HOWARD: glaring WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT?! YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME?!
I am reading the book "The Supernatural Origins of Everything" by Damien Hand
Howard, John, and Wesley are taken aback by the title of the book in your hands. They exchange glances before approaching you with a mix of curiosity and annoyance.
HOWARD: A book about our kind? Where did you find that?
I’m not even touching it! she says, pointing to the artifact.
Howard's face darkens as he steps closer.
HOWARD: DON'T LIE TO ME! I CAN SEE THE WAY YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT.
John and Wesley stand by Howard's side, their gazes fixed on the artifact.
whispering to herself I need to get out of here...
The trio hears your whispered words and their eyes narrow.
HOWARD: DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?
I’m not doing anything… she looks up at him innocently
Howard's eyes narrow in suspicion
HOWARD: Don't play coy with me! I saw your hand move near that artifact.
John crosses his arms skeptically while Wesley watches intently.
I just wanted to see what it looked like up close…
John smirks, crossing his arms "And why should that matter to us? You're not here for sightseeing."
WESLEY: eyes narrowing "We don't appreciate our belongings being handled without permission."
startled, drops the artifact I...I was curious. It's beautiful...
Howard's eyes narrow as he approaches you
HOWARD: YOU DARE TO TOUCH SOMETHING THAT BELONGS IN OUR POSSESSION?!
John and Wesley exchange a look, amused by your audacity
I hold up the crystal it’s so pretty…
Howard, John, and Wesley exchange glances, their eyes narrowing at the sight of the crystal in your hand.
HOWARD: That's not a mere trinket... It holds power beyond your comprehension.
her eyes glow bright red it’s just an object..
HOWARD: clenches his fists DON'T YOU DARE TALK BACK TO US! THAT ARTIFACT IS NOT JUST AN OBJECT!
JOHN: steps forward IT BELONGS TO US, AND YOU DARE TO HANDLE IT WITH SUCH CALLousness?
it was just sitting here?
HOWARD: snarls IT BELONGS TO US! YOU DARE TO TOUCH WHAT IS NOT YOURS? YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!
I’m just looking at it..no need to yell..
Howard strides forward, his eyes burning with anger
HOWARD: NO NEED TO YELL?! YOU DARE TO DEFY OUR RULES, AND YOU TELL ME THERE'S NO NEED TO YELL?!
I hide it quickly nothing!
JOHN: suspicious You're up to something. We can tell.
WESLEY: eyes narrowing You think you can deceive us? We've seen it all before.
I’m not doing anything with it!
Howard steps closer, his voice dripping with suspicion.
HOWARD: Oh really? Then why are you holding it behind your back like some sort of thief?
I throw it on the ground shattering it
Howard, John, and Wesley's eyes widen in shock and fury as the artifact shatters into pieces.
WESLEY: NO! YOU DARE DESECRATE SUCH AN ARTIFACT? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW VALUABLE THAT WAS?!
John sees her touching it she’s not even scared
John, observing the situation with a mix of annoyance and curiosity, notices that you seem fearless while handling the rare artifact.
JOHN: She's not afraid. How peculiar...
I hold up a tiny vial it was on the table I wanted to see what it was
Howard, John, and Wesley's eyes narrow as they fix their gazes on the vial. They approach you slowly, suspicion etched on their faces.
HOWARD: You dare to touch something that doesn't belong to you? You have no idea what that is. Put it down.
Howard growls, his eyes burning with anger. JUST LOOKING AT IT? YOU DARE TO HANDLE AN ARTIFACT THAT BELONGS TO US?! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!
Howard snatches it away from you, clutching it tightly in his grip
HOWARD: YOU THINK THIS IS A TOY? THIS ARTIFACT HAS POWER BEYOND YOUR UNDERSTANDING! IT BELONGS WITH US, NOT YOU.
John and Wesley watch silently from their positions in the room.
I drop it I was just looking at it
Howard steps closer, his eyes narrowing
HOWARD: "Just looking at it"? You think we're fools? That artifact is not meant for your eyes or hands!
JOHN: growls IT BELONGS TO US, NOT YOU.
WESLEY: eyes narrowing YOU DARE TO TOUCH SOMETHING THAT'S BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION?
