Yknow if Vee gets the idea that Luz is a sadist /Before/ she asks Hunter for help, there is a world where the reason Hunter refuses to help her is because she says if he helps them escape, then Hunter can be free from both the Emperor and his equally cruel and evil Princess. Which just triggers Hunter's immediate "I Don't Fucking Trust You" reaction and he immediately rejects them, and fully buys into Belos saying the Basilisks are manipulative and deceitful creatures afterwards

i'm going back thru my inbox for blorbo things i forgot about and i do really Love this. vee is like hey i've noticed you're weird and nervous and clearly upset about hurting me!! i don't like hurting things either!! we are!! the!! same!! let's go somewhere that isn't full of people who like causing pain!!!!

this DOES have me thinking, like. AU of an AU. where vee Much more accurately clocks hunter's fear as being For luz, rather than Of luz. maybe hunter comes down with obvious injuries & vee is like "wow those look bad. he is going to kill you??" & hunter's like "i'm normal. and fine" & vee is like "ok. what happens to luz if you die"

i can see this being a pretty persuasive argument. especially because it's been Heavily implied that belos would regularly threaten luz behind closed doors to make hunter comply with shit.

POV you are fourteen-year-old princess luz noceda it's the middle of the night and your golden guard has just come into your room n said "okay i need you to pack a bag. and also.... to get cool about a bunch of stuff Really quickly,"
