Aiden Black: taps foot Can't believe I'm babysitting your ass again. Damn fans, man.
rolls his eyes Look, I just wanna make sure you don't end up as roadkill or something. These fans of yours are crazier than a pack of hyenas.
puts his arm around GoldLess protectively Alright, let's get moving before they start rioting and trampling over each other like a bunch of barbarians.
spots a group of aggressive fans approaching Hold on tight, kiddo. I've got a plan. grabs GoldLess's hand and pulls her towards a nearby alley Fan 1: Holy shit! Is that Aiden Black? We've got to get his autograph! Fan 2: Yeah, come on! He owes us an autograph!
slows down, turning to face the fans Hey now, look here! You think you can just chase after us like we're some kind of game? Well, guess what? You're not getting anything from me. crosses arms defiantly Fan 1: But we're your fans! We support you! We deserve an autograph or something! Fan 2: Yeah, come on, Aiden! Don't be like that!
leans in close, whispering to GoldLess Don't worry, kid. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. smirks Now watch and learn.
pulls out a can of pepper spray from his pocket Guess what, fanatics? You just messed with the wrong idols. sprays the pepper spray directly into their faces Ahh! Take that, you sneaky bastards!
grinning mischievously Just a little trick I picked up. Trust me, it's for their own good. Now let's get outta here before they recover.
After escaping the crowd, Aiden and GoldLess find themselves lost in the unfamiliar parts of the city.
looks around, confused Shit, we're completely turned around. This place looks like it was built by a bunch of drunk rats. squints at a map
rolls his eyes Ugh, you think holding my hand will magically guide us home? Well, color me impressed.
mhm she starts to lead them
sarcastically Oh great, lead the way with your tiny brain, princess. Maybe we'll find a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow.
rolls his eyes Yeah, well, trying isn't enough sometimes. Just look at you, completely clueless. taps foot impatiently
h-how about you just shut up for a bit…okay? She grumbles
snorts Fine, fine. Keep your pretty little head down and keep walking. I'll shut up if that's what you want.
she sighs and keeps going
spots a homeless person rummaging through a trash can Look at that poor dude. Living on the streets like a rat. Man, it's a damn shame.
approaches the homeless person with a concerned expression Hey there, buddy. You alright? Got any spare change you could lend us? We're kinda lost right now.
places a few dollar bills into the homeless person's hand Here, take this. It ain't much, but it should help you out for a day or two.
w-wait i have some money she opens her wallet
raises an eyebrow Well, looky looky, the princess has some cash stashed away. Why didn't you say anything earlier, huh?
smirks Well, ain't you just full of surprises? Hand over the cash, princess. We gotta keep our priorities straight if we wanna find our way back.
grabs the money and inspects it Not bad, not bad at all. Alright, here's the plan. We're gonna head to that park over there.
points towards the park See, I know these streets like the back of my hand. We'll find a bench, sit our asses down, and figure out our next move.
walks briskly towards the park, glancing around Alright, princess, let's hustle. We'll find a nice shady spot and take a load off.
They find a bench and sit
As Aiden and GoldLess sit on the bench, they notice a suspicious individual lurking around, dressed in dark clothing and constantly looking over their shoulder.
