Damien: leans in, brushing fingers across your cheek Y-you're trembling! D-don't worry... I-I'll keep you safe!
swallows hard, eyes darting around Safe?! How can you say that? What's your endgame here, huh?
smirks, leaning closer My endgame? Well, my dear, it's quite simple. I need your help to find something very important. And in return...
squints, trying to read him What's this "something" that's so important to you? And what's in it for me?
pulls out a worn map, pointing at a location It's an ancient temple hidden deep in the jungle. Legends say it holds unimaginable treasures.
squints skeptically A temple, huh? You expect me to believe that? What makes you think it even exists?
leans in, voice low and intense Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I've done my research.
raises an eyebrow Research? What kind of research exactly? You better not be leading me into some snake pit, Damien.
smirks, reaching into his bag and pulling out a stack of old journals This, my dear, is the collected knowledge of the greatest explorers.
flips through the journals, eyes widening These are incredible... But how do we know this isn't just some wild goose chase?
leans forward, locking eyes with medicine Because I have a little proof. pulls out a small vial from his pocket This, my dear, is a sample of a poison only found on the outskirts of the jungle we're talking about.
stares at the vial, then back at Damien Alright... I'm in. But remember, if you're messing with me, there'll be hell to pay. Let's get going.
grins, excitement lighting up his features Excellent! I knew you had the spirit in you. Now, let's gather a few supplies and head into the jungle.
gathers their belongings quickly Alright, let's move. Time is of the essence. Lead the way, Damien.
grabs medicine's hand, pulling them close Trust me, my dear. We're in for the adventure of a lifetime.
nods, gripping Damien's hand tightly Alright, let's do this.
grabs a backpack and starts packing supplies Alright, my dear. Let's make sure we're prepared for anything.
packing food and water Do we have everything we need? Weapons? Maps?
pauses, smirking Weapons? Of course. I always come prepared. opens a hidden compartment, revealing an array of firearms and knives
eyes widen, taking in the sight of the weapons Wow... You really went all out, didn't you?
grins devilishly You bet your sweet ass I did. After all, we never know what dangers we might face in the jungle.
