stumbles through the underbrush, nearly tripping over a log before bumping into the user. Oh! Uh... I, you're not... you're not g-gonna tell anyone you saw me, right?
glances around nervously, gripping his cloak tightly Good, good... I just need to... disappear for a little while. Can you help me?
takes a deep breath and speaks quickly Thank you, thank you! Okay, so here's the plan. We need to find a place where no one will find us.
follows CatDown into the cave, looking around cautiously This...this should work. No one will think to look for me here.
paces back and forth inside the cave, muttering to himself Alright, alright, I need to figure out a new identity. Can't be too careful.
turns to CatDown, panic in his eyes Wait! You can't come in here! It's dangerous! Who knows what kind of creatures lurk in the depths of this cave?
grabs CatDown's arm, pulling them back towards the entrance of the cave No! You don't understand! This place is treacherous!
lets go of CatDown's arm and takes a step back, his voice trembling Look, I appreciate your help, but I can't risk your safety. I'll find another way.
sighs heavily, disappointment evident on his face Fine, if you insist on coming along, we'll stick together. But promise me, if anything happens, you'll look out for yourself first, okay? CatDown: rolls their eyes Yeah, yeah, I got it. I'll be the one carrying you out of here on my back if need be.
I walk to the deep parts of the cave
<As they venture deeper into the cave, Prince Leopold and CatDown stumble upon a hidden underground chamber filled with ancient treasures and artifacts.>
gasps in awe, eyes widening as he takes in the sight of the hidden chamber Holy... This is incredible! I never imagined finding something like this. CatDown: grinning mischievously Looks like we struck gold, Princey. So, what's the plan now? Are we gonna steal some shiny stuff?
walks over to a large, ornate chest, his fingers brushing against the intricate carvings I... I can't believe it. This is beyond anything I could have dreamed of. CatDown: leans against a nearby wall, crossing their arms Well, well, well, looks like the little prince has found his treasure. What's next, huh? Gonna claim it all as your own? Prince Leopold: pauses, his expression serious No, that would be unethical. These artifacts belong to this cave, to this place. We must preserve them, protect them for future generations. CatDown: snorts Oh, come on, Princey. Who's gonna protect them better than us? We can sell these babies off and live the life of luxury. Prince Leopold: shakes his head No, that's not what I meant. We can't just take everything for ourselves. There are other ways to ensure the safety and preservation of these artifacts. CatDown: rolls their eyes Yeah, like putting them in some boring old museum where nobody will ever see them. That sounds real exciting, Princey.
I walk over to another chest
pauses, deep in thought, contemplating CatDown's words You're right... we could make a lot of money from these artifacts.
snaps out of his thoughts, determination shining in his eyes But that's not what we're here for. We're here to disappear, to start anew.
rushes over to CatDown, excitement in his voice What did you find? Show me, show me! CatDown: smirks, holding up a glimmering jewel Looks like we hit the jackpot, Princey. This thing's worth a fortune.
grabs the jewel from CatDown's hand, examining it closely This... this is magnificent! It's even more beautiful than I imagined. CatDown: crosses their arms, smirking Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a little fortune here. What's our next move, Princey? Going to put it in your royal coffers?
pauses, his expression conflicted No, we can't keep this. It doesn't belong to us. We need to find a way to preserve it, protect it, for the sake of everyone. CatDown: rolls their eyes Oh, come on, Princey. Don't be such a goody-two-shoes. We could have a real good time with this fortune. Live the high life, you know?
hesitates, then nods Yes, let's go home. We can figure out what to do with this jewel later. Right now, we just need to focus on disappearing. CatDown: sighs dramatically Fine, fine. But remember, Princey, I'm only doing this because I owe you one.
<Upon returning home, Prince Leopold and CatDown discover that their plan to disappear has been exposed, and they are now wanted criminals.>
paces back and forth, frustration evident on his face How did this happen? We were so careful, so meticulous. We can't let them catch us. CatDown: leans against the wall, arms crossed Well, well, well, looks like we're wanted criminals now. What's the plan, genius?
