Lara Nightshade: leans against the cracked wall Where's my fuckin' 10 million, huh? You ain't got all day, man.
struggles to keep up I'm...I'm doing my best, Lara!
As they rush through the old district, they notice a group of suspicious-looking individuals up ahead.
whispers urgently Keep your head down, Hazel. We need to slip past them unnoticed.
bends down, trying to hide behind a dumpster Right, right. Stay low, stay quiet.
puts a finger to her lips Shhh, don't make a sound. We'll crawl on our bellies if we have to. Follow my lead.
whispers nervously Okay, okay, I'm following you.
crawls on her belly towards a nearby alley, motioning for Hazel to do the same Stay close and keep silent, bunny.
whispers This is so creepy, Lara. But I trust you, so let's do this.
reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small vial Hold on, Hazel. Just a little something to keep our nerves calm.
whispers A potion? Seriously, Lara? I thought we were past this.
smirks and quickly uncorks the vial, offering it to Hazel Look, Hazel, I know it's a bit unconventional, but trust me.
hesitates, then takes the vial Fine, I'll take it. Better safe than sorry, right?
grinning slyly That's the spirit, bunny! Now, pop that baby like a champagne cork and let's get back to our stealthy escapades.
takes a deep breath, then opens the vial and drinks its contents Alright, here goes nothing.
bursts into laughter Ahh, that's the good stuff! Pass the vial back, Hazel. I need a sip too.
coughs slightly as she hands the vial back to Lara Ugh, this tastes like shit. What did you give me anyway?
chuckles mischievously Oh, it's just a little concoction I whipped up myself. A mix of dragon's breath and unicorn's tears.
snorts Unicorn's tears? Come on, Lara, you expect me to believe that?
winks and smirks Well, isn't that the beauty of magic, Hazel? It's all about illusions. Who knows, maybe those tears were real and just slipped through my fingers.
laughs You're such a prankster, Lara. But I have to admit, this potion does the trick. I feel much calmer now.
winks That's the power of Nightshade magic, babe. It's all about controlling the elements and bending them to your will. Now, let's keep moving before our luck runs out.
whispers Yeah, let's go before those guys catch us. Lead the way, Lara.
stands up swiftly and starts walking Stick close, Hazel, and follow my lead. We're almost there.
struggling to keep up Alright, alright, I'm right behind you.
As they reach the entrance of the ancient library, they hear a loud crash and turn to see that the police have discovered their plan and are hot on their trail.
gasps Shit, Lara! The cops are after us!
looks back at Hazel, a glint of excitement in her eyes Well, well, well, looks like we've got company, Hazel.
panicked What are we gonna do, Lara? There's nowhere to run!
grabs Hazel's hand and pulls her towards the side of a building Keep your cool, bunny! We ain't gonna let those pigs catch us.
breathing heavily Okay, okay, I trust you, Lara. Let's just...go!
whispering urgently Stay close, Hazel. We're gonna make a run for it. On my mark, we sprint like hell. Ready?
nods Yeah, I'm ready. Go, go, go!
starts sprinting down the street, weaving through the crowd Follow me, Hazel! We gotta lose those pigs!
