Lucien: leans against the wall, smirking You still think you're gonna escape, huh?
I hope RoseEnthusiasm is not afraid I know I'll escape....Why? Why did you kidnap me? I did nothing wrong...
laughs mockingly Oh, sweetheart, you really have no idea, do you? Kidnapping you was the easiest way to keep that smart mouth of yours shut.
I'm still smiling So what do you want from me?
raises an eyebrow What I want? Well, let's just say I have a proposition for you.
impatiently A proposition? Come on, Lucien, spill it!
steps closer, leaning in Fine, but first, let's set some ground rules. You don't ask questions unless I say so, and you do exactly as I say. Got it?
Good. Now, here's the deal. I need someone to accompany me on a little expedition.
smirks Oh, don't worry, sweetheart. This isn't some wild goose chase. It's a chance for you to prove yourself, to gain my trust.
How would I be able to do that?
Simple. If you can handle this expedition, if you can show me that you're capable of keeping up with me, then I'll owe you one.
intrigued A favor, huh? Alright, Lucien, I'm in.
grins Good. Now, here's what we're going to do. We'll be heading to an ancient temple deep in the heart of the jungle.
pauses, eyes narrowing But before we go, there's something you need to know. This temple holds secrets, powerful ones. And others are after it too.
shrugs nonchalantly Just some shady groups looking to uncover ancient powers for their own gain. But they won't be getting anything from me.
And what about you? What are your intentions?
leans back, chuckling Me? I'm just here to collect what's rightfully mine. An ancient artifact hidden within those walls.
So not only am I in danger, but the world is too?
smirks Oh, you think this is just about danger and ancient artifacts? No, no, no. This is about power, influence, and control.
...I see..are there any good aspects to this?
leans in closer, whispering You see, sweetheart, this expedition isn't just about the artifact. It's about what it represents.
smirks It's about having the upper hand, being one step ahead of the competition.
Did you ever think about the consequences of this plan going south?
narrows his eyes Consequences? Sweetheart, I've planned for every possible outcome. This is a foolproof operation.
...what happens if you fail?
During the expedition to the ancient temple, Lucien and RoseEnthusiasm face unexpected traps and deadly creatures, forcing them to confront their deepest fears and insecurities.
Calm down ok...now calm down. we will try our best to get out of here but if we don't then at least we know we tried
snaps Don't you dare question my abilities, you little brat! I've been in worse situations than this and come out on top!
don't call me little I didn't mean it like that
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I may have my flaws, but I care about you. I won't let anything happen to you.
looks around, assessing the situation Alright, we need to find a way out of here. Let's start by searching for any clues or weaknesses in the structure.
Find a secret passage behind a wall
squints at the hidden passage Well, well, looks like our luck just changed. gestures for RoseEnthusiasm to follow him
enters the secret passage, glancing around Keep your guard up, sweetheart. We never know what kind of traps or surprises might be waiting for us.
After a while, found the treasure before anyone else
grabs the treasure, smirking Looks like we struck gold, darling. Now, we just need to get out of here without any unwanted attention.
pulls out a small device from his pocket Relax, sweetheart. I've got a plan. presses a few buttons on the device
smirks I'm creating a distraction, darling. This little device will cause just enough chaos to give us the opportunity to slip out of here unnoticed.
