RP Log ~ Luca
In which Cecile and Luca set out to search for Thomas as decided in this thread, but something transpires between the two of them alone in the forest, and Cecile finds out more than she bargained for.
Cecile: *holding her trusty lantern, waiting out by the castle gates; the welt on her face still remains stubbornly unbandaged--she looks around as if waiting for someone*
Luca: *making a lot of loud noises as he walks closer to Cecile, annoyed and irritated she's making him come out this late at night*
Cecile: *turns towards him, bringing her lantern up to see him* So you actually did show up... I'm surprised.
Luca: So what the hell did you want for me out there? Don't look at me like that.
Cecile: *scowls* You said I don't care what happens to Master Thomas?? Well, I do, and we're going to look for him!!! *takes out the partner'd map for the one she gave him earlier* We'll look out in the forest on the west side of the castle, if you have no objections.
Luca: ....What a waste of time. I ain't doing this.
Cecile: *turns around* And why not?!
Luca: *stomps* Because it's a waste of time!!!!!!!!
Cecile: *stomps back, unphased* You're going to help me look for Master Thomas whether you like it or not!! *points at him* I've had it up to here with you, understand?! I'm this close to completely renouncing your title as a guard, so I don't want to hear it!!!!
Luca: Do you want another slap, woman? I'm this close to giving it to you. You ain't going to test my patience like a fool again, are you?
Cecile: If you hit me again, you will never guard Budehuc, and I shall put you in the jails for physical abuse. *cold look, then practically shoves the lantern at him, walking ahead to the woods* Now, the sooner we get started, the sooner you can go back to being lazy!!
Luca: *grabs the lantern, but growls angrily* Tch. You're such a stubborn woman.
Cecile: *picks up her pace, but her step becomes a little lighter* And you, Luca, are a very, very stubborn man.
Luca: .... Whatever. Lead the way. *holds the lantern in front of him and follows her*
Cecile: *walks farther into the woods until they are surrounded by trees, the only light cast is from their lantern, with no moon in the sky* If I were an awful kidnapper, where would I hide Master Thomas... *frowns*
Luca: In the ground where he should be.
Cecile: *spins around* What is your PROBLEM?! *practically ready to snap* You yell at me that I don't care, then when I'm out here searching, you're.... !!! Oohhhh!!! D-don't talk about Master Thomas like that!!!!!
Luca: It's probably true. Don't matter anymore, he ain't coming back. We're going to need a better, stronger guy 'round the place.
Cecile: H-how dare you!!! Master Thomas is coming back, and until then, we have Sir Salome in charge!! *stands in the middle of the clearing, her face flushed angrily in the light of the lantern*
Luca: That guy ain't going to make it as castle leader. I'll take charge, and make sure things happen my way.
Cecile: *looks at him long and hard, stepping up to him fearlessly* You threw Miss Lyon in the dungeon recently, didn't you?
Luca: Tch. I did, what of it?
Cecile: ... *bites her lip a little* There are only two sets of keys to the jails... one that belongs to Master Thomas that is hidden in his room somewhere, and one that belongs to me. And my set disappeared. ... *cold look, stepping closer* Did you take them?
Luca: The hell are you accusing me all of a sudden? Of all people, I didn't think you'd be one to team up on me. Man, they must have brain washed you good.
Cecile: My brain is perfectly fine, so answer me straightforwardly! Did you, or did you not take my keys?!
Luca: SHUT UP. I ain't going to listen to you!!!!
Cecile: Tell me right now!!!!! Did you take my keys, or did you not?!
Luca: ....
Cecile: *stares at him unwaveringly, waiting for a response*
Luca: You answer me right now, woman. The hell are you accusing me for?
Cecile: Because I only have one set of keys, they go missing, and suddenly YOU are able to open the jail and put Miss Lyon there! You tell ME what sounds suspicious!!
Cecile: Then you yell that I don't care about Master Thomas, but when you get me out here in the middle of nowhere alone, you say that he doesn't matter!
Luca: *unsheathes his sword and swings it at Cecile, after having it up to here with her accusations* THEN YOU WILL JOIN HIM, RIGHT HERE, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cecile: *immediately dodges to the side, completely caught off-guard* L-Luca?! What has gotten into you!??! *tries not to go too far because he has the lantern* I'm asking you where my keys went and how you let Miss Lyon in jail!! I'm not telling you that you kidnapped Master Thomas, for goodness' sakes!!! That's what we're out here for!
Luca: *walks over to Cecile* You're accusing me of things that I don't appreciate being accused of. I don't need more people finding out the truth. And you ain't going to stand in my way, either!!!!!!
Cecile: *pales slightly, even though the welt on her cheek still burns red* Finding out the truth....? *disappointment flickers across her face, then she brandishes her spear* If you want me to withdraw my accusation, then how about the truth?!
Luca: Come here, Cecile.
Cecile: *wary look* .... The last time you said that to me, you broke out of jail and pinned me to the floor... then the time after that, you... ... *suddenly turns red and drops it in mid-sentence, advancing cautiously, her spear still in hand* What is it, Luca...?
Luca: *places his hand on Cecile's shoulder* You were a real good guard captain to me.
Cecile: *looks down at his hand on her shoulder and flusters, partly upset and partly nervous* Wh-what do you mean, 'were'--?! I... Luca, I might have been your commander but... *angry look* I wanted to be friends!
Cecile: Why do you think I kept visiting you, even when you called me names? Why do you think I insisted you were not an evil person all the way through?? Why do you think I brought your dying body back to Budehuc?! *her voice rises* Not because I'm your captain, that's for sure!!!!!
Luca: *holds onto her shoulder a bit tighter* That is why this is going to be hard for me to do.
Cecile: *looks at his face searchingly, the angry look turning to confusion* I don't want to demote you or kick you off the guard, Luca...! I don't like listening when people tell me you're awful and that you'll never be good!! Because I want to prove that they're wrong!!
Luca: I'm sorry. *thrusts his sword towards Cecile's gut when she's talking, while still holding onto her shoulder*
Cecile: *opens her mouth to say more, then her face goes blank and pale, and as if in slow motion her knees giving out from underneath her after the sword cuts through her, left unprotected from the top of her father's armor*
Luca: *pulls the sword out of her gut, her blood dripping onto the floor* ...... *uses his hand, which was holding her shoulder to provide comfort as she falls to her knees*
Cecile: Wh... why...? *starts to bleed from her mouth as well, trying desperately to remain conscious while looking at him*
Luca: *drops his sword on the ground and wraps both arms around her, holding her closely to him* ......
Cecile: *starts to sob, growing limp in his arms and bleeding on his armor* Why?... Why? Why? Wh... why...?
Luca: ...Thomas is worthless. Forget about 'em.
Cecile: I-I can't... more... anything else... and you're... I can't... I love... *falls limp, her head dropping against him, her skirt and legs stained with her own blood*
Luca: I'm sorry..... Cecile. *lifts her into his arms as he stands up* You'd better not tell anyone that it was me that done this to you. I'll kill Thomas with my own two hands if anyone finds out!!!!!!!!
Cecile: *murmurs 'why' and 'love' several times over before completely losing consciousness*
Luca: *kisses her forehead while she blanks out and secretly leaves to drop her off at the infirmary*
((Just in case there are any questions regarding god-modding, I gave Luca's mun permission to injure Cecile in order to advance his plot as well as prevent good character development for my own characters, so I approve of this injury! *stamp of approval* Well, actually, I don't approvingly approve of ANY injurious injury, but you know what I mean. XD))
