(seeing as how she didn't believe it, that comes as no surprise. arlecchino was the only one there. the only other person in this hallway with furina, lying was child's play for her against that feeling in her heart. she didn't do this to intimidate, she didn't wish death upon furina as surprising as this could be knowing how she caused that misunderstanding previously. the knave finds herself cornered, not for long, knowing her. her heart aches and craves for her to let loose this truth in it, but she refuses to do such a thing, regardless of how arlecchino feels that desire. she knows it too well.
the knave who once in childhood fancy came close to confessions, of promises she wishes once she made instead of breaking others. there is nothing she can do to get out of this, furina knows. not even hiring someone or saying they were from the children would be plausible. they wouldn't devote themselves the way that the knave had. how this damnable feeling is piercing, growing at the sight of her desperation, and arlecchino for a change speechless.
she saw through her. for once in the knave's lonesome longing, furina had seen through it. that she did this to avoid being caught for that reason.)
Let us say that I did leave them, that if my name was left on them, would you have demanded they be taken back? I have no reason to presume that you wouldn't, Mademoiselle.
(that is true knowing arlecchino had been a source of nightmares for furina, the knave has common sense. common sense for a lone devil that almost seems to be chasing something more from a princess that deserves much better, or a prince that does were that to strike furina's fancy more. arlecchino would not mind using or saying either, but there is only one thing that fits the knave. that would be the devilish villain, the one in this tale they're crafting that should never seek more than what she has.
this couldn't be anything more than a longing, a wish. if she desires more, the world would rip it from her, as it's always done the knave. arlecchino does not ever doubt this. heaven above would smite her before it allows anything further than what she's carved out alone for herself in the children, in the way she brought changes for their sake despite knowing that she hardly helps this cycle they're trapped in. she is still a harbinger, fatui, they are expected to do similar to her with putting their lives at risk.)
Or are you trying to say that my presumptions that you would, in fact, be afraid of me are false? I do recall that you would avoid me.
(without the presence of the iudex, that is. or the traveler. arlecchino is no fool, she can tell whenever someone is scared of her. she feels no fear beyond furina freezing up before her, the tumble of words had been clear. it does little to change, however, that she knew better than to also say that she could deliver such things without consequences for it. such as for example: being removed from the premises, banned, or the gifts being sent directly back to the house of the hearth within the walls of fontaine.
the sting grows, no matter her harsh tone, she must seem pitiful. the lone devil, the lone villain on their stage and rightfully trying to keep her distance. she has no right to it. she tells herself this constantly, she shouldn't dream of furina past that fear. it's too much, she understands not the reason why she can't make her leave her mind, but it felt so overwhelming. like a respite that she might never have had.)
I am not a fool to believe you would welcome it, were it me.
