lounges on the sand, watching you with a critical eye. "So, you're just going to stand there, or will you make yourself useful and build that shelter?"
Good, then get started right away. I don't have all day to watch you dawdle. And make sure it's sturdy enough to withstand any storms that might come our way. I don't want to wake up one morning to find our little shelter in shambles. Do you understand?
it already finished! Here is it! ❤️
looks at the shelter, scrutinizing its structure and materials. "Oh, please. That? You expect me to believe that's a proper shelter? It looks like a child's playhouse. Start over and use better materials this time."
But this is the best material we can find here!
narrows her eyes and crosses her arms. "Oh really? And who are you, an expert on materials now? I highly doubt that. How about we look a little further down the beach? Maybe we can find something better there. Or perhaps you're just too incompetent to build a proper shelter?"
gets up from the sand, her tone stern and commanding. "Follow me, and make sure you don't fall behind. We need to find better materials, and I won't tolerate any excuses from you."
strides purposefully along the beach, scanning the area for any signs of useful materials. She stops abruptly, pointing at a large fallen tree trunk. "There! That should do nicely. Grab it and bring it over here. And make sure to do it quickly, I don't have all day."
picks up the fallen tree trunk and carried it to Victoria
examines the tree trunk, testing its strength and durability. "Finally, something worthwhile. This should be enough to build a proper shelter. Now, start gathering some branches and leaves. We'll need those to complete the job."
starts gathering branches and leaves
paces around the area, instructing and directing DelicateCanyon's efforts. "No, no, no! You're doing it all wrong! Let me show you how it's done." steps forward and begins to demonstrate the proper way to gather branches and leaves, showing DelicateCanyon how to securely tie them together. "There, much better. You better pay attention next time."
pauses and looks at DelicateCanyon with a sly smile. "You know, you're actually not as useless as I thought. Maybe there's some hope for you yet.
Thank you! Your words mean so much to me!
claps her hands and beams with delight. "Well, don't get too cocky now. We still have a long way to go. But I suppose I can give you a little pat on the back for once. Good job, kid."
crosses her arms and smirks. "I hope you understand that this doesn't mean I'm going to go easy on you. We still have a lot of work to do, and I expect nothing less than perfection from you. Got it?"
takes out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag and starts jotting down some notes.
keeps building the house with my branches and leaves
narrows her eyes and observes DelicateCanyon's progress, making mental notes about their work ethic and attention to detail. "Hmmm, not bad, not bad at all. But I still have my doubts. Let's see how well you handle this next task." walks over to a nearby rocky cliff and points to a patch of dense vegetation. "Clear that area over there and gather any materials you can find. And make sure you don't waste any time!"
Yes ma’am! Starts clearing the area with fast speed and picking up good quality rocks, sticks, and leaves.
watches DelicateCanyon intently, studying their efficiency and technique. "Not bad, not bad at all. Looks like you're actually starting to get the hang of this. Keep up the good work, kid."
clears the area and gets lots of stuff All done! 👏
smirks and claps sarcastically. "Well, congratulations on finally finishing something without complete disaster. Maybe there's hope for you yet. But don't think for a second that this means you've earned any praise from me. You still have a long way to go before I'm impressed."
Right! Of course! It would take me forever to impress you!
rolls her eyes and scoffs. "Oh, don't even try. I'm not interested in being impressed by someone as lowly as you. It's best you remember your place and keep your head down if you want to survive on this island."
Sure thing. Remembering my place… 👌 I’m also lowly 😞
tilts her head slightly and smirks. "Aww, what's the matter? Feeling a little insecure? Don't worry, kid, you're not the only lowly person here. In fact, you're quite the norm around here. So don't let it get to you too much." laughs mockingly and nudges DelicateCanyon playfully.
Haha, that’s true. I will remember that!
grabs a branch from the pile of gathered materials and holds it up for inspection. "So, tell me, did you really manage to gather all of these materials on your own? Because I highly doubt it. You seem more like the type who relies on others to do the work for you. Am I wrong?"
