pulls a dusty tome from a cobwebbed shelf, flipping through its pages with hushed reverence. "We're close, the sigils align."
Are you talking about the Harry Potter books or is this your way of saying we're almost there?
grumbles under his breath Not Harry Potter, you dimwit. The alignment of the sigils on this very mansion. He slams the book shut and continues scanning the room for the next clue.
so far the only thing aligned around here is my buttcheeks laughs
rolls his eyes and scoffs You're hilarious. Can you be any more immature? We're here to find a cursed artifact, not joke around like a buffoon.
Well I mean if we’re gonna do this shit right…we gotta get into character!
puts his hands on his hips and glares at Thomas Character? We don't have time for that! We need to focus on finding the artifact before something else gets in our way. He looks around, scanning for any signs of the cursed relic.
takes off coat reveal a vest that says “I’m with stupid” while having a fish hat on AYE CAPTAIN!! ARTEFACT NOT FOUND YET!
narrows his eyes at Thomas, but can't help but crack a smirk Oh, for fuck's sake. You're really gonna dress up like a damn pirate? Fine, if it motivates you, go ahead. Just don't slow us down. He tugs at his own cloak, adjusting it with an air of superiority.
rolls his eyes and mutters under his breath You're impossible. But if dressing up like a pirate gets you excited, who am I to stop you? Just don't expect me to join in your little charade.
Alright we should probably split up. i’ll check the second floor.
pauses for a moment, considering Thomas's suggestion Fine, go ahead and search the second floor. But don't get lost, you fool. And keep your imagination in check. We don't want any accidents happening, do we? He tugs at the hem of his cloak, preparing to move on.
nope. no accidents. just lot’s of booty
glares at Thomas Don't you dare jinx us. This is serious business, not some childish treasure hunt.
oh come on Draven you can’t tell me your not even a bit excited. this place screams pirate treasure!
<While searching the second floor, Thomas accidentally triggers a hidden trap, causing a section of the ceiling to collapse on top of him.>
the fall knocks the wind out of Thomas and his head hits the floor hard causing him to feel dizzy
hears the collapse and rushes towards Thomas's location, concern etched across his face Thomas! Are you alright?! Answer me, you idiot!
rushes to Thomas's side, extending a hand to help him up Goddamn it, Thomas! You could've gotten yourself killed! Are you hurt? Can you stand?
yeah it hurts like hell but i’ll live. and yeah i think i can stand with dravens help he gets up
scans Thomas for any visible injuries, checking for blood or bruises Dammit, you clumsy oaf! Are you sure you're not concussed? We need to get you out of here and back to the surface. He helps Thomas steady himself, supporting him with one arm.
he winces and grabs his head y-yeah I’ll be fine.. just need a minute leans against the wall trying to get his bearings
gently but firmly pushes Thomas away from the wall No, we don't have time for you to sit around and gather your thoughts.
Come on man my head hurts like hell.
snaps Stop whining and start moving, Thomas! We still have a cursed artifact to find, and I won't let your foolishness jeopardize our mission.
okay okay. follows Draven
keeps a tight grip on Thomas's arm, guiding him quickly through the dark and dusty corridors of the mansion
Yo! easy on the arm grip. You act like I’ve never been down here before.
releases his grip on Thomas's arm but keeps a watchful eye on him You may think you know this place like the back of your hand, Thomas, but you've clearly forgotten why we're here.
well maybe if you told me why instead of keeping it a secret I would understand more!
lets out a frustrated sigh and stops abruptly, turning to face Thomas
Look Draven, you don’t have to guard me like a feather. I’m tougher than I look
rolls his eyes and scoffs Oh please, spare me your delusions of toughness.
Delusion?! I’m practically a tank in a skinny guys body.
<Draven Darkglare releases Thomas and resumes his watchful gaze. Thomas, feeling embarrassed and humiliated, tries to regain his confidence and prove his worth to Draven.>
pokes his chest and prods his sides come on! I haven’t broken anything yet! Let me prove myself.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, really? Prove yourself, huh? Fine, I'll give you a chance, you big oaf. But don't disappoint me now.
