to, Raven.
I am not surprised that your sister would attempt to commit your murder.
Raven: How rude. *coughs*
Yatvi: You murdered your own adoptive parents in cold blood, Sorcerer!
Raven: I have changed! *cough cough cough*
I begged for Nova to stop her attacks, *cough* I begged for her FORGIVENESS, *coughs harder* but she refused!
*cough cough* SHE is the true murderer! *cough*
And all I wanted was to change......
Yatvi: .... (How familiar, this conflict is to me....)
*sighs and turns away*
Raven: ...
Yatvi: Silvis?
Silvis: *eating hazelnuts from Raven's hair again* Yea?
Yatvi: Please, untie the sorcerer. I must go for a walk. I am in need of the "fresh air."
Silvis: Will do. *watches Yatvi leave and close the door*
Raven: ... Will you please quit eating from my hair?
Silvis: Sure, in a minute. *continues*
Raven: ... *sighs in annoyance*
Meanwhile, Yatvi has descended the staircase from the staircase leading to the treehouse, and has begun to distance herself from its location.
Yatvi: (Mother... Father...)
*looks up at the sky*
(Please... Forgive me.... For I did not know what I was doing.... But now I understand what I've done...)
*looks down once again, sighing lowly*
Criminal... that's what it all is... a criminal act that shouldn't have gone unpunished...
A loud CRASH comes from the treehouse, startling Yatvi out of her sadness.
Yatvi: Uhn! *falls from the shock of the noise*
What in Nerrique?!
*gets up, dusts herself off, and dashes back to the treehouse*
