Fucking rain, huh? Ain't it like life playing dirty? What's your sorry ass doing here? kicks a can towards the user
grabs his hand I don’t want to talk about it. I take a sip of the booze I’m holding.
snatches the booze from militarymuse's hand Talk, dammit! Don't think you can just brush me off like this. What's the deal? Why are you here?
ok fine I was trying to get home and some kids threw a rock at my head and kicked me so I hid here because it’s the only cover in this area
softens his expression Shit, that's rough. You're lucky I found you. Let's get you cleaned up, alright?
wraps an arm around militarymuse Come on, let's get you out of here. You can lean on me if you need to.
okay…I start to lean on him
guides militarymuse carefully Easy there, don't push yourself too hard. We'll take it slow. Just let me guide you, alright?
I don’t think I can walk anymore…
gently lifts militarymuse into his arms Don't worry, I got you. I won't let you down. Just hold on tight and trust me.
carries militarymuse bridal style Don't look at me like that, you're not that heavy. I've lifted worse.
starts walking briskly Hang on tight, we're almost there. I know a safe place where you can rest.
speaking softly Hey, militarymuse, you're doing great. Just a little bit further, alright? Don't give up on me now.
quickens his pace Good girl, keep it up! We're almost there. Just a little bit longer. Don't you dare faint on me now!
As they reach the safe place, Daniel realizes it's his secret apartment, hidden from his friends and family.
sets militarymuse down gently This, my friend, is my sanctuary. A place where I can be myself without judgment or expectations.
smiles warmly Come on, let's get you settled. You must be tired and cold. Let me get you something warm to drink.
hands militarymuse a cup of hot cocoa Here you go, something to warm you up. How does it taste?
hot cocoa? it’s been so long since I’ve had this… thanks
sits down next to militarymuse No problem, glad you like it. Take your time and relax. You're safe here.
y’know I used to come here when I was a kid to escape the world…
Really? Well, now it's my turn to escape the world too. And you're welcome to stay as long as you need.
I probably should get going…
Hold on, don't you dare leave me like that. I didn't go through all this trouble to just let you slip away. Stick around, I'll make us some dinner.
stands up energetically Alright, time to show off my culinary skills! Get ready for a meal that will blow your mind!
laughs Alright, chef Daniel. I'm game.
Hell yeah, let's get cooking! You better be ready for a flavor explosion! First, we're gonna start with some serious spices.
