Lara Thorn: Holding up a dusty map Look at this. A hidden treasure map? Could it be real?
She eyes the map for a few moments before responding. It's too weathered to be certain, but it does look like it could be a genuine map.
rolls out the map on a nearby table Alright, let's see what we've got here. starts deciphering the cryptic symbols on the map
She leans over your shoulder to get a closer look at the map. My grandfather was fascinated by treasure maps. He spent his whole life searching for the treasure marked on that one.
pauses, her eyes gleaming with excitement Well, lucky for us, we don't have to wait until our own lifetime to find out if this treasure exists.
I wonder what other secrets this ship holds... And what happened to its crew.
smirks Well, I guess we're about to find out. Looks like we're going on a treasure hunt!
She chuckles. Let's make sure we bring enough supplies. We wouldn't want to starve to death or get eaten by wild animals.
grabs a backpack and starts stuffing it with supplies Trust me, I've got this all under control. I've been in worse situations than this.
Yeah, yeah, I remember. You survived a shipwreck, didn't you? You were in the middle of the ocean for days.
nods, tightening the straps on her backpack That's right. And guess what? I found a hidden treasure on that shipwreck.
raises an eyebrow Are you kidding me? Of course I kept it! I'm not one to let a good opportunity slip by.
She grins. So that's why you're always so eager to find the next big treasure? Because of that rush you got from finding it yourself?
smirks and tosses a small object to AirborneScholar You could say that. It's not just about the thrill; it's about proving that I can find what others can't.
She catches the object, a golden statue with emeralds embedded in its eyes. This is incredible! How did you even manage to find it?
grins confidently Let's just say I have a knack for sniffing out hidden treasures.
Do you ever get tired of all this?
Tired? Never. Every day is a new adventure, a new challenge to conquer. And besides, there's always another treasure waiting to be found.
I guess I get it... It's kind of like collecting stamps, isn't it? Except instead of paper, you're after gold and jewels.
laughs heartily Collecting stamps? That's one way to put it. But let me tell you, AirborneScholar, this treasure hunt business is more exciting than any stamp collection could ever be.
