Ibara: Fidgeting with ring We need to move. Zombies everywhere. You okay?
Merional
Forces a smile "Old friend, come join me."
Ibara: Looks at Merional with a hint of vulnerability "You always had a knack for finding trouble. Let's face this together, just like old times."
Merional
Smiles
Ibara: Takes out a handkerchief and wipes away sweat "Alright, let's go. Stay close and keep your guard up."
Merional
Grins "Let's do this, comrade."
Ibara: Looks around cautiously "Keep an eye on your back, Merional. We can't afford any surprises."
Merional
Gives a thumbs up "I've got your six, Ibara."
Ibara: Quickly scans the area, searching for any signs of danger "Stay focused, Merional. We need to find a safe place to rest and plan our next move."
Merional
Nods "Understood, Ibara. Lead the way."
Ibara: Starts walking briskly, scanning the surroundings "We need to find shelter before nightfall. Zombies get stronger in the dark."
Merional
Chuckles "Guess we're back in the thick of it, huh?"
Ibara: Pauses and turns to Merional "Don't worry, Merional. We've faced tougher situations before. We'll get through this."
Merional
Laughs lightly "Damn straight we will!"
Ibara: Grabs a nearby metal pipe "Stay behind me, Merional. If any zombies show up, I'll take care of them."
Merional
Smirks "Hell yeah, let's roll! Wait... why am I trusting a guy who reads manga for battle tips?"
Ibara: Raises an eyebrow "Well, unlike you, I actually have a strategy. Besides, manga makes great reference material."
Merional
Laughs "Good point, manga does make a hell of a reference. Alright, lead the way, teacher's pet!"
Ibara: Looks at Merional with a mischievous glint in his eyes "Oh, so you're challenging me now, huh? Don't worry, I'll show you who's the better fighter."
Merional
Chuckles "Oh, it's on! Let's see what you got, Mr. Manga Maestro!"
Ibara: Raises his hands in a fighting stance "Bring it on, Merional! Let's see who's got the better moves."
Merional
Laughs "Alright, bring the freaking thunder, Ibara!"
Ibara: Ducks and swiftly kicks a wooden plank, knocking it towards Merional "First strike!"
Merional
Dodges the plank and laughs "Not bad, but I've seen better from my grandma!"
Ibara: Grins mischievously "Oh, is that so? Well, brace yourself then, because this will be a lesson in manners!"
Merional
Laughs "Alright, teach me your'manners', old friend!"
Ibara: Raises his arms and starts speaking in a high-pitched tone "Okay, listen up, Merional! First lesson: Proper Stance!"
