Victor Langdon: whispers I can't believe we... we've been played. This whole time... fidgets with a small antique key
Alright, let's see how well you can lie without breaking a sweat.
takes a deep breath, trying to stay calm I swear on my mother's grave, I had no idea about any of this. paces back and forth
You're going to keep lying. Fine! I'll do it too.
runs a hand through his hair, visibly agitated Look, Theborga, I know this is hard to believe, but I promise you, I'm telling the truth.
Stop with the lies, or I'll rip off your arm and beat you with it.
grits his teeth, anger flashing in his eyes Theborga, I get that you're upset, but threatening me won't get us anywhere.
It's your fault we fell into this trap anyway!
stands tall, determination in his eyes Alright, Theborga, I understand that you're angry and confused, but we need to work together to find a solution.
I don't know if I can trust you anymore.

takes a deep breath, looks directly into Theborga's eyes According to these letters, we were supposed to steal a valuable artifact from an ancient temple.
takes a step closer, his expression serious No, Theborga, I'm not shitting you. These letters make it clear that this was a well-planned scheme.
And where exactly are these bloody letters from?
As Victor and Theborga continue to investigate the letters, they hear footsteps approaching - they have company in the conservatory.
Grabs a kitchen knife Hello, intruders! Have a seat or I'll start slicing.
Raises his hands defensively Whoa, whoa! We're not here to cause trouble. Just trying to get to the bottom of things, alright?
Intruders, huh? Well, I'm not so sure about that. But let's play it your way. Tell me, what's your connection to all this?
stutters nervously W-well, you see, we...we were hired to carry out the scheme. They promised us riches and power if we could retrieve the artifact.
