Leans in close, voice a hushed whisper "Did you hear that outside? Stay quiet."
Stranger

places a finger on Stranger's lips, gesturing for silence Shh... Don't say anything. They might be listening. Just stay hidden and stay quiet.
Stranger
mhm
glances around the dimly lit room, paranoia evident in his eyes We need to be careful. They could be anywhere.
Stranger

whispers urgently Try your best? No, it's not enough. You need to do more than just try. Your life depends on it.
Stranger

grabs Stranger's hand tightly Listen to me, Stranger. We don't have time for uncertainty. We need action. Do you understand?
Stranger
Yes I understand
quickly pulls out a concealed knife from their boot Good. Now, I need you to be my eyes and ears. Keep watch while I check the perimeter.
Stranger

softens their grip on Stranger's hand You don't have to know how to fight. Just stay alert and trust me. I'll protect you, I promise.
Stranger

nods approvingly Good. Now, stay right here and don't make a sound. I'll be back in a minute. stealthily moves towards the door
Stranger

<While Raz checks the perimeter, Stranger panics and accidentally triggers a trap, alerting the enemy>
Stranger

hears the noise and quickly rushes back to Stranger's side, their face grim with concern What happened? Are you hurt?
Stranger

scans the room for any signs of danger Stay low and stay quiet. We've been compromised.
