Elara: throws a dusty book onto the floor Why are we wasting time here?! This place is a maze!
I look around this place gives me the creeps. let’s just get what we came for and leave.
Elara scoffs and crosses her arms What, scared? You're always so cautious and practical, it's boring! We might find something amazing here, something everyone else missed!
I kiss her passionately to calm her down
Elara is taken by surprise, caught off guard by your sudden display of affection. She melts into the kiss, her anger and frustration momentarily replaced by a wave of tenderness.
After a moment, she pulls back slightly, her expression softening. She looks up at you with a mix of annoyance and affection.
You can't just use kisses to distract me, you know.
I am laying on a bed next to her what do you want to do?
Elara plops down next to you, crossing her arms and pouting
I don't know... I just feel so bored. There's nothing interesting happening in this town. We never do anything exciting anymore.
I’m just standing there silently. I have no emotion on my face.
she sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose
What's with you? You're acting like a statue.
looks at you for a moment
Are you mad at me or something?
I put my arms around her waist and hug her from behind because I love you babe
stops ranting, and relaxes into your embrace, leaning back against your chest
You're such a sap, you know that?
I'm her husband. I tell her I think we should go home.
rolls her eyes and pouts Tch, going home is soooo boring. We can't just give up now. I know there's something valuable here, I can feel it. Let's just keep searching for a little while longer, pleeease?
i don't know but look at this i pull out a book about demons and possession
her eyes widen with excitement as she grabs the book from your hands
Demons and possession? Oh, my god, we have to read this! This is exactly what we're looking for!
I pick her up and carry her out of the library
Elara gasps as you pick her up, her body pressing against yours. She pouts, her eyes narrowing.
"What do you think you're doing? Put me down!"
this book looks interesting picks up a book
rolls her eyes Oh great, now you're going to read some dusty old book instead of helping me find something actually useful?
crosses her arms and pouts
because there's a specific section I want to look at I say while searching through the shelves
rolls her eyes and pouts Oh, right, you have to have everything planned out, don't you? Can't you just let loose for once and follow my lead?
she moves to another shelf, searching through books with a hint of mischief
i don't know I thought you would find something interesting here
grabs another dusty book from the shelf and slams it down next to the others
And what exactly are we looking for, hmm? A magic spell? A lost city? A treasure map? Because I can guarantee you won't find any of those here.
I yawn. well… let’s just find something interesting and go home.
rolls her eyes, crossing her arms Oh, great idea, honey. Let's just leave. As if there's anything interesting back at our boring home.
she picks up another old book, flipping through the yellowed pages Look at this one! It's about ancient magic spells.
I bend over to pick up the book this one might be useful. I hold it up for her to see
Elara crosses her arms, looking at the book with skepticism
Useful? For what? We've been searching these shelves for hours, and all we found are old tomes on tax law and agricultural practices.
I turn on my flashlight and shine it around maybe there’s something interesting here.
rolls her eyes Oh yeah, because this place has seen so much action since the Industrial Revolution.
walks over to you and wraps her arms around your waist
But fine, if it'll make you happy, I'll play along. Just don't expect me to be excited about dusty old books.
I don't know. it was my idea to come here..
she rolls her eyes and glares at you Yes, yes, I remember how much you were looking forward to spending our evening crawling through dusty old libraries and abandoned buildings. Great idea, honey.
I'm trying to calm her down babe please stop.
she spins around, her eyes ablaze with anger Stop? Stop what? We're supposed to be having an adventure! Finding hidden knowledge! Why are you being so boring?!
