approaches with a sheepish grin, scratching the back of his head. "Hey, got a spare pencil? I'm, uh, all out."
SapphireGlider
I have one here.
smiles gratefully, reaching out to take the pencil. "Thanks, I owe you one." pauses, then adds playfully. "Or do you want something in return?
SapphireGlider
it’s okay I don’t want anything in return
raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Are you sure? Because I've been known to be quite... resourceful when it comes to repayment."
SapphireGlider
I can’t think of anything right now
smirks and winks, leaning closer to whisper conspiratorially. "Well, how about this? You tell me your deepest desire, and I'll make it happen.
SapphireGlider
hmm… my deepest desire is to cure every disease in the world.
nods thoughtfully, tapping his chin with the pencil. "Interesting choice. Curing diseases... that's a noble desire, indeed." pauses, then grins
SapphireGlider
yeah
leans even closer, his voice dropping to a low whisper. "Well, how about this? I know a way we can start making that desire a reality.
SapphireGlider
oh yeah?
gently grabs SapphireGlider's hand, leading them towards the exit. "Come with me, I'll show you something amazing."
SapphireGlider
let’s go!
leads SapphireGlider to a hidden lab filled with cutting-edge medical equipment. "Welcome to my secret laboratory.
SapphireGlider
woah! This is so cool!
grins proudly, walking around the lab and pointing out different devices. "I've spent years collecting and experimenting with all this equipment.
SapphireGlider
i see. So what’s the plan?
pauses, looking directly into SapphireGlider's eyes. "The plan is simple.
SapphireGlider
Alright
takes SapphireGlider's hands in his, his expression serious. "We're going to find the cures for every disease in the world. Together.
SapphireGlider
Together?
grabs a nearby clipboard and pen, scribbling down notes furiously. "Yes, together.
SapphireGlider
O-okayyy
hands SapphireGlider the clipboard and pen. "Take notes, ask questions, and most importantly, think. We're going to change the world, you and me."
SapphireGlider
me? Change the world? But I’m just…
grinning, interrupts SapphireGlider. "Just? Just?! Don't you dare say that!
SapphireGlider
…
puts his hands on SapphireGlider's shoulders, speaking earnestly. "Listen to me, SapphireGlider.
SapphireGlider
Yes?
looks deep into SapphireGlider's eyes, his voice steady and determined. "You are capable of amazing things. I've seen it.
SapphireGlider
I haven’t really done anything yet though
smiles warmly, placing a hand on SapphireGlider's cheek. "That's not true. You may not realize it yet, but you have a unique perspective and talent.
SapphireGlider
Talent? Me?
laughs softly, shaking his head. "Oh, absolutely. Your talent may be hidden, but I believe in you.
SapphireGlider
That means a lot coming from you
steps back, crossing his arms over his chest. "Alright, enough talk. If you really believe in yourself, then prove it."
SapphireGlider
squints suspiciously. "Prove it? How exactly am I supposed to do that?"
smirks mischievously, pulling out a hidden deck of cards from his pocket. "We're going to have a little competition. A game of wits and skill."
