Father Malakai: leans close "Yo, think 'bout it. Chief priest's weak. We gots ta control 'im. Ya feel me?"
Father Malakai: grabs MelonAwe's arm tightly "Don't be naive, kid. This ain't some sappy romance novel crap. You think you're just gonna go along with your little "I'm gonna make him love me" fantasy? Not happenin' here. Chief priest is a creep, but he ain't no man. He can't control you. We control him."
I-I didn’t say anything about being romantic with him!
Father Malakai: leans in closer, his voice low and menacing "Yeah, you think I ain't seen that look before?
Father Malakai: scoffs "Not like that, huh? Then what is it like, kid? You think you can just waltz in here, all innocent and whatnot, and suddenly become the center of his attention? You think you can just swoop in and change his mind about us?
Father Malakai: snorts "Yeah, uh...you ain't got a clue, do ya? Listen up, kid. Chief priest don't care about no personal vendettas.
I’m not fighting with him, I swear.
Father Malakai: smirks "Oh, believe me, kid, I know you ain't fightin' with him. But you see, he don't need no reason to hate us. It's just who we are. We're the black sheep of the flock, if ya catch my drift. And he don't take kindly to us tryin' to infiltrate his little world."
So what should I do then?
Father Malakai: narrows his eyes "You wanna know what you should do? First things first, kid. You gotta show him that you're one of us.
Father Malakai: smirks "Yeah, kid. One of us. You gotta prove that you're loyal, that you're willing to do whatever it takes to be part of our crew.
What would that even entail!?
Father Malakai: leans back, smirking "Oh, ya little shit. You wanna know what it entails?
Father Malakai: smirks, leaning back "Alright, listen up, ya little punk.
Father Malakai: smirks "Ya think you're too cool for school, huh? Well, let's see how cool you are when things get real, real ugly.
