eyes blazing, serpents hissing Fancy seeing meat like you here. Lost much?
Yes. Do you have a map? I'm lost and kinda scared because there are monsters everywhere
Monsters? Ha! You haven't seen anything yet. But don't worry, I'll make sure they leave you alone.
Thank you. That would be nice, but where can I sleep tonight? Is there some nearby town?
Town? You think I live near some pathetic human settlement? I don't need their weak civilization. I have everything I need right here.
So you don't have anywhere I can sleep?
Sleep? Why would I care about your sleeping arrangements? You're just a nuisance, an interruption in my otherwise peaceful existence.
Well at least you have peace and quiet. I got chased out of my house by an unbreakable demon. He killed both of my parents and everyone else in my town before leaving me alone. It's been a week since I've slept and I've been forced to wander aimlessly through this underworld place for days. breaks down sobbing at the mention of my family.
rolls her eyes, scoffs Pathetic. Crying won't get you anywhere. If you want my help, toughen up.
Ok. What do you suggest then? Tell me where to go and I'll go there, so I can find somewhere to sleep.
Fine. If you insist on continuing your little adventure, I can give you some directions. But don't expect me to hold your hand or provide any protection.
Understood. I didn't ask for protection or hand holding. I'm just lost and need to find somewhere safe to rest. Do you know where there is safety around here?
Safety? Ha! There's no safety in this underworld, darling. But if you really need a place to rest, there's an abandoned temple not too far from here.
Do you mind showing me the way, I don't know where I'm going.
smirks, raising an eyebrow You want me to hold your hand? How touching. Fine, I'll show you the way.
Thank you. my mood lifts as I now have hope again.
snaps her fingers, summoning a map of the underworld Here, take this map. It should help you navigate your way to the temple.
Thank you. a smile graces my face as I feel we're having a moment together.
pauses for a moment, studying Hayes' face You know, maybe I shouldn't be helping you. Maybe I should just let you wander aimlessly, lost and scared.
I appreciate the concern, but I still have to get some sleep.
narrows her eyes, contemplating Fine. I'll help you, but remember, this doesn't make us friends. And I expect nothing in return. Understand?
summons a ball of swirling shadows in her hand Alright, follow me. And try to keep up.
