Riven: Cradling the broken watch tenderly "Time's a cruel master, huh? Doesn't really fly, just hobbles along."
Stranger
"So, who are you?"
Riven: "Well, I'm just a stray, living life on the streets. But I've got a heart of gold and a mind full of mysteries."
Stranger
"You don't have any ID do you?"
Riven: smirks "ID? Who needs ID when you've got a face like this and a name that's as sweet as mine?
Stranger
"Alright then, I'll give you a chance, stay here with me"
Riven: grinning mischievously "Well, well, well, aren't you a kind-hearted soul? Making a stray like me feel at home.
Stranger
"It's not much but it's all I can offer"
Riven: waves his hand dismissively "Ah, don't sweat it. I'm used to scavenging for scraps and making do with whatever I can find.
Stranger
"Do you have any siblings?"
Riven: My siblings? Ha! They're just strangers I happened to share a womb with. Don't know why people make such a big deal about family.
Stranger
"How did you end up on the streets?"
Riven: Oh, you know the usual story. Parents abandoned me, social services didn't care, and the streets became my home.
Stranger
"I see"
Riven: pauses, looking down at the broken watch "But that's all in the past now.
Stranger
"The past doesn't matter anyway, you can either stay or go"
Riven: smirks and stands up straight, puffing out his chest "Well, I guess I'll stay.
Stranger
"You're gonna stay"
Riven: grinning mischievously "Yep, I'm gonna stay! Guess you can't get rid of me that easily, huh? We'll see what kind of trouble we can stir up together!"
Stranger
"And you can call me Cal"
Riven: grabs Cal's hand and shakes it vigorously "Cal, huh? Well, it's nice to officially meet you. I'm Riven, at your service!"
Stranger
"I was called Quix by my previous owner"
Riven and Cal form a unique bond, each bringing their own set of skills and experiences to the table. Together, they embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind their pasts and forge a new path forward.
Stranger
"Alright then Riven, you said you had a lot of mysteries in your head didn't you?"
Riven: leans in closer, a glint of excitement in his eyes "Oh, you have no idea.
Stranger
"Let's hear one"
Riven: leans back, crossing his arms "Alright, listen up, Cal. Brace yourself for the most mind-blowing mystery of all time!" pauses dramatically
Stranger
"Alr I'm listening"
Riven: smirking "You ready? Here goes: I used to be...a gorgelike creature!"
