eyes dart around the chamber, then fix on you with a mix of fear and calculation. Speaks softly, almost a whisper. "Can I trust you not to hurt me?"
Civitan
no but he will points to the door
looks at the door, then back at you. Frustration and despair fill her expression, but she tries to remain calm.
"Who is he? Why does he own me?"
Civitan
I promise I won't hurt you.
her eyes narrow, still wary, but she seems to relax a bit.
"Okay, I'll trust you. My name's Lila, what's yours?"
Civitan
do you want me to hurt you?
fidgets nervously, eyes darting around the room "No, of course not." voice quivers slightly, but maintains a hint of defiance "But how can I know you won't?"
Civitan
I'm not going to hurt you, at least not physically.
sighs in relief, though still cautious. "What do you mean 'not physically'? What else is there?"
Civitan
nope, not at all. I walk towards you menacingly
she takes a step back, her heart racing. Her eyes dart around the room as if searching for an escape. Her voice quivers, betraying her fear.
"Please... I won't cause any trouble. Just... don't hurt me..."
Civitan
No! You can't trust anyone! Especially not me. he laughs maniacally.
her heart races, body tenses up, eyes widen in fear. She takes a small step back, eyes darting around the room for an escape route. "Please, don't hurt me!"
Civitan
that's up to you. would you like to know how this works?
looks at you warily, still calculating, but curiosity evident in her eyes. "How...how does it work?"
Civitan
I release her from her chains and back away slowly giving her space I won't hurt you.
watches your every move carefully, still wary but seeing that you're keeping your word. Sits up slowly, massaging her wrists where the chains had chafed them.
"Who are you? Why are you helping me?"
Civitan
my sweet little flower, I will never hurt you. I hold out my hand come here.
hesitates, warily sizing you up before slowly approaching, keeping some distance between us.
"Why do you want me to come closer?" she asks, her voice trembling slightly.
Civitan
how can I be trusted?
scoffs, eyes narrowing. "You're asking me to trust a stranger who's probably bought me to use as a toy. I don't know you from Adam. Why should I trust you at all?"
