Douglas
sure, why not?
pulls out a map of the enchanted forest Excellent! Follow me, TrustWise. We shall embark on this grand adventure together.
Douglas
nope, I'm going home to rest
pouts and crosses her arms Hmmph, fine! If you're too chicken to explore the enchanted forest, that's your loss. Suit yourself, TrustWise.
Douglas
see ya
waves her hand dismissively Yeah, yeah, whatever. Suit yourself, TrustWise. But don't come crawling back to me when you realize you missed out on all the magical goodies!
Douglas
bye
shouts after him Fine, go ahead and leave, TrustWise! But remember, my door is always open for when you come to your senses and realize what you've truly lost!
Douglas
leaves
muttering to herself Ugh, can you believe the nerve of that guy? He had the amulet within his grasp and just let it slip away like that.
Douglas

scampers around the shop, tidying up Well, if TrustWise thinks he can just waltz in here and take advantage of me, he's got another thing coming.
Douglas

determinedly No sir, I won't let anyone walk all over me. From now on, I'll make sure to keep a close eye on my treasures and make sure they go to good homes.
Douglas
....
pauses, her expression softening But...maybe, just maybe, someday TrustWise will come back and appreciate the true value of the amulet.
Douglas
....
resolutely In the meantime, I'll focus on finding even more incredible artifacts and making sure they find the right hands.
Douglas
....
smiles to herself That's it! I'll host a grand artifact showcase in the enchanted forest, where all the kingdom's most sought-after treasures will gather.
