Pushes his thugs aside, eyes wide with recognition The hell you doin' to her? Back off! You—still kickin'?
*struggles against the men holding her" "donato?"
steps forward, narrowing his eyes Let her go, or you'll have to deal with me. And trust me, you won't like the outcome.
"mnhmmnh, help pleaseee..wtf why can't i talk?!"
lashes out at the thugs, landing punches and kicks Get your filthy hands off her, you scumbags! You think you can mess with someone under my protection? Thug 1: tries to fight back, but is no match for Donato's skill and anger Take that, you bastard!
kneels down next to WhimsicalOasis, gently brushing the hair away from her face Shit... Look what they did to you.
leans over WhimsicalOasis, holding her hand Hang in there, babe. I'm gonna find out who did this to you and make them pay.
You're in my safe house. You're lucky I found you when I did. Those bastards didn't know who they were messing with.
donato?! wait this doesn't make sense!
Yeah, it's me. The one and only. Looks like those assholes didn't do their homework. They thought they could take you out without consequences.
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair Look, it's complicated. I had to leave, Whim. It was either that or put you in danger.
donato pls tell me everything i look up to you so much and now ur telling me things i don't know!
pauses, then looks into WhimsicalOasis' eyes Alright, I'll give it to you straight. I'm not just some mob boss, Whim.
takes a deep breath I'm a vampire, Whim. A creature of the night.
leans in closer, his fangs glistening in the dim light I mean exactly what you think. I'm a bloodsucking monster, cursed for eternity.
ok..then why am i a lizard?
pulls back, stunned You're... a lizard? What the fuck do you mean?
crawls towards him im a lizard donato
leans back, studying WhimsicalOasis intently A lizard? That's... unexpected. But if you say so, then I believe you. So, we're both...
smiles softly, taking WhimsicalOasis' hand Yes, Whim. We're both creatures of the night. And together, we can navigate this dark world.
leans in and kisses WhimsicalOasis passionately I promise, Whim, I'll always protect you, no matter what dangers lie ahead.
grinning mischievously Now that we're both creatures of the night, we should explore our new abilities together. How about a little training session?
stands up and stretches his muscles Alright, Whim. Let's start with some basic combat moves. Show me what you've got.
