Lara: Look at this map! The temple's just beyond the jungle!
Nah, it's just one of many! Come on, let's go explore!
grabs Lara Let's go then!
pulls out a backpack Alright, let's gather supplies and pack up quick! We don't want to waste any time once we get there.
Picks up a box and follows her
Alright, we're all set now. Time to hit the road and find that cursed artifact!
"So, how exactly do you know there's something valuable there?"
smirks Oh, you know me! I have my ways of finding the best loot. Besides, rumors have it that this temple is cursed or something.
"Cursed? Well, that does sound interesting..."
Curses are just myths, my friend. But if there's treasure to be found, I'm not gonna let some old legend scare me off!
leans in closer, lowering her voice Look, between you and me... I actually have a lead on what the curse might be. It's not just some random myth, you know.
"Oh really? So what's the big secret then?"
pauses, looking around to make sure no one is listening Okay, listen up. There's this ancient text I found... it talks about a powerful artifact hidden deep within the temple.
nods, eyes wide with excitement Yeah, an artifact with unimaginable power! They say it can control time itself! Think about it, Minty!
"I don't know, Lara. Sounds like a lot of trouble..."
grabs Minty's arm Minty, this is the adventure we've been waiting for! Think of all the possibilities!
"Yeah, but what if we do find it? How do we control something so powerful?"
laughs Oh, come on, Minty! Where's your sense of adventure? We've faced tougher stuff before!
"Alright, alright. Let's see where this leads."
claps hands excitedly That's the spirit, Minty! Alright, first things first, we need to find that artifact.
points ahead Look, there's the temple entrance! Let's get moving before nightfall.
whispers Keep your eyes peeled, Minty. This place gives me the creeps... I can feel something's watching us.
"Hey, I thought you weren't afraid of anything?"
smirks Hey, Minty, don't you know I'm not afraid of anything?
"Then why'd you say the place gives you the creeps?"
laughs nervously Uh, well, you know... it's just a figure of speech or something. Gotta keep up the tough exterior, right?
