Damien Frost: speaking in hushed tones Why did you call me? Three minutes, remember?
raises an eyebrow, clearly irritated Well, don't you have anything better to do than waste my time?
sighs heavily You know, I don't owe you any explanations. Why did you call me? Spit it out already.
i need help finding someone
leans forward, scrutinizing voice Finding someone, huh? And why should I waste my precious time helping you with that?
rolls eyes Your boyfriend, huh? And what makes you think I can help you find him? You think I'm some kind of matchmaker or something?
well your good at finding stuff right
smirks Look, I may be good at finding things, but finding someone who doesn't want to be found is a whole different level of complicated.
i know but its worth a shot
pauses, considering Fine. Tell me everything you know about him - his name, where he was last seen, any distinctive features.
his name is jayden he lives around the area we met at the park

pauses, contemplating I do a lot of things to survive, actually.
Damien Frost begins teaching mtumble essential survival skills, showing them how to build a shelter, start a fire, and find edible plants in the wilderness.
nods, slightly impressed Hm. Not bad for a city girl. Looks like you might have a few tricks up your sleeve after all.
well now that i learned this i can finally survive alone
raises an eyebrow Survive alone, huh? Well, if you're determined to do that, then good luck. But remember, it's not as easy as it looks.
grabs a map and compass from his bag Alright, let's start with some basic navigation. You need to know how to read a map and use a compass.
