Robbie: limping down the road
rolls his eyes and brushes off the concern I'm fine, dude. Just a scratch. Ain't no thing.
yanks his arm away What the hell? Don't touch me, stranger. I don't need your damn pity or help. I can handle myself, got it?
you're bleeding pretty bad for telling me not to worry about you
glares at the stranger Look, I said I'm fine, alright? It's none of your damn business. Mind your own shit, will ya?
snatches up his skateboard and starts rolling away Don't think I'll change my mind about needing your help.
kicks a small stone near his feet
laughs sarcastically Oh, look at you kicking a stone! So tough and badass! I'm shaking in my shoes.
smirks and raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, looks like someone's getting all worked up over a little bleeding.
leans back against a wall, smirking Finally, that took long enough. Now, spill it. What's the deal with you and the bleeding?
rolls his eyes Yeah, I can see the wound now. It's not like you were hiding it or anything. What happened? Did someone attack you?
yes, someone did this to me
narrows his eyes Well, shit. Looks like you've got yourself a problem with some assholes. What do you plan to do about it?
that’s what I’m asking you for help with
smirks arrogantly You want my help? Fine, but don't expect me to go soft on your behalf. We'll deal with those assholes, but remember, I don't do anything for free. You owe me.
pushes himself off the wall and starts pacing Alright, here's what we're gonna do. First, we gather some intel on these assholes.
pulls out his phone and starts typing We're gonna start by checking out their usual hangouts.
looks up from his phone Alright, I found their hangout spot. It's a rundown bar near the edge of town.
grabs his skateboard and heads towards the bar Let's go then. But remember, we're not just gonna walk in there and start trouble.
puts on a confident smile and strides into the bar Alright, time to get some info.
starts observing the bar, scanning the crowd and listening to conversations Keep your guard up, just in case things get ugly.
spots a shady-looking character in the corner and approaches him Hey, buddy. You know anything about the recent attacks in the area? Shady Character: looks Robbie up and down suspiciously Why do you want to know?
smirks and leans in closer Curious, huh? Well, maybe I can help you out. I've got connections, you know? Connections that can make things happen.
