Maggie's reaction to Gregory attempting to lie about your whereabouts.
OR
{Gender-Neutral}
Maggie stands, wiping her dirty hands on her jeans. Gregory steps beside her, admiring the work she's done. "Well. Isn't this fantastic, Margaret?"
"Thank you, Gregory. I've... been meaning to speak to you for a while now, but I've always managed to catch you while you're busy."
"And what is it you wanna tell me?", the white-haired man gulps, his gaze slowly turning to meet Maggie's. She wipes the back of her hand against her forehead, then drops the gardening tool on the ground. "Have you seen Y/N? Enid and I haven't seen them in... a few hours, and they usually love helping me with stuff like this."
Gregory takes his time with his response, allowing Maggie's resentment to fester. She knows that you were given to the Saviors as a peace offering on Gregory's behalf. She merely wishes to see if the grey-haired man has enough respect for her to tell her upfront, or if he lies.
"Um, I'm afraid I have not. I'll be sure to... inform you of their whereabouts as soon as I know, dear."
The brunette takes her eyes off the man for a moment with a disbelieving smile and a telltale sting behind her eyes. "You know, I had the funniest dream last night." The unsuspecting man hums as he continues 'admiring' the gardening work. "Yeah. It... it had you in it. And Y/N, too." Once again, Gregory gulps, this time audibly. "Did it now?"
"Mhm. I had gotten out of bed to get a drink of water, and I happened to look out of my window and see a mysterious group of people hauling them into a truck while they were unconscious. And, get this, you were just... watching. Almost as if you had planned for it to happen." She stares at Gregory, taking satisfaction in his refusal to look her in the eyes. "Isn't that crazy?" Maggie doesn't give the man a chance to speak.
"Let's say, hypothetically, you did do this dreadful thing. It'd ruin your leadership at Hilltop, wouldn't it?" He barely nods. "Again, hypothetically speaking, if you had done this extremely cowardly thing, and I was the only one who knew about it, I'd give you the chance to retrieve my partner. And if you succeeded in returning them to me, I'd make sure your little secret stays exactly that. You get what I'm saying, Gregory?"
The man clears his throat. "By hypothetically you mean... hypothetically, right?"
