Indeed, what a ludicrous position I have roped myself into.
Apparently, I made a certain deal with a lover for mischief the other night. I thought it's going to be a normal visit from a friend whom I hadn't seen for a while, but it somehow ended up with me agreeing to be a former lover of some sorts.
"You see, Lily, a client of mine wanted to learn more about Ms. Lauren Monique, a rising entertainer here in Ellicht. It's probably to recruit her or something since she's mostly travelling by herself. No matter the motive, I have but one role here, and I somewhat came up with this whole pretend lover thingy... Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that she'd become so... Well, you already know," was what Tristan reasoned out that night before we parted ways.
As for the rest of my part here, he told me that he'd explain it once we meet up again. I then decided to just use my most precious day-off to help him out with this new pretense he thought of.
