The hand may have been gloved yet the leather held an odd warmness that made it seem as though it truly was Lucy’s skin touching their own, a silent confirmation of the slow change.

Though, like all things…it’d take time.

Yet, it was the Templar that made the first move by taking a few steps closer with a soft look of her own. Soon, a hand would raise to gently rest on the assassin’s cheek while the other pulled down that silly hood.

Evie's face suddenly softened up to Lucy and felt a great deal of regret being angry at her. She was surprised, to say the least.

❛ Well... I do apologize on my behalf then. I didn't think you actually wanted to do any good besides spew Templar nonsense. ❜

difficult it can be to believe the Templar tried to do some good for once.

She stared at her with disgust, but also an understanding that she had her motivation for why she did everything.

“Just see the good in me? I believe we’re past the point of such a moral code, besides…I trust you saw what the owners of that building were up to?”

She’s trying to be a better person, though telling others about what motivates her actions is rather difficult at times.

Evie's breathing was becoming more intense as she stared at her. Now would be the time to strike. The enemies hand was on her hip. She no longer had her. Any other assassin would have ended the Templar right here. Right now.

This could have ended so easily for both of them. The Assassin had every opportunity to kill her right away. But she chose to strike fear into her. The Templar had her right where she wanted her, but nothing was happening.

It would’ve been so easy, to try and wring out Evie’s neck right then and there, to finally be free of this constant pest and move on with the plans set forth by the Templars yet…she simply chose to keep them both in this predicament by trying to keep the hidden blade away from her own neck.
