“Actually, when Darius captured me, he was really protecting me.”

“I thought I was the only one who found this ‘Day of Unity’ junk suspicious. When I heard Raine was causing trouble, I had a feeling they’d know more. You would have been locked away if it weren’t for me.”

“And a little less bruised. You could have let me in on things before attacking me!”

“You’re a horrible actor.  I had to make it look real.”

“Ugh, this is just like Hexside….”

lots of screenshots bc I’m sorry when you have two characters whose designs I love this much teasing each other I just need to look at them a lot.

I really like the writing of this– one of the reasons I’d been assuming Darius was spurred to rebellion by seeing what happened to Raine was that I was worried that if he already had a rebellion running, it would kind of narratively undercut Raine’s bravery and importance? But having him specify that he recognized Raine would “know more” makes them vital. I appreciate it.

Also, “I thought I was the only one” implies that Eber wasn’t on his side during the battle and only came around after, which is fun.
