"The souls of the innocent," Eve joked laughing to herself a bit. "No I'm just kidding, lamb chops" she shrugged. "And its not like my father shows up for dinner anyway so dressing up is pointless." She said even though she herself was wearing a black dress.
"I've never had lamb chops before." He looked over at her for the first time tonight. "You look nice." He smiled at her before looking away. Like he said when he first got here, she was pretty, he just couldn't stand her personality much. Maybe that will change as he gets to know her. "Wait, so if you do fall in love with me, won't it be horrible if I left?" He hadn't thought about that till now. Not like she will, but who knows.
"That's the point of the game. The hole plan" Eve gave him a duh look "heart break can bring a demons full power out." And that's what her father wanted.
"Ah." That makes a bit of sense. "And have you not fallen in love because of that, or have you just not found the right one." He did air quotes at the last part. He didn't want to break her heart, he wasn't that kind of guy. "If you do fall in love with me, I wouldn't want to break your heart." He made an X with his arms so she wouldn't hurt him. "That's only if you do though."
"And who's to say I even like humans" she hadn't fallen in love before Becuse it was pointless to her. "Love isn't really my thing. I'd rather send you straight to the firey depths"
"Ha ha, yep, um. When is the food coming out?" He tried to change the topic, off of love because it seems she's not fond of the thought of being with a human. Conner on the other hand wants to fall in love some day, if he makes it out of here that is. "What do you do for fun down here?"
Almost as soon as he mentionex the food a maid came out holding to plates and placed them infrount of them.
"For fun around here? Ha! You do realize this is hell, take a wild guess" Eve was quite annoyed with this human. "And just in case you're to dense to figure it out, its tortcher" she began to eat not even sparing a glance at the human.
(Oof sorry she's so rude rn.)
(Its fine haha.)
"It was just a question." He started to cut his lamb chop. "No need to be so rude." He took a bite and slumped in his seat, not caring how he looks right now. Conner didn't know how to handle this girl. "Listen I hate this just as much as you do. Do you think Inwant you to fall in love with me. No." He snapped back.
Eves eyes flashed a dangerous shade of red and black as she spoke, "if I where you I'd be careful. After all you're in my home." She ate with out even bothering to cut the lamb chops first. "And for the record, you're not gonna win this game. So give up already" she'd never been challenged by a human before. Most didn't even try to make eye contact with her, or even talk to her! But this one. She was slightly surprised by him.
He grinned and rested his head on his hand. "We'll see about that. That's it, he was definitely going to win this, he thought. "And go ahead a kill me, I'll just come back, I guess." Conner went back to eating, with the grin still on his face.
"Doesn't mean it won't hurt" she gave him a challengeing look. But to be honest she wasn't sure that she'd win this one. This human, Connor, was determined.
"Oh, I never doubted that it wouldn't. I'm just saying that I won't die and you'll just have to live with me." He shrugged a shoulder and drank some water. She was interesting if nothing else. *He was now determined to win this challenge.
Eve stood "then I'll see you in the morning. Good luck" she glared at him one last time before heading off to her room for the night.
He watched as she left. Now it was just him, eating alone. Conner didn't mind the silence, but now he had to prepare for the torture Eve would bring tomorrow. "This is going to be fun!" Sarcasm dripped out of his mouth. "Thank you for the meal." He pushed his plate away and left to his room.
When Eve woke in the morning she dressed in a black dress as usual and looked out the window. like many other mornings humans where usared into the gates and locked in till they severed their sentience. Some would wait years, others an eternity.
The bed was comfortable, Conner had to admit. And he didn't want to wake up, so he didn't. He would wait till someone came and got him. It was mystery how a place made for torture could have such heavenly beds.
Eve decided she'd mess with Connor, it was early, the sun hadn't even risen yet, and it'd be an absolute pain to be this early. She walked threw the halls till she found his room and knocked on the door loudly. "Rise and shiiine~" she sung out.
"Go awaaaaay~~" He sung back, putting a pillow over his head. He didn't want Eve to be the first thing he saw in the morning. "Please let me sleep a little longer. Move the torture down on my list, it can wait til the sun rises."
"Oh come on. Don't you want a torre of your future home? After all its not like you'll ever leave this place" she laughed Almost satisfied that he'd soon fail and be trapped forever.
He clicked his tongue and threw the blanket off. His hair was a bit messy, and the room got hot last night so he wasn't wearing a shirt. That didn't matter to him right now. Conner opened the door and leaned against the frame. "Alright, let's go." He looked down at her.
She looked up at him and felt her face turn red, "p-put on a shirt!" Eve turned away embarrassed. "And for your information! If you get hot in the night turn on the A.c.!" She stormed off, "when you're ready meet me in the dinning room"
Conner smirked, watching her walk away. That went well. He was actually pretty proud of himself. Shutting the door, he quickly changed and went to the dinning room. "I'm here and fully dressed." He smiled.
"Good" she turned to him. "We'll be going to the town" she gave him an evil smirk, "and maybe we'll go see the….not so nice parts of town too" she sounded as if she had something planned.
"Can't wait." He whispered in her ear before walking to the door. This is going to be exhilarating! "Well let's head out." He waited outside for her.
can't wait! How could he not wait!? The whole point of showing him the town was to break his spirts! But it was starting to look like she'd have to try harder. Eve walked out the door after him.
