Collection: Sage Eyes
The main series of Sage Eyes, the story of Simon and Tiffani.
Shelly: STICK WITH ME, ROSE, AND I'LL HELP YOU ADVANCE HERE.
BE CAREFUL AROUND PEOPLE LIKE ESMA, THEY'RE GOING NO WHERE AND WILL DRAG YOU DOWN WITH JEALOUSY.
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Tiffani: YOU DO?
Shelly: YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH WEALTH, THAT MUCH IS OBVIOUS. THAT DRESS IS NEW, AND YOU WEAR IT LIKE SOMEONE USED TO LUXURY.
MAYBE YOU LOST IT WITH YOUR MOTHER, OR YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE. BUT I HAVE CONNECTIONS. WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER OUT.
Shelly: I COULD GET YOU AN AUDIENCE WITH LORD GREIN.
Tiffani: LORD GREIN? I... UH, THAT WOULD PROBABLY OVERWHELM ME.
Shelly: OF COURSE. WHAT AM I THINKING?. WE'VE JUST MET.
Esma: YOU'RE EXPECTED TO MEET QUOTA EVERY DAY.
Shelly: SO, WHO DO WE HAVE HERE?
Tiffani: MY NAME IS ROSE.
Shelly: HELLO, ROSE. I'M SHELLY. I LOVE YOUR DRESS. WHERE'D YOU GET IT?
Tiffani: IT WAS A GIFT.
Shelly: OHH, YOU MUST HAVE SOMEONE SPECIAL IN YOUR LIFE.
Tiffani: IT WAS...
FROM MY MOTHER.
Shelly: OH, IS SHE DEAD?
Tiffani: WELL, YES, SHE PASSED AWAY RECENTLY. ACTUALLY. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
Shelly: I'M SO SORRY. COME HERE, GIVE ME A HUG.
Tiffani: I DIDN'T REALIZE...
IT WAS A GIFT.
Simon: YOU SURE YOU WANT TO WEAR KATELYN'S DRESS?
Tiffani: IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT'S DECENTLY MODEST.
Simon: OH, COME ON. THEY WOULD LOOK GOOD ON YOU.
Tiffani: THIS IS NOT SUITABLE FOR A PRINCESS.
Tiffani: YOU'VE NEVER...
YOU KNOW, WITH HER, HAVE YOU, SIMON?
Simon: HUH? OH. ОН!
UH, NO.
I CAN'T AFFORD HER.
Tiffani: YEAH, A GIFT. IT'S NOT LIKE I STOLE IT. AND I'M NOT RICH, EITHER.
NOPE, NOT ME. OR ELSE I WOULDN'T BE HERE.
Farlon: NOT AGAIN!
Esma: WHO ARE YOU, FARLON'S NEW GIRL?
Tiffani: WHAT?! I'M ROSE, A NEW EMPLOYEE. I CAME HERE JUST FOR WORK, NOT TO SEDUCE FARLON OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT!
Esma: IF YOU HAVE A DRESS THAT BRIGHT, NO ONE HERE IS GOING TO THINK YOU NEED WORK.
Farlon: STILL THERE'S SOMETHING STRANGE ABOUT YOU, AND I WILL FIGURE IT OUT. FOR NOW, CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE THE JOB. I'M SURE YOU'LL BE A STAND OUT EMPLOYEE, ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE CLOTHES.
Tiffani: I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION, SIR.
Farlon: EASIER TO SEDUCE ME IF I NOTICE YOU, HUH?
Esma: EXCUSE ME SIR FARLON.
Farlon: YES, ESMA?
Esma: THE WOMEN ARE FIGHTING AGAIN.
FIVESDAY, ASIMUS 5, 4998
Farlon: HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND OUT ABOUT THIS JOB? I HAVEN'T ANNOUNCED A NEW OPENING.
Tiffani: ONE OF YOUR WORKERS IS MY UNCLE'S BROTHER'S SON. HE TOLD ME ONE OF THE GIRLS GOT FIRED.
Farlon: OH, WHICH WORKER? NO, NOT BUYING IT. WHAT'S YOUR ANGLE? YOU HERE TO BAMBOOZLE ME?
Tiffani: THERE'S NO ANGLE. I JUST NEED TO EARN MONEY.
Farlon: SO NO ONE SENT YOU? YOU'RE NOT HERE TO STEAL MY SECRETS? OR YOU'RE NOT THE PRINCESS, ARE YOU?
Tiffani: THE PRINCESS?!
Farlon: SOMEONE YESTERDAY MENTIONED HER, BUT NO, EVEN HE'S NOT THAT DUMB.
Satchel: Hey, kid, what are you doing? What's your name?
Magerise: Sir satchel! I'm... simon? I was just...
Satchel: I know what you're trying and I can't blame you. She's cute. Still, I know i'm not your dad, but let me give you some advice: Magic, including a glamour, doesn't solve your problems.
Magerise: Yes sir.
Magerise: Hello, Princess Tiffani. My name is Magerise. Pleasure to meet you.
Shiara: BEFORE I TEACH YOU, LET ME MAKE CERTAIN YOU'RE INFUSED. I NEED TO FEEL YOUR CRYSTAL HEART.
Simon: CRYSTAL HEART?
Shiara: ALL INFUSED HAVE A SMALL, SMOOTH CRYSTAL GROWING NEAR THEIR HEART, WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO USE MAGIC.
BUT YOURS... THERE'S DARKNESS, CORRUPTION.
OH, NO! SIMON, YOU'VE BEEN CURSED!
Tiffani: SO SIMON, WHAT'S YOUR JOB, ANYWAY?
Simon: SECURITY.
Tiffani: YOU'VE BEEN PRODUCTIVE. ANY CHANCE YOU'VE FIGURED OUT HOW TO PROVE MY INNOCENCE AS WELL?
RELAX, IT WAS JUST A JOKE.
Shiara: SO, SIMON, ARE YOU READY TO LEARN MAGIC NOW?
Mero: MAGIC?! YOU'RE A THIEF AND A HERETIC. WHAT A REBEL!
Simon: FINE. BACK AT THE HIDEOUT. WE'LL ALL BE STAYING THERE, RIGHT?
Mero: I'M MERO, BY THE WAY. HER BODYGUARD. NICE TO MEET YOU.
Shiara: I'M SHIARA.
SO, WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS? WORK LIKE NORMAL FOLK?
Simon: WHEN I GET THE CHANCE, I'LL FREE THE THIEVES AND THINGS CAN GO BACK TO NORMAL.
Tiffani: I NEED TO PROVE MY INNOCENCE, BUT I DON'T HOW OR WHO TO TRUST.
MERO, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD SPY IN THE CASTLE AND FIND ANY INFORMATION? BUT DON'T LET ANYONE SEE YOU.
Mero: WHY NOT?
TIffani: BECAUSE YOU'RE TERRIBLE AT KEEPING SECRETS.
Mero: YUP!
