YOU:Hey uh, did you hear that Daisy?
DAISY:Yeah…uh…
YOU:Could you ask if Verity heard that? So we know we’re not just hearing things?
Verity is still talking in the meantime...
VERITY: “Great! I hope you feel comfortable enough here to continue your former employment. You were always the best of my Demons.”
Daisy smiles faintly, laughing.
DAISY: Thanks Verity, just uh, did you hear a, uh, scream just now?
VERITY: Oh, I didn’t notice it myself but it’s probably just someone taking sparring a bit too far. It happens sometimes.
VERITY: You were always much better at not accidentally hurting people.
DAISY: I mean uh, the scream sounded kinda, scared? And thank you, I… uh...
You both get the sense that Verity is frowning, despite the unmoving expression of the mask-face.
VERITY: That’s no good. Would it make you feel better if I got someone to check that out? I can ask one of my guards to do a sweep through the building.
DAISY: That would help.
YOU: Yeah. We’d like that too!
Daisy’s expression is still one of discomfort and concern.
VERITY: Daisy, it's okay. You know you don’t have to worry here. I’m not going to let anything bad happen to you again.
She reaches out, resting a hand against Daisy’s cheek and shoulder.
Daisy’s shoulders droop slightly.
DAISY: I know, it’s just--
VERITY: You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to. I know the last time we were both together like this was… bad.
DAISY: Yeah.
VERITY: But I won’t let that happen again! It’s okay!
DAISY: Yeah.
Daisy sighs lightly and Verity pulls her hand away,a heavy silence between the two. Broken when pulls a clump of paper out of her body, creating one of the flying orbs that delivered a message to Daisy this morning, and letting it fly off down the hall.
YOU:Daisy?
DAISY:Yeah??
