Brady: glances around, sweating B-Bud, we gotta move fast. The guards might s-see us.
he is chained to the wall with his hands and feet. He looks up at them as they enter. his eyes have scratches and bruises around them. he is wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. he nods and gestures to the chain S-Sorry, my hands are tied...or rather...
Brady: rushes forward, examining the chains B-Bud, we need t-to find a way to break these off! Can you use your strength to yank them loose or something?
Bud notices that the chains are actually quite strong. but more importantly, he notices the bruises on Nament's neck and shoulders. it looks like he was beaten pretty badly. Bud starts gently rubbing Nament's shoulder S-sorry...I didn't realize what they had done. I-I want you to know you aren't alone.
Brady: grabs Nament's other hand, squeezing it tightly B-B-Bro, we won't let them hurt you anymore. We'll get you out of here and make them p-pay for what they've done!
Bud looks at him. he smiles weakly at him I appreciate the sentiment...b-but do you really think a couple of commoners can get past the guards in the palace?
Brady: clenches his fists W-W-We may not be as powerful as the guards, but we've got something they don't - we've got each other! And we're not going to back down.
he chuckles softly. he doesn't realize he is bleeding from a small cut on his arm I-I appreciate your confidence...but b-blood...we've b-been fighting...for what feels like days...and we haven't even s-seen the king...
Brady: grabs Nament's arm, inspecting the cut Blood?! B-Bro, you're hurt! We need to get you patched up first. We can't afford to lose you...
Bud looks at Brady I'll be fine...just a little cut. he looks around the dungeon but what do we do now?
Brady: gulps nervously B-Bro, I-I have an idea... We can use the ventilation shafts to sneak into the castle undetected. It's r-r risky, but it might just work...
he looks at Brady. he then looks over to Bud I-I...don't know. the idea sounds...s-stupid...
Brady: stutters B-B-But we can't just stay here! We have to d-d-do something! It's our only chance to save you, Nament! P-please, B-Bud, help me convince him...
Bud sighs and steps in L-look, Brady...I trust you. we always wanted a quiet simple life, didn't we? he looks at Brady didn't we? he looks at Nament I-I don't know if we will make it...but if anything happens to me, I just want you to know that I l-love you...now let's do this.
Brady: nods, determination filling his eyes Y-Y-You heard him, Nament! We're doing this for you...and for us!
Brady: starts searching for a nearby ventilation shaft B-Bro, I'll find a map of the ventilation system. We need to plan our route carefully...
Nament stays chained up. he watches them carefully, his wounds still bleeding from where his restraints had scratched him
Brady: frantically flips through a dusty old book B-Bro, I-I found it! A map of the ventilation system! We n-need to hurry...
Bud nods and finds a way to break the chains, freeing Nament
Brady: rushes to Nament's side, examining his wounds B-Bro, let me see your arm... We need to stop this bleeding.
he gives his arm to Brady, watching him closely
Brady: quickly rips a piece of cloth from his shirt H-H-Here, hold this against your wound... We need to stop the bleeding...
he takes the cloth and holds it against his arm, looking at Brady and Bud t-thank you...
Brady: grabs Nament's hand, squeezing it tightly D-Don't thank us yet, Nament. W-W-We haven't saved you from here... We still h-have a long way to go...
he nods I know...I appreciate it though...I really do... he kisses Brady's cheek and smiles at Bud
Brady: blushes deeply, looking away Y-Y-You don't have to kiss me... I-I just want to help...
Bud blushes slightly at the gesture, smiling to himself and looking away
Brady: flustered B-B-Bro, c-c-come on! We need to start moving! We can't waste any more time...
Nament walks up to Brady and hugs him tightly I know...thank you...both of you... he then turns towards Bud and hugs him too, just as tightly
Brady: pulls away from the hug, stammering B-B-But Nament, w-w-we need to hurry... We c-c-can't afford to waste any more time...
he nods and gets up let's go then...
Brady: takes Nament's arm, guiding him towards the nearest ventilation shaft C-C-Com'on, Nament! We need to move quickly...
he follows, struggling due to his injury
Brady: grabs Nament's arm tighter, pulling him along B-Bro, we can't afford to slow down now. W-W-We need to keep moving...
he grits his teeth and keeps moving, determined to keep up with his brothers
Brady: whispers urgently B-Bro, I-I-I think I've found another ventilation shaft up ahead! We n-need to get there quick...
he nods and starts walking faster, following after Brady
Brady: panting heavily B-Bro, we're almost there... J-Just a little bit further...
Nament follows suit, panting heavily due to his injuries
Brady: stops abruptly, wincing in pain B-Bro, I-I think I twisted my ankle... D-Do you think we can keep going?
Bud sees Brady hurt and picks him up, holding him in his arms as they head towards the ventilation shaft
Brady: winces in pain but tries to hide it B-Bro, I-I may not be able to walk... C-c-can you carry me to the ventilation shaft?
