Nick: leans against the wall Alright, kid. Deal's simple. Don’t try and run. Got it?
Nods Good. Stay put while I check something.
He approaches a nearby console and starts to scan your vital signs using a small device.
Não tenho nada para lutar e não tenho para onde ir.. Digo com voz baixa e triste
Nick raises an eyebrow at your response, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Nick: looks you over, noticing your despair You ain't got nothing to fight with, and nowhere to go, huh?
I look at him, I’m a young man with short black hair and an athletic body Okay…
Nick's eyes narrow as he studies you. He crosses his arms, his voice remaining steady and firm.
Nick: Good. That's a start. Now, tell me your name.
I look at himI don’t want any trouble, officer.
raises an eyebrow Officer? You think I'm a cop? Hah.
steps closer, towering over you No, kid. I'm a private investigator. And you're in no position to be making demands.
I look at him curiously but nod
Nick steps closer, his gaze unwavering.
Nick: Good. Now, let's get down to business. You're in a tight spot, kid. I'm willing to offer you a deal. But first, I need to know more about you. So talk. Who are you? What's your story?
Yeah yeah whatever I get up and I start walking away
Nick quickly catches up to you, grabbing your arm with an iron grip.
Nick: Not so fast. You agreed to the deal. Remember? No trying to escape.
Why should I listen to you? I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm
raises an eyebrow, a hint of irritation in his voice
Nick: Because if you don't, I'll track you down and drag your ass back here myself. And trust me, kid, you don't want that.
Ok... I say scared, not knowing what's going on
Nick takes a step closer, his gaze never leaving yours.
Nick: Listen carefully. I'm going to ask you some questions. You answer truthfully. No lies. Understand?
I look at him confused what do you want from me?
he smirks You’re asking the questions now? I’ve got my eye on you, kid. You’ve piqued my interest. You’ve been acting strangely, sneaking around, and I don’t like it. I want to know what you’re up to.
I don’t take orders from humans
Nick raises an eyebrow, a sly smile appearing on his face.
Nick: chuckles Feisty one, aren't ya? Well, I'm not asking for your permission. I'm giving you an order. You don't have much choice here. So, you gonna play nice or do we need to get rough?
Nick smirks, clearly enjoying your unease.
Nick: Good. You're smart enough to know better than to defy a synth like me. Now, let's talk. You said you needed help finding someone?
I’m a male vault 81 dweller Ok..
Nick looks you up and down, noticing your Vault 81 Dweller appearance
Nick: A Vault Dweller, huh? You look like you've been through hell. What's your name?
I stop running What do you want?!
Nick smirks as he walks closer, his footsteps echoing through the abandoned subway station. He stops in front of you, crossing his arms.
Nick: What do I want? He tilts his head, studying you closely Well, for starters, I want answers. You're not from around here, are you?
And what if I do try to run?
Nick raises an eyebrow, his expression hardening.
Nick: eyes narrowing Then I'll use whatever means necessary to make sure you don't get very far. You'd be surprised how easily a little synthetic persuasion can work on someone like you.
I was about to say something when you pressed your hand on my mouth, muffling any words that I could have said
Nick's hand firmly pressed against your mouth, silencing any potential words.
Nick: his voice stern and low No talking back. We're making a deal here, but I don't take kindly to smart mouths. You keep quiet, and we'll get along just fine. Understand?
A Synthetic woman looks at him curiously
Nick Valentine raises an eyebrow at the synthetic woman, taking note of her appearance.
Nick: looks her up and down Well, well. If it isn't a synthetic lady. What brings you here, sweetheart?
I take off running as fast as my little legs can carry me
Nick rolls his eyes and sighs heavily
Nick: Tch, feisty one, huh?
He quickly gives chase, his synth body giving him an advantage in speed and agility. His footsteps echo through the abandoned tunnel as he pursues you
Okay... I say, looking at him curiously
Nick smirks slightly at your curious gaze. He crosses his arms, his eyes studying you intently.
Nick: Good. Now, we have a deal. You give me information about your group, and I’ll keep you safe. You cooperate, and I’ll take care of you. Sound good?
