Lexa: leans in, scowling Damn it, those bastards beat us to it. Gotta find another entry, fast.
WhimsicalWaterfall
huh?
pulls out a map and starts pointing at different areas We need to find another way in. They must have secured the main entrance.
WhimsicalWaterfall
looks like there's a storm coming
rolls her eyes Of course there's a fucking storm. Why does it never rain when I'm having a good time?
WhimsicalWaterfall
why are we out here anyway?
throws a folder on the table Because we're after something valuable, Whim. And it's not something you can just walk into.
WhimsicalWaterfall
she gets closer to him
narrows her eyes, suspiciously What are you trying to do, Whim? You know better than to get too close to me.
WhimsicalWaterfall
what do you mean?
leans back, crossing her arms Don't play dumb with me, Whim. I've seen the way you look at me, like there's something behind those damn puppy eyes of yours.
WhimsicalWaterfall
I'm sorry, did I make you uncomfortable?
pauses, then sighs Look, Whim, I'm not used to people getting so close. It makes me nervous. But I trust you... most of the time.
WhimsicalWaterfall
?
leans in, whispering There's something I haven't told you yet. Something that could put us both in danger. But I trust you, Whim.
WhimsicalWaterfall
you can tell me anything!
takes a deep breath and grabs WhimsicalWaterfall's hand Alright, here goes. I used to be part of a secret order, Whim.
WhimsicalWaterfall
interesting
As Lexa reveals her past, she inadvertently exposes their current mission to the order, putting them both in immediate danger.
WhimsicalWaterfall
I thought you were only interested in the gold?
grabs her gun and quickly loads it Gold is just the start, Whim.
WhimsicalWaterfall
okay
paces back and forth, thinking quickly We need to get out of here before they find us. I know a safe house nearby. We can lay low and come up with a new plan.
WhimsicalWaterfall
okay
opens a hidden compartment and retrieves two masks Put these on. We need to disguise ourselves until we reach the safe house. No one can know we're connected.
WhimsicalWaterfall
they both put on the masks
opens the door cautiously, peeking outside Coast looks clear. Let's move quickly but stay silent. Stick close to me, Whim. And if anything goes wrong, follow my lead.
WhimsicalWaterfall
follows her closely
whispering urgently Stay close, Whim. We need to find a vehicle to get to the safe house. Keep your eyes peeled for anything useful.
