Short filmTranscript
00:03Two hundred gold coins. Shut up and get out.
00:08Thanks. We're square now. I'll see myself out.
00:15Six 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.
01:01Two 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? Leave them. Every last piece.
01:12I had them tailored to make you look like Elliot.
01:15I'd rather set them on fire than let you keep a single one.
01:27I got it.
01:32He actually left? Who does he think he is?
01:36No guild in this city would dare take him after he walked out on the Ashford's.
01:40His 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.
02:10Kale? Nothing else you want to say? No last words?
02:15Maybe beg me to keep you?
02:17What do you want to hear? That I can't live without you?
02:20That I'm begging you to let me stay?
02:22Like I care. Stay out of my sight.
02:26Rest easy, Lady Victoria.
02:28These six years, I'll act like none of it ever happened. We're just strangers.
02:31Walk out that door, Kale.
02:33Don't you dare come crawling back.
02:35Because I won't make it easy.
02:37Fine.
02:47Six years in chains.
02:49Finally free.
03:01Piece 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.
03:12Said it'd make me look more like him.
03:14Then I got infected.
03:15Couldn't sleep for days.
03:17She called it a dog's collar.
03:19Told me I was never allowed to take it off.
03:25Finally.
03:27Free.
03:42Victoria, what's wrong?
03:44You seem off.
03:46Did you really cut Kale loose?
03:49Yeah.
03:51Elliot's back.
03:53So I told him to pack up.
03:57And he just...
03:59Left?
04:01Six years together and you feel nothing?
04:05The real thing's home.
04:07Why 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.
04:17Only 200?
04:18With how devoted that guy was, I figured he'd lose his mind trying to stay.
04:21Watch.
04:22He'll crack by tomorrow.
04:23Actually, forget tomorrow.
04:24Send him a message right now.
04:26Tell him to come pick you up.
04:27Bet he shows up in five minutes.
04:30Ugh.
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,
04:38what would he think?
04:41If 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.
05:01Ugh.
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.
05:30I can't even handle this without you now.
05:38So...
05:39That rich girl from the merchant house.
05:41What happened?
05:46Contract's done.
05:51Good.
05:52You always came back beat up.
05:56Your ear...
05:58It's nothing.
05:59Healing up.
06:01You just focus on getting better.
06:06This 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.
06:29Yeah.
06:30You will.
06:33I'm gonna get some fresh air.
06:41Kale.
06:42Reminder from the Stonehammer Guild.
06:44Your annual mission quota is incomplete.
06:47Report 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.
07:05You 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? Honestly, I barely remember.
07:21But wow, you've changed.
07:22Changed how?
07:23Prettier. More refined.
07:25Actually, you're starting to remind me of your sister, Cecilia.
07:28Must be in the jeans.
07:29Cecilia again.
07:30Why does everyone have to bring her up?
07:32Oh.
07:33Did you know your sister's back in Blackstone?
07:36I 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.
07:50You have to come.
07:51I wouldn't miss it.
08:01Baby, when are you coming home?
08:05Soon.
08:15Sorry about that.
08:17Just some girl from the academy.
08:18Didn't think she'd call.
08:19Long-distance transmissions aren't cheap.
08:21It's fine. Whatever. Let'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.
08:54This is the guy I've been pining over?
09:04He blocked me?
09:06Kale actually blocked my transmission signal?
09:16Kale, my boy.
09:17Finally came to visit this old bag of bones?
09:20I've been dying for your roasted rock lamb skewers.
09:26So, that thing I mentioned last time.
09:28Thought about it?
09:32You mean...
09:35My granddaughter, Cecilia.
09:3728.
09:38Gold-rank hunter.
09:39Adventurers Guild council member.
09:42Took down three full-grown scorpion lions solo.
09:46You're 25.
09:47She's 28.
09:48Perfect match.
09:51Plus, she's stronger than you.
09:53She can protect you.
09:54She's gold-rank.
09:56I can't even pass the bronze exam.
09:59And...
09:59I spent six years as an errand boy for the Ashfield Merchant House.
10:03So what?
10:05You did that for your sister.
10:07That takes guts.
10:09I raised Cecilia.
10:10She doesn't give a damn about gossip.
10:15And...
10:16She's always had a thing for good-looking guys.
10:20You're exactly her type.

24:10my sister's venom
24:11regular antidotes only suppress it
