Oh the possibilities of an Ace-Lacey teamup…
Based on a convo with @hssprimefan
#to me Lacey's dagger APPEARS higher quality#its gilded#it could have a double meaning of signifying how wealthy and privileged Lacey looks to the outside#gilded also means to be covered thinly in gold leaf or paint#which could imply that she surrounds herself with the image of wealth when in reality she's 'fallen from grace'#Ace having a more simple dagger points to his 'humble' beginnings that unlike his parents hes not only not ashamed of but proud of#his origins as someone more poor in the beginning is what emboldens him to do the things that he does#lacey however uses her projected wealth to hurt others to make sure they arent looking too closely at her#rosalyn looking directly at the handshake and the daggers being obscured from her view is absolutely intentional#i was mulling over how i would fit Rosalyn into the composition and i was so excited to figure it out#this part wasnt intentional but about Rosalyn Lacey and Ace's eye direction is interesting#Ace is looking AT Lacey probably trying to get a read on her#Rosalyn is focused on their clasped hands and how their perceived alliance could be dangerous for her and her school#tracing a line from Lacey's eye direction you could say shes mmmmmaybe looking at Ace's badge? A symbol of his power perhaps#to Lacey (and most people in the world) money = power#and ergo Ace's power = he has money#something for her to potentially take advantage of.#WHICH adds onto the dagger imagery#both are willing to go through with teaming up for a common goal (closing Rosalyn's school) but are prepared to sever ties at their earlies#convinence#oc: rosalyn brinkwater
