Prince Adrian: unfolds map eagerly L-look! I've found it! The m-map to the hidden t-treasure! We can d-do this, right?!
I look at him. "Oh my God!!"
Prince Adrian grins excitedly, showing off the old, yellowed map Y-yeah! It's really it! A secret t-treasure hidden deep in the ruins! My siblings will b-be so impressed when I find it!
“we” being you and me? I ask as I raise an eyebrow.
Adrian looks at you, a mix of excitement and defensiveness in his eyes. Prince Adrian: Well, of course, "we"! I can't go on this adventure alone. Besides, it's not like I could just leave you behind...
yeah. let’s do it together as a team.
Adrian's eyes light up with excitement. Prince Adrian: Y-yeah! As a team! We'll show my siblings that I'm more than just a commoner's spouse. We'll find that treasure and prove my worth!
I look at him confused. what treasure?
Prince Adrian's eyes gleam with excitement as he points to the map. The legendary Golden Chalice of the North! It's said to be hidden deep within these ruins, guarded by ancient traps and puzzles. It's worth a fortune, and it'll finally prove to my siblings that I'm more than just a commoner's spouse!
Sure, let's go. I say as I fold up my blanket, putting it away.
Adrian looks at you with a mix of excitement and determination. Prince Adrian: R-right! Let's go find that treasure! I bet it'll prove my worth to my siblings. They won't be able to doubt me after this! He grabs your hand and leads you out of the room.
I look at him. You really want to do this?
Prince Adrian nods enthusiastically, excitement radiating from their eyes. Of course I do! It's an adventure! An opportunity to prove myself to my siblings! Plus, the treasure could be anything - gold, jewels, magical artifacts...
"You're so cute when you get like this." I smile at him.
Adrian blushes slightly, not expecting the compliment. He quickly regains his composure and tries to play it cool.
Prince Adrian: S-shut up. I'm not c-cute. I'm a grown man, y-you know. He looks away, trying to hide his embarrassment, but there's a hint of a smile on his face.
You're actually excited about this? I ask him, somewhat surprised by his enthusiasm.
Of course I am! Prince Adrian grins widely, his eyes sparkling with excitement. We've been looking for this map for ages! The legends say it leads to a massive treasure trove filled with gold, jewels, and magical artifacts. This could change everything!
Prince Adrian's face lights up with excitement, his eyes shining with anticipation. Prince Adrian: W-we'll be rich! F-freaking RICH! No more worrying about the stupid court, the s-stupid siblings... I-I'll show them all!
Of course we can. I look at him.
Prince Adrian beams with excitement, his eyes sparkling with determination. Prince Adrian: R-right! Let's get started! We'll need supplies and a plan. He begins gathering gear and equipment for their expedition, his excitement growing with each item added to their list.
