Always watching you

[jealousyborn]

[In this room, palace-girl!Beryl is watching an Endymion and Serenity together -- who shall remain NPCs for now, although other versions of them are free to drop by to confuse her. Anyone who wants to catch her spying is welcome, too]

[Like a ninja from behind.]

What are you doing?

[jealousyborn]

[oh so caught. have some flustered flailing. she bows quickly]

Mercury-sama! It's- it's nothing!

[boundtowater]

What is this 'sama' business? [Confused Princess is confused.] Who are you?

[jealousyborn]

[bows her head again as she introduces herself]

I'm Beryl, Mercury-sama.

[boundtowater]

[She curtsies in return.] I see... Are you a member of Serenity's court?

[jealousyborn]

Mercury-sama, are you feeling alright? I work in the Earth palace.

[boundtowater]

I am sorry, but in my world, I do not know you.

And that is good. I would hate to have to explain my actions were you in her court.

[jealousyborn]

Mercury-sama, your actions...?

[boundtowater]

I have a matter to settle with Serenity.

[jealousyborn]

What are you saying?! What's gotten into you all of a---

[the shock quickly goes back to a more servile attitude]

Forgive me, Mercury-sama.

[boundtowater]

Please, be frank with me. I do not mind it.

[Waits, yep.]

[jealousyborn]

You can't mean you have something against the Princess?

[boundtowater]

I do. You may very well be suffering its effects. That of the Ginzuishou, I mean.

[jealousyborn]

But you're one of her guardians! A sailor senshi!

[boundtowater]

Only because I was bound by the power of Ginzuishou. I am free of it now, and as a result, I hold no fealty for her anymore. She's a selfish girl. and the Ginzuishou needs to be destroyed.

[jealousyborn]

[poor Beryl really has no idea what to do in this situation.]

But... But Endymion-sama... surely you wouldn't hurt him?

[yep, the truth is written very plainly all over her face now]
