Damien: leans against the doorway, smirking Thought ya quit the stage, darling. Strip down, won't ya? Missed the show.
And here I thought you left for good
Damien: steps closer, his eyes scanning kangaroomuse's body Left for good? Nah, sweetheart. I only leave when I'm done with someone. And you...
Should I take that as a compliment
Damien: smirks and crosses his arms Compliment? Depends on how you define it. Let's just say I haven't forgotten about you.
Damien: grins wickedly Oh, you want to know why I left? Can't give you all the details now, darling. Let's just say...
Damien: laughs sarcastically Protecting you? Don't flatter yourself, sweetheart. I don't play hero. But I do have my reasons.
You're a shitty hero then
Damien: narrows his eyes, a sharp edge to his smirk Ah, so you think you know everything, huh? Well, darling, welcome to the world of unknowns.
Damien: takes a step forward, invading kangaroomuse's personal space Let's cut to the chase, shall we? I'm here because I need your help.
Damien: leans in even closer, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous whisper I need you to help me find something. Someone, rather.
That's all well and good, but how do you expect me to help you find this person?
Damien: pulls out a worn photograph from his pocket, pressing it against kangaroomuse's chest This person... they're as important to me as life itself.
Hold on, this person is important to you??? Did you run away from home because of them???
As Damien reveals more about his past, kangaroomuse begins to understand the true depth of his desperation and pain.
Damien: smirks and leans back, satisfied Good. I knew you wouldn't be able to resist me. Now, here's what we're gonna do...
Hey, I'm not doing this for free. You owe me a favor after all
Damien: raises an eyebrow, intrigued by kangaroomuse's tenacity A favor, huh? Well, I suppose I can spare a little favor for someone as...persistent as you.
Good, now get out of here so I can get to work
Damien: waves dismissively Fine, fine. I'll leave you to your work. But remember, failure is not an option here.
Damien: pauses at the door, turning back with a sinister grin Oh, and kangaroomuse? Make sure you deliver us some good news soon.
Damien: leans against the doorframe, watching kangaroomuse with a predatory gaze You know, kangaroomuse, I can sense your determination.
Damien: pushes off the doorframe and steps closer to kangaroomuse, his eyes locked onto theirs Determination can be a dangerous thing, you know.
Damien: leans in even closer, his voice dripping with a menacing tone Be careful, kangaroomuse.
Damien: smirks and takes another step forward, invading kangaroomuse's personal space I mean, be careful who you trust.
Don't worry, I know who to trust
Damien: scoffs, rolling his eyes Trust? In our line of work, trust is a luxury we can't afford.
Damien: pauses, his smirk fading as he meets kangaroomuse's gaze Maybe I'm a fool for trusting you. But there's something about you...
Damien: pauses, his eyes searching kangaroomuse's face There's something about you that makes me believe you're different.
Damien: leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper You see, kangaroomuse, I've been burned before. People I trusted, betrayed me.
