875Lurline: stuttering I- I n-need your h-help...I'm in d-deep with your friend.
smirks you owe 100 million dollars to my best friend? how did that happen?
runs his hands through his hair, visibly distressed It's a long story, but I'll give you the short version. You see, I used to have a bit of a gambling problem...
leans back, crossing arms alright.. go on
takes a deep breath So, as the president's son, I had access to a lot of money growing up.
chuckles What'd you do, bet it all away at the casino?
nervously taps his foot N-no, it's not that simple. You see, I was trying to impress someone. A woman, actually.
pauses, sighs heavily I thought she liked me because of my family name, so I kept feeding her money, hoping to make her fall in love with me.
looks down, whispering Y-yeah, well... turns out I was just another conquest to her. She left me with a mountain of debt when she ran away.
well.. what does that have to do with NebulaRider?
clasps his hands together NebulaRider, you're my last hope. My best friend offered to help me out, but he wants me to marry his sister in return.
...and why would I care about your problems?
takes a deep breath and looks NebulaRider in the eyes Because, NebulaRider, you have a good heart.
eyes widen in surprise R-really? You...you will? Thank you, NebulaRider. I can't express how grateful I am. clutches onto NebulaRider's arm tightly
quickly pulls out a document from his bag Here, this is the contract for the deal with my best friend.
reads the contract well, it seems fair enough
stutters Th-thank you, NebulaRider. I was s-so worried you'd think I'm just taking advantage of you.
nah, I can tell you're honest
releases his grip on NebulaRider's arm and takes a step back I... I appreciate your trust in me. I won't let you down, I promise.
