"I don't know," Patton said.

"Just tell me why you did this to me!" Roman said.

"Proving we need a plan." Virgil said. He liked plans, they were safe, and reliable. Plans kept Thomas safe. Virgil relied on plans, for everything. And he didn't have one now, so he decided to make one.

"Boo-hoo, why does that matter?" Deceit said, standing up theatrically and giving a dramatic twirl. "Bob, can we get some lights please?" he called to the ceiling, and the room illuminated. Roman was sitting on a fancy lush, red velvet sofa, the room was draped with crimson curtains and seemed to have a largely decadent, theatre kind of aesthetic. Floating bulbs of various shades of red illuminated the ceiling like burning fireflies, the floor was dark mahogany paneled, and there was red cushioned mahogany furniture settled before a now-lit, impressive fireplace. And that was just their corner, the rest had even more of those floating red lights, some a nearly black red that were trapped in jars. "You like it? I designed the room myself, to have a sort of royal theme. I can change it to something else if it's not to your liking, however." Deceit amended.

"Yeah," Patton said.

"It's not that. Look, I know your tricks. I was just stupid earlier. Trusting you, why would I? My friends would like me back, and I'd like it if you didn't do something awful to me," Roman said.

"Listen darling, you can trust me just fine! I'm Deceit, after all, I help Thomas stay in his nice little bubble of ignorance. That is, of course, what all the lights are for." he said cheerfully, "And besides, does it really matter what the others think? They're probably not coming back for you anyhow."

"Please stop! They care about me and you know it!" Roman said.

"Oh, honestly. You're just a burden to them!" said Deceit. "Don't be fooled, just because you're fond of them doesn't mean they'll ever return the sentiment. You've been lying to yourself since you got here, and I should know."

Roman glared at him. "Let me go! NOW!"

"As if. You can't just attack your problems, Roman." Deceit purred. "Now sit down and allow me to explain, as you seem to want me to."

"Fine," said Roman.

"Suppose we tipped the scales, and no, that wasn't a self referential pun. Anyways, say we took you out of the equation. How do you think that would topple the dominoes, Princey? Making the platform lean sideways, per se. How do you think I could benefit from that? And how could Thomas benefit, furthermore?" Deceit asked.

"Do you really think I have time for this? I would just like to go back to my friends before something happens," said Roman.

"You don't have much of a choice but to sit here and think it out, darling. I'm not letting you leave so easily, Roman." he winked. Deceit crossed his legs, sitting in midair and staring at Roman with the smuggest of grins.

Roman sighed.

"What's with that look? Do you honestly think I'm taking this too far? Because really, I've had enough of the melodramatic displays, dearest." Deceit sighed.

"Let me go!" Roman said.

"Again, no. I don't change my mind that easily okay?" he said.

Roman glared at him.

"Agian with the face!" Deceit said tiredly. "You think you can change my answer by repeating yourself?"

Roman said nothing.

"Darling, don't pout. It's not nearly as fun when you do. I'm not lying, you have my word they aren't coming for you. Your so called friends don't care at all!" Deceit said.

"I know you're lying about that! They're probably looking for me right now!" Roman said.

"Babes, I don't always lie. It wouldn't work out if I did it constantly, it's just a bad habit of mine. I wouldn't be lying about this." he said.

"Stop trying to mess with me!" Roman said.

"I'm. Not. Lying." and Deceit wasn't. He knew how livid Logan was, how the logical side had hid it until he exploded, everything. And honestly, he expected at least Virgil to side with him given his obvious contempt for Roman. He'd seen how they'd fought. And that left Patton, who, however far he looked, would never find them, and that would crush his fragile spirit and cause the moral side to give up. "So quit with the idiotic suggestions that anyone cares about you."

"Fine," Roman said.
