"Do you know what snakeroot, hemlock, nightshade, or belladona is?"
"Do you know what snakeroot, hemlock, nightshade, or belladona is?"
Cade opened his mouth to say something witty before realizing he had nothing. "No…"
"That's what I thought," Breeze chuckled to herself.
"See? I have absolutely no reason to trust you."
"Do you want to know?" Breeze sighed and asked him.
"That would help determine whether you're here to kill us or not"
"I'm not here to kill you," Breeze had finished with the hemlock, "I only use these on guards."
(heyy yall imma be on and off.)
"So you're here to kill him?" Cade asked, pointing to the boy that looked like him.
(oml Cade sounds so dumb right now I swear he's not…)
(lmao)
"No he seems nice enough," Breeze responded.
"You trust too easily." Cade stated bluntly.
"You, not enough," Silene remarked. "She hasn't tried to attack us yet."
"I agree with Silene," Breeze looked to her, "I'm an empath I know who to trust and who not to."
Cade rolled his eyes. "It's smarter to not trust someone than to trust them. You won't lose anything if you never trust them in the first place."
"Hey, you trusted me in the first five seconds of meeting," Silene argued. "We're in a sandstorm shelter."
"Yeah, but you gave me this." Cade pulled the gem out of his pocket. "I appreciate bribery."
(lmao)
Silene laughed. "You trust a thief more than a herbalist who heals people."
"She's poisoning." Cade pointed out. "And I trust my own kind."
Silene smiled, it'd been a long time since she had someone trust her. "Maybe she's poisoning for a good cause." She gestured towards Breeze.
"Like, maybe she can help kill Caspian." She laughed out loud.
Cade shook his head. "Sorry Breeze, but you're still not fully trustworthy. I have my reasons."
Silene sighed deeply and turned to her. "I tried." She said.
"When do you think the storm will pass?" She asked nervously.
He shrugged, glad that he they had stopped interrogating him. A few more questions and he might have let the truth out. "Could be hours. It depends on the wind speed."
Damn. Silene thought as she furrowed her brow. I can't do it in public. She already felt nausea and headaches forming.
"Is there a bathroom?" She asked.
Cade pointed down a small corridor. "Down there. I'd hardly call it a bathroom, though."
"Thanks," Silene said. "And I might be in there a while," Oops Silene thought. "-I mean, I don't have to go, I just have to take care of something.."
Cade tilted his head as he eyed her suspiciously. "…Alright."
Silene smiled and walked down the corridor slowly. Almost there. Once she reached the single stall she locked the door and sat on the toilet lid. She smiled as she opened her bag, revealing her stash. She sighed happily and took one out, and rolled up her sleeve.
"You know the fact I haven't poisoned either of you really should be enough to trust me," Breeze looked at Cade.
He sighed. "I trust you but I trust Silene more, and I'm leaving it at that."
