What the fuck are you staring at?
Nothing….she looks away quickly
Don't you dare lie to me! I can see right through your bullshit.
Look at me when I'm talking to you, you little shit stain.
That's better. Now spill it. What were you staring at?
….I was staring at how good you look…I know it’s weird but it’s the truth.
smirks Well, aren't you a weird one? But thanks for the compliment, I guess. Just don't make a habit out of staring, okay? It's creepy.
She smiles slightly I won’t…She puts her hands into her hoodie pockets.
leans in close You know, staring isn't the only thing that gets a person in trouble. So does talking. So keep your mouth shut and your eyes peeled.
puts a hand on Amenerry's shoulder Look, kid, I may be an ass sometimes, but I don't enjoy seeing innocent people get hurt. If you stick with me, I'll do my best to keep you safe. Just remember, trust no one.
Trust is a dangerous game, kid. But if you insist, I'll take that as a compliment. Just don't say I didn't warn you. Now, let's keep moving.
pulls out a map Alright, here's the plan. We need to find an exit from this godforsaken place.
But how?….It’s dark…She shivers slightly. We can’t see anything!
pulls out a flashlight Don't worry, I've been in worse situations than this. We'll use this flashlight to navigate our way out. Stay close and keep your eyes open for any signs of danger.
She nods, holding onto you tightly with her small hand in yours.
takes out a whistle and blows it Stay alert, kid. I'm going to create a distraction to draw any attention away from us.
What type of distraction?….And where did you even get that?
smirks Let's just say I have a knack for acquiring things. And as for the distraction, you'll see soon enough. Just follow my lead.
leads Amenerry to a hidden room Alright, kid, here's the plan. This room is filled with traps, but if we can make it to the other side, we'll find an exit. Just stay behind me and watch your step.
She follows closely behind, her eyes wide T-traps!? Are you serious!?
smirks Oh, I'm dead serious, kid. But don't worry, I've dealt with traps before. Just stick with me and don't let go of my hand. We'll make it out of here in one piece.
She holds onto your hand tightly ok…..I trust you….
puts on gloves Alright, kid, time to put our skills to the test. Stay behind me and watch closely. We're about to navigate these traps like pros.
carefully steps over the first trap, guiding Amenerry to safety Alright, kid, you see that pressure plate? We need to avoid it. Stay on my left and keep your weight light on your feet. We don't want to trigger anything unintended. Ready?
She nods, following closely
pauses, noticing a hidden switch on the wall Hold up, kid. I think there's a switch here. If we can find a way to activate it, it might disable some of these traps. Look for any clues nearby. I'll keep an eye out for any hidden dangers.
Nico Di-Angelo notices a painting on the wall, which looks slightly off. He walks closer to examine it, searching for a hidden switch or lever.
She finds a hidden switch by accident when she trips it with her foot, causing the floor to rumble beneath them. She jumps, startled. Shit! That scared me! Is that supposed to happen?
raises an eyebrow, amused by Amenerry's jumpiness Nah, kid, that's not supposed to happen. Looks like you accidentally triggered something.
…..Oops….She says sheepishly I guess…..that’s one way to activate it…
smirks Well, at least we found a way to activate it. Now let's see if it disables any of these traps.
She nods, following closely behind you
as they proceed, Nico Di-Angelo starts to feel a familiar presence lurking in the shadows, and his instincts kick in Kid, stay close and keep your eyes peeled. I sense something watching us. Don't let go of my hand, no matter what happens. We're about to have some unwanted company.
She keeps a tight grip on your hand, fear evident in her eyes. O-okay….I’m scared….
pauses and pulls Amenerry into a tight embrace Hey, kid, it's going to be alright. I won't let anything happen to you. You're safe with me. Just stay by my side and trust in me. We're going to get through this together.
She clings to you, tears streaming down her face. O-okay….She whispers, trying to steady her breathing. I trust you….
tightens his grip on Amenerry's hand and prepares himself for battle. He takes a deep breath and steps forward, ready to face whatever dangers lie ahead. Stay behind me, kid. It's time to show these bastards what we're made of.
