00:03Two hundred gold coins. Shut up and get out.
00:08Thanks. We're square now. I'll see myself out.
00:14Six years as Victoria's punching bag, her little trained dog, all for my sister's anti-venom.
00:21She was obsessed with making me into Elliot's mirror image.
00:24Sent me up a cliff in a blizzard to pick some damn flower.
00:28Nearly snapped both my legs, threw me at three beasts.
00:34Came back torn to shreds.
00:39And now the real Elliot's back, I'm out with the trash.
00:44That was fast.
00:48Not even gonna beg me to let you stay? I figured you'd be on your knees by now.
00:53I do what I'm told, Lady Victoria.
01:00Two hundred coins and you just take it?
01:04Wow. I gave you way too much credit.
01:07And the clothes I had made for you?
01:09Leave them. Every last piece.
01:12I had them tailored to make you look like Elliot.
01:14I'd rather set them on fire than let you keep a single one.
01:27Got it.
01:32He actually left? Who does he think he is?
01:35No guild in this city would dare take him after he walked out on the Ashford's.
01:41His sister's anti-venom. Who does he think's been paying for that?
01:45The pocket change he scrapes together killing bottom label beasts.
01:50He'll come crawling back.
02:03Want to check it? Not much in here.
02:05No need. You wouldn't dare.
02:09Kale, nothing else you want to say? No last words? Maybe beg me to keep you?
02:16What do you want to hear? That I can't live without you? That I'm begging you to let me stay?
02:21Like I care. Stay out of my sight.
02:26Rest easy, Lady Victoria. These six years, I'll act like none of it ever happened. We're just strangers.
02:31Walk out that door, Kale. Don't you dare come crawling back. Because I won't make it easy.
02:37Fine.
02:47Six years in chains. Finally free.
03:02Piece of junk.
03:04Victoria had some silversmith engrave Elliot Winston's initials on the inside.
03:09She pierced my ear herself with a silver needle.
03:11Said it'd make me look more like him.
03:14Then I got infected. Couldn't sleep for days.
03:16She called it a dog's collar.
03:18Told me I was never allowed to take it off.
03:25Finally.
03:27Free.
03:42Victoria, what's wrong? You seem off. Did you really cut Kale loose?
03:49Yeah. Elliot's back.
03:53So I told him to pack up.
03:57And he just... left?
04:01Six years together and you feel nothing?
04:05The real thing's home. Why would I keep the knock off?
04:10What'd he say when he left?
04:12Nothing.
04:13Did exactly what he was told.
04:15I tossed him 200 gold on the way out.
04:16What?
04:17Only 200?
04:18With how devoted that guy was, I figured he'd lose his mind trying to stay.
04:21Watch.
04:21He'll crack by tomorrow.
04:23Actually, forget tomorrow.
04:24Send him a message right now.
04:25Tell him to come pick you up.
04:27Bet he shows up in five minutes.
04:29Ugh.
04:30Forget him.
04:31Kills my mood.
04:33Let's talk about Elliot.
04:34If Elliot found out I kept a shadow around for six years,
04:37what would he think?
04:40If Elliot found out I kept a shadow around for six years,
04:44what would he think?
04:45Aren't you worried he'd be pissed?
04:48I'd rather he finds out.
04:50I'll use Kale to see how he reacts.
05:00Ugh.
05:02My stomach.
05:04It's killing me.
05:06Kale!
05:07What are you doing?
05:08Get my oatmeal ready!
05:11Right.
05:12He's gone.
05:20Again with the drinking.
05:21Come on, eat this before your stomach acts up.
05:24Yeah, yeah.
05:30Can't even handle this without you now?
05:38So, that rich girl from the merchant house, what happened?
05:46Contract's done.
05:51Good.
05:52You always came back beat up.
05:56Your ear.
05:57It's nothing.
05:59Healing up.
06:00You just focus on getting better.
06:05This room.
06:07We can't stay much longer, can we?
06:10The holy light apothetary only takes patients referred by the merchant house.
06:16I get it.
06:17I'll find a regular apothetary tomorrow.
06:20It'll be fine.
06:21Yeah.
06:23Maybe in a little while the venom will be gone for good.
06:26And I can finally get out of this stupid bed.
06:28Yeah.
06:29You will.
06:33I'm gonna get some fresh air.
06:41Kale, reminder from the Stonehammer Guild.
06:44Your annual mission quota is incomplete.
06:46Report to the guild house within three days, or your deposit will be forfeited.
07:00Elliot!
07:01You just got back.
07:02I made all your favorites.
07:04You still remember what I like?
07:07That's sweet.
07:08How could I forget?
07:10Especially that night you saved me from that wild dog.
07:13I still don't get why you had to leave for the royal city.
07:16We have a perfectly good academy right here.
07:18Oh, that?
07:19Honestly, I barely remember.
07:21But wow, you've changed.
07:22Changed how?
07:23Prettier.
07:24More refined.
07:25Actually, you're starting to remind me of your sister, Cecilia.
07:27Must be in the jeans.
07:28Cecilia again.
07:30Why does everyone have to bring her up?
07:32Oh.
07:33Did you know your sister's back in Blackstone?
07:35I was hoping to travel with her, but...
07:38She moves fast.
07:39She is already a gold-rank hunter.
07:41No, and I don't care.
07:42Elliot, can we not talk about her?
07:46My birthday's this weekend.
07:48Family's throwing a party.
07:49You have to come.
07:51I wouldn't miss it.
08:02Baby, when are you coming home?
08:05Soon.
08:15Sorry about that.
08:16Just some girl from the academy.
08:18Didn't think she'd call.
08:19Long-distance transmissions aren't cheap.
08:21It's fine.
08:22Whatever.
08:22Let's just eat.
08:24Actually, it's getting late.
08:25I've still got things to take care of.
08:27We'll catch up at the party.
08:29Oh.
08:31Make sure you invite your sister, Cecilia.
