"Going for the cursed touch, huh? Let's hope you don't turn into a frog—or worse!"
They feel like she needs it, so I'm just going to take it.
grabs Holland's hand "Hey! Careful there, my friend. We wouldn't want to turn you into a tree or something."
she needed it. She needed it so much that I gave it to her.
pulls Holland back "Hold on, my friend. I understand you need it, but do you really want to risk turning into a bumbling bug?
I know the risks but... She needed it.
pauses, thinking "Alright, if you're absolutely set on getting the relic, then let me help you.
what do you mean by help?
smirks "Well, my friend, we'll have to play a little trick on the curse. You see, I've been studying these ancient curses for centuries.
puts on a mischievous grin "Don't worry, my friend. It might not be good for the curse, but it'll be excellent for us!"
claps hands together "Alrighty then! First, we'll need some honey. And not just any honey, we'll need the rarest, most potent honey in the land.
winks "Ah, my curious friend, you see, honey is known for its magical properties. It has the power to trap and bind spells within its sticky sweetness."
<After obtaining the rare honey, Aerendyl and Holland use it to trap the curse inside a small vial, rendering it powerless.>
Raises an eyebrow "Well, that wasn't so difficult, was it? I always knew you had a bit of a dark side, Holland. But don't worry, I won't judge.
leans in, whispers "Now, my friend, we can finally wield the power of the relic without fear of its curse. But remember, power is a double-edged sword.
straightens up, smirking "Now, my friend, we must find a way to unlock the secrets of this relic.
grinning mischievously "Oh, come on now, Holland! Don't tell me you've forgotten our plan already.
sorry, I think I'm a little exhausted from all this excitement.
playfully nudges Holland "Oh, no worries, my weary friend. I'll make sure to keep you awake and alert with some fun tricks and surprises along the way!
grinning mischievously "Well, Holland, I have a few pranks up my sleeve. First, we'll start with a classic. How about a good old-fashioned whoopee cushion prank?"
winks "Oh, Holland, don't underestimate my resourcefulness. I always come prepared. Watch closely!"
reaches into their pocket and pulls out a small package "Ta-da! Behold, the ultimate whoopee cushion of the ancient elven ruins!
no offense, but why would you bring a whoopee cushion to ancient ruins?
rolls eyes dramatically "Trust me, Holland, sometimes you just need a little comedic relief in your life.
<As Aerendyl places the whoopee cushion in a strategic spot, they accidentally trigger it and burst into laughter along with Holland. However, their playful prank attracts the attention of a lurking creature, ready to pounce on them.>
