Because not Everything is as it Seems (Crystal)

[Light]

Serenity laughs, "They're TWINS silly! Haven't you ever seen them? The only difference is Zaine's eyes are a really pretty coffee brown."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Nora shook her head. "I've never seen Zaine Deathwing," she said. "Why on earth would I have?"

[Light]

"I guess you wouldn't have, I forget he hates cameras." Serenity snorts a bit in laughter, "You should see them side by side- it's WEIRD."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"It's like that with twins," Nora murmured. Her head felt like it was going to explode; all this new, unbelievable information about the man she was engaged to. Engaged! She still couldn't get over that.

[Light]

Serenity rolls on the floor messing with the shackles on her hands. "They do the whole talking in sync and stuff as well. Their also a terror when they put they're heads together. Seth's the one with the talent for fighting and Zaine's the genius." Serenity glances at her, "You taking it okay?"t

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Nora laughed shortly. She'd seen a lot the last few weeks, taken it all in stride; it would take a lot more to throw her off now. God, her life had changed. She could hardly remember when she was just some sweet innocent girl, living her life day after day, not caring about much of anything. It seems so long ago.

[Light]

Serenity analyzes her before stretching, "Does he still play the piano?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

A smile spread on Nora's slips, a wistful look crossing her face. "Yes," she replied. "But i've never heard him play. He's supposed to be really good. Or so I've heard."

[Light]

Serenity grins, "It's hard to explain what it sounds like- but I can assure you he's very good at it."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Someday, I'll hear it," Nora said, sounding like she was making a promise to herself. That someday might not come for a long time, though, not if things continued as they were. She was locked up in a cell, Seth was disabled from being shot. They still didn't know if he would ever walk again. "Hey, Serenity...." she said cautiously. "Did you hear about what happened to him?" What if the girl didn't know? How could she find the heart to tell her?

[Light]

Serenity suddenly lets out a dangerous hiss, "Oh I heard- that witch made me watch the recording over and over again for a whole day...." Her eyes glow darkly- she wanted to rip Eloise in half and stomp on the pieces.

"I don't know if he'll walk again," Nora said quietly. Would that inhibit his ability to play the piano? It made her heart hurt just thinking about it.

[Light]

Serenity laughs loudly- a laugh that sounded like she was hurting. "I heard- Elosie likes to come here and rub it in everyday. Don't worry though- I know someone that can fix him. Just gotta get out of this hell hole..." She grumbles rolling back on her stomach.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Nora let out a sigh of relief. It felt like a weight had been lifted off her chest. Then Serenity's last words sank in, and she felt her hopes drop again. How the heck were they supposed to escape?

[Light]

Serenity as if sensing her doubt lifts her head a bit from the ground, "you leave that to me girly- I just gotta rest awhile- I blew up too many ships when they captured me and my head hurts like hell..."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"How long have you been here, then?" Nora asked curiously.

[Light]

Serenity gets quiet for a minute, "Maybe... about half a month or so...? It's hard to keep track of time down here- you'll learn that quick."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Half a month wasn't that long, Nora decided. If the girl thought she could get them out, she wasn't going to start doubting her quite yet. "So we just sit here and wait, then?"

[Light]

Serenity nods a bit, "I almost have everything ready- I usually don't take this long but this places security is tight- although its been slackening recently. You know anything 'bout that?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Nora shook her head, seeming confused. "No. I should think they should be increasing security, what with recent events."
