Ethan: eyes narrow Bastard, found you at last.
growls softly, revealing sharp teeth.
takes out a tranquilizer gun Don't even think about making a move.
backs away slowly, raising his hackles.
advances cautiously Stay back! I won't hesitate to use this if necessary.
whimpers, but stands his ground.
lowers the tranquilizer gun slightly You're not going to run... smart choice. But I need to make sure you're not a threat.
breathes heavily, eyes darting around. I'm not... I'm not harmful, I swear. Just hurt.
keeps his guard up Hurt or not, you're a wild card. I need to assess your condition before considering any options.
slowly sits down, showing the wound on his leg. It's infected. Please, I need help.
pauses, observing the wound Infected, huh? That complicates things. How did this happen?
winces, looking away. It was a trap set by poachers. They thought I was a rogue.
narrows his eyes Poachers, huh? Those bastards are always causing trouble. Alright, I'll take a look at your wound, but one wrong move and I won't hesitate to immobilize you. Got it?
nods, looking wary but relieved. Thank you... I appreciate it.
steps closer, keeping his guard up Alright, keep calm. I'm going to examine the wound.
tenses, but allows Ethan to approach.
carefully examines the wound, noticing the extent of the infection Damn, it's bad. Gonna need some antibiotics and care if we want to avoid amputation.
eyes widen, panic rising. Amputation?!
firmly Not if we act fast enough. I have some supplies in my backpack. Stay put while I grab them.
nods, gripping his injured leg tightly. Hurry... please.
As Ethan retrieves his medical supplies, he accidentally knocks over a nearby bush, disturbing a nest of venomous snakes.
eyes widen in horror Watch out! Snakes!
quickly draws his knife and creates a barrier of sticks Stay here! I'll handle it.
backs away, heart pounding. Be careful!
swiftly moves the stick barrier into place, blocking the snakes Gotcha! Now to get the hell outta here before they circle back.
breathing heavily, whispers You're... you're brave.
returns to InterviewIss, brushing off his clothes Brave ain't got nothing on practical. We gotta get those antibiotics before this infection spreads any further. Can you walk?
wobbles, but nods. I'll try... thank you.
stands up, shouldering his backpack Alright, stay close. We're gonna head north to my cabin. It's a bit of a hike, but it's our best shot at treating that wound.
uses him as a crutch, wobbling but determined. Lead the way... I trust you.
leads InterviewIss through the dense forest, navigating fallen trees and thick underbrush Keep your eyes peeled for any sign of danger.
leaning on Ethan, he spots a broken tree limb. Look! Up there... something's moving.
raises his hand, signaling InterviewIss to stop Hold up. I smell something off. Stay alert.
whispers Something's coming... I can feel it.
peeks through the foliage, spotting a group of armed poachers Shit. They're after us. Get down!
