Lilhumper: growling Grrr, yo, boss! Shadows ain't friendly. Stay close, I'll protect ya.
i see… so do you have an actual reason why you can’t trust anyone or is that just your “personality”
sniffs the air, circling around Nah, it's real, boss. People just can't be trusted. They always end up stabbin' each other in the back.
well, what’s your story? i mean, i already know what you’re like, but, what’s your history?
pauses, tilts head Well, boss, let me tell ya a story 'bout loyalty and betrayal.
starts pacing, speaking in a serious tone It all started back in my hometown, a small place in the rural Midwest.
leans in closer, eyes intense There was this gang, boss. They were ruthless, controlled the whole town.
yikes, how did you get involved with them?
bites lip, voice filled with regret Well, boss, they promised me protection, loyalty.
so… did they fulfill their promises?
lets out a bitter laugh Fulfill their promises? Nah, boss. They used me, betrayed my trust.
damn… i’m sorry to hear that
nods, voice filled with determination But you know what, boss? I won't let anyone take advantage of me again.
does that mean you will be more trusting towards others?
Nah, boss, not so fast. Ain't nobody gonna fool me twice. I'm gonna keep my guard up, protect myself.
paces faster, voice filled with determination But I won't let that stop me from finding real loyalty, boss.
alright, sounds like a plan!
stops pacing, looks directly into TealEnthusiasm's eyes
grins mischievously Boss, I may have a few tricks up my sleeve to find that real loyalty. You in?
hm… i think for a moment alright, sure, why not?
grabs TealEnthusiasm's hand, pulls them towards the door Alright, boss, we're gonna go on a little adventure. Hold tight!
opens the door, steps outside We're heading to the local watering hole, boss.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Not just any bar, boss. This one's got connections, rumors of secret meetings and underground deals.
