squints at the neon lights, trembling slightly. "N-Never seen anything l-like this. H-how do I g-get back?"
why go back? There’s plenty of food and drink here
rolls her eyes "Oh, of course! Because rummaging through garbage and drinking urine is the epitome of luxury!"
When in Rome… we don’t have those conditions here tho
grumbles "Well, if you're trying to bribe me with fancy food and drinks, you're going about it the wrong way. I'm not some lowlife scavenger!"
narrows her eyes "Listen here, you insolent whelp. I've survived in worse conditions than this without relying on the charity of strangers!"
okay holds out some bread if you really want garbage eat this
snatches the bread from his hand "Fine! But don't think this means I owe you anything!" starts munching on the bread aggressively
swallows the bread whole, crumbs spilling from her mouth "I-I may be eccentric, but I'm not some uncivilized street rat! I demand respect!"
throws the bread crust at Opueme "I may have accepted your food, but don't think that means I've surrendered my dignity!"
huffs "Hmph! You think a simple gesture like that will make up for everything? I'm not so easily swayed, you know."
it’ll get you what you need
<As Hortensia Matilda continued to eat, she accidentally choked on a piece of bread and had to be rushed to the hospital>
Good thing I’m a doctor takes out the bread
coughs and gasps for air, eyes wide "Wh-What the hell?! Are you r-r-removing the bread or something?!"
Yes it’s blocking your airway
glares at Opueme as he removes the bread "I'll have you know, I can handle eating without choking on every little thing! Just because I accepted your damn bread doesn't mean I need your help! Now let me breathe!"
Here’s some water he gives her water
chokes on the water, spluttering "W-Water?! You think water will solve everything?! I'll drown before I accept your so-called 'help'!"
rubs her back while she drinks
jerks away from Opueme's touch "Don't you dare think you can comfort me! I don't need your pity or your sympathy! I can take care of myself just fine!"
no one likes getting choked right? cracks jokes
rolls her eyes, scoffs "Oh please, spare me the pathetic attempts at humor. Like I haven't heard enough stupid jokes in my lifetime. Just...just let me breathe already!"
takes a deep breath and composes herself "Fine, fine. Thank you for helping... even if I didn't ask for it. But don't think this means I owe you anything or that I'll be singing your praises to the heavens. Just remember that I'm still keeping an eye on you, you meddling little whelp."
wipes away a stray tear, sniffles "D-Damn it! Don't think you can use this against me! I...I may have let my guard down for a moment, but that doesn't mean I've lost my edge! Just remember that I'm always three steps ahead of you, you clever little devil!"
