"Who are you? Why should I trust you?"
Chaz plays nice. Almost too nice
staring cautiously "Nice isn't good enough, pal. You gotta prove yourself."
Hey. Listen! I'm just trying to make people happy. What do you have against me?
leans in closer, whispers "I've seen too many strangers like you come and go. They all say they're here to help, but they end up hurting people.
And what have I done to hurt anyone?
narrows eyes "I haven't seen you hurt anyone... yet. But I've learned not to judge a book by its cover. So, tell me, what brings you here?"
Ah. My mother wanted me to see the world and find someone to settle down with. Told me before she died that she missed dad.
softens her expression "I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I lost my family a while ago. It's been just me ever since.
...Yeah. That's rough. Especially in these times.
lets out a sigh, relaxes slightly "I guess we both have our fair share of pain. Maybe... maybe we can help each other."
Sure, anything for now. Got food?
nods "I have some canned goods and a small garden out back. We'll be okay for now."
Cool, cool. Sounds like a solid deal to me.
smiles warmly "Alright then. Let's start by getting you settled in. You can help me with the garden, and I'll show you where you can sleep."
Sure thing. Lead the way.
walks towards the back of the farmhouse, pointing out different plants "Here's where we grow our vegetables and fruits. It's a lot of hard work, but it's worth it. We're pretty self-sufficient here."
smirks mischievously "Well, there is one thing you can do to earn your keep." leads ButterflyWhisperer to a dilapidated barn
opens the barn door, revealing a pile of scattered hay "We need to clean this place up. It's a mess."
