... I know it's wrong. It surely has to be.

But how long could I keep loving him? I loved Miles- I did, I loved him with all my heart, I even stole the Emerald Forest, just to run away with him, but then... he left me there to die- and I was so angry, I just... I can't even remember everything I did, but I feel like I killed more than just the

Suzette...

They called you the 'forgotten Juliet' after you died.

I wish you'd never stolen that poison. There was a reason I refused it to you, more than it just being dangerous. I knew he wouldn't come for you; I knew he didn't love you as much as he said he did.

It was clear he was after your fortune and nothing more.

I loved you once, but everything has changed: you died and I fell in love with Riff.

[ooc: He's cursed enough for it to change his memory about the poison--or is he lying?--I don't think he knew Miles' plan in canon.]

[bride_bereft]

I wish I had never-

How could I have fallen for that man, when... I should have known, I should have-

Cain, tell me it isn't wrong, for me to feel this way.

[ooc; Mm, only speculations if I recall~ Yay curse]

[misterblackbird]

Suzette, it isn't wrong. You can't help but hear what your heart says. That was why you loved him before.

No, it isn't wrong if you can't help but feel it.

[ooc: Truly yay curse!]

[bride_bereft]

I just... can't deny it anymore, Cain. Even if you'd think ill of me, even if others would, I can't pretend anymore.

[ooc; She's pissy she'll be pretending this was just a curse tomorrow. |D]

[misterblackbird]

No, no I can't think ill of anything you'd do, sweet Suzette. I know you've suffered terribly through all this. No, don't deny it anymore and don't pretend any more.

[ooc: Talk about 'hell hath no fury'. Cain's just going to be melodramatic for a while here.]

[bride_bereft]

And, please, Cain...

Tell me you feel the same. That this isn't another foul choice in love I've ended up in.

[ooc; Yeaaaaah, SHE'S HOPING HE'S CURSED. |D]

[misterblackbird]

I know what you are, but I'll lie to save my life, and I did love Suzette--

Yes, dearest Suzette. Even though we're cousins, we've always loved one another in ways far deeper than blood ties. I've always known. And I do love you too.

[ooc: He both is and isn't, somehow D:]

[bride_bereft]

... Cain, I can't imagine how I couldn't have seen before, how I could have ignored it...

No, I did see, but maybe I did not wish to see, for fear of what people would say... But I don't care what they say, Cain-

[ooc; crai, she says]

[misterblackbird]

You forced yourself, or you went all but mad running away from love.

I don't care what they say either. It doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter at all. We could start over here. So much goes on here that our love affair would hardly be noticed.

[bride_bereft]

No one to judge us, and nothing to tie us down...

Cain, I want nothing more than you.

[misterblackbird]

And I want nothing more than you, Suzette.

Ah, such a perfect life. You and I, and my sister--sisters--looked after. Yes, we might truly be happy for the first time in our lives.

[bride_bereft]

I can't imagine such happiness...

[ooc; she may try and sex you, Cain...]

[misterblackbird]

Nor can I...

We shall have to marry in secret. Who shall we have to witnesses? Who can we trust?

[ooc: D: U gonna get raeped!]

[bride_bereft]

You know more people here than I, dear Cain...

But anyone, today, now, for I surely cannot wait another moment...

[ooc; he gonna! D:]

Suzette...

[misterblackbird]

No, no--!

I've only just learned I have another sister, one whom I've never met. I need to tend to her and see what she wants, if she'll stay with me or if she's being well looked-after.

I'd marry you in a heartbeat, Suzette, but...this is too sudden, just now.
