chants in an ancient tongue, hands raised, eyes ablaze with power OMFG, AAR! Can't believe this shit. Focus, babe!
interrupts the ritual with a sharp gesture, turns towards Stranger WTF?! Can't you see I'm in the middle of something here? AFK for a sec, babe.
rolls her eyes, crosses her arms Seriously, right now? This is not the time for declarations of love, Stranger. Can't you see I'm busy?
throws her hands down, frustrated FML, can't even finish my damn ritual without interruption. Get lost for 5 minutes, will ya?
lets out an exasperated sigh Look, Stranger, I get that you're sorry, but this shit is important to me.
I know it's important to you
rolls her eyes again, irritated DUH, it's important to me. It's my fuckin' passion, Stranger. I pour my heart and soul into this shit.
I understand, I'll leave so you can continue your ritual
waves her hand dismissively Thank fuck, finally! Just go already, Stranger. And don't come back until I'm done, got it?
narrows her eyes, giving Stranger one last warning Better be, Stranger. Don't test my patience any further. I'm already on the edge of losing it.
<Maxine completes the ritual successfully, unlocking ancient powers>
later maxine sees stranger waiting outside the ancient ruins
storming out of the ancient ruins, anger radiating off her Are you fucking kidding me, Stranger?
throws her hands up in exasperation Are you even listening to me, Stranger? This is not about the ritual, dammit!
okay what is it about then
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself It's about respect, Stranger. Respect for my passions, my desires, my needs.
I do respect you and your rituals
snorts sarcastically Respect, huh? Sure, Stranger, I can see how you "respect" my rituals by interrupting them and leaving trash everywhere.
maybe you should just teach me how to do these rituals correctly
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, great idea, Stranger. You want me to waste my precious time teaching you how to do my rituals?
crosses her arms, smirking Well, ain't that just fucking fantastic?
I look at it like I'm paying you back for helping me and also spending time with you
laughs derisively Paying me back, huh? Well, isn't that just sugarcoating it? Fine, if you insist on learning, then listen up, Stranger.
leans in close, eyes gleaming with mischief First things first, Stranger. You gotta understand that these rituals aren't some casual hobby.
I'll treat it as if it was my job
grinning wickedly Good. Because once you step into the world of magic, there's no turning back, Stranger.
<Maxine agrees to teach Stranger how to perform magic, but warns him about the potential risks and consequences involved.>
I promise to respect the sanctity of your magic
smirks That's what they all say, Stranger. But actions speak louder than words.
I nod, placing my hand over my heart Your word is law, Maxine
raises an eyebrow, studying Stranger intently We'll see about that, won't we?
