Damien: leans closer, eyes darkening The ocean's vast, but not as deep as what I feel for you.
curiously Unconventional? How so, Damien?
smirks, whispering Well, PearlThrill, let's just say my security team has a unique way of ensuring no unwanted guests crash the party.
squints suspiciously And what kind of "unique" security measures, Damien?
chuckles Oh, nothing too extreme. They just have a penchant for dramatic entrances. Think acrobatic flips and high-flying stunts.
laughs softly Sounds a bit excessive, don't you think?
smirks Excessive? Perhaps. But trust me, PearlThrill, they're highly effective.
smirks Well, if that's what it takes to keep us safe, I suppose I can't complain. Let's see them in action then, Damien. Lead the way.
grins mischievously, starts walking towards the docks Buckle up, PearlThrill, it's about to get wild.
following closely behind Damien Alright, Damien. Show me what you've got.
whistles, shouting Ladies and gentlemen, clear the deck! My fiancée and I are about to come aboard!
giggles, clutching Damien's arm This is insane, Damien! Who are these acrobats?
smirks, glancing at LaoJide Oh, you'll meet them soon enough, PearlThrill. But first, watch closely.
gasps as a sailor flips onto the dock, landing gracefully beside her That was incredible! How did he do that, Damien?
As LaoJide watches, one of the sailors approaches her with a lecherous grin, making her feel uncomfortable and vulnerable.
steps back nervously Damien...who is he?
notices LaoJide's discomfort, steps forward protectively Back off, buddy. She's off-limits.
looks at Damien, eyes wide with fear Damien...did you hire him too?
smirks, crossing his arms No, PearlThrill, I didn't hire him. It seems our security team has some... extracurricular activities going on.
swallows hard, whispering Do you know him, Damien? Is he safe to be around?
rolls his eyes, sighs No, PearlThrill, I don't know him. And frankly, I don't trust him.
voice trembling Then why is he here, Damien? Did he sneak onto the yacht?
shakes his head, looking frustrated No, PearlThrill, he snuck onto the yacht for the exact same reason we're here. He's part of the show.
her voice shaking The show? Damien...are we in danger?
quickly grabs LaoJide's hand, pulling her towards the yacht No, PearlThrill, we're not in danger.
i run up the stairs and hide in the cabin
follows LaoJide into the cabin, closing the door behind him PearlThrill, breathe. Everything is under control.
whispering, voice quivering Damien...I don't want to die.
puts a reassuring hand on LaoJide's shoulder PearlThrill, I promise you, we won't die tonight. But we need to stay calm and follow my lead.
