"Is everything prepared?" Theron asked Ruu.
"It's all finished," Ruu replied with a cold chill to her tone. It seemed that when she wasn't acting, this was her true self. Or maybe that was just another facade. It was hard to tell with assassin types.
Sometimes, you spent so long in another person's shoes, pretending to be something that you weren't, that you forgot who you were as well.
"Alright. In that case, I will be off then, as well."
"You're returning to Thistle Brook."
Theron gave Ruu a look, but she didn't avert her gaze. If anything, this woman was at least not scared of the moment. She had a vigor to her that was interesting—though by vigor, Theron meant her willingness to take on any challenge.
"Why so soon?" Ruu followed up without caring for Theron's lack of a response.
"If I don't, I have a feeling that there'll be someone who can't wait to kill me very soon."
